Selling your web host business - Act I

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:31:00 -0400

First we will start with an alert---because timing can be everything.

Marbles… One of the most important parts of any transaction is how many marbles you get to keep. If you are considering selling your company in 2008, 2009 or 2010 please run down (not just trott, put off til' tomorrow...I said RUN) to your tax accountant. If it would be a stock sale, which frankly you really don’t know today, you could be in trouble.

Why? The Bush tax reductions will soon start to evaporate, specifically the long term capital gain treatment which expires December 31, 2008 ---- yes a short 10 months away. In a stock transaction it could cost you another 5% in taxes.

Well it is only 5% some people may say. Yes but it takes almost 7% to make that up after paying taxes on the incremental amount you need to cover the poor timing.

So if you are considering selling in 2008 you should start earlier than later. And if you are considering 2009 ---- think again.

Fun Fact: Google's Revenue is $17,066 Per Server

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 19:52:00 -0400

I read about this on Bert Amijo's blog. 3Tera CEO Vlad Miloushev did the math:

1. Google's infrastructure consists of 500,000 to 1 million servers.

2. Google's Q4, 2006 revenue was $3.2 billion. On an annualized basis, that's $12.8 billion.

If you divide #2 by #1, you'd get $12,800 to $25,600 of revenue per server. If you take the average and divide the amount by 12, you'd end up with $1,422/month in sales for each server. Google spends about 10% of its revenue on operations, which equals $142 per server.

As a point of reference, let's consider HostGator's announcement that it will expand its presence at The Planet. HostGator currently leases 1,700 servers, which are home to 500,000 websites. That's 294 sites per server. If HostGator collected as little as $4.84 from each site owner, it'd generate more revenue per server than Google!

HostGator's cheapest service plan costs $6.95/month, but it allows customers paying $9.95 or more to host multiple sites. Which most - including HostGator's 10,000 resellers - do. So Brent doesn't have Larry and Sergey beat. Yet. But while I was doing the calculations above, I remembered a conversation with Lenkov from SiteKreator. Thanks to some kind of caching magic (which ISP-Planet discusses in this article), Lenkov's software can support up to 30,000 simple websites on a two CPU machine.

Let's say Brent springs for a quad core Clovertown from The Planet, hosts only 15,000 websites, and charges each site owner $1/month. This would put him ahead of Google in terms of both revenue/hosting expense ratio, and sales per server.

ISP-Planet says SiteKreator can be licensed for an "unpublished fee". I'll have to ask Lenkov about that...
