Video clip hosting website for sale - cheap!

URL of site: SOLD!
Daily Unique Visitors to the site: New website, no traffic.
How does the site generate income? Google ads.
What is the monthly cost of running the site? A few bucks a month for hosting.
Reason for selling? I built the website as an experiment in creating a video content management system however I have zero interest in running the website long-term.
Will you help transfer the site to the new owner? Yes.
What does this site sale include? The sale includes the domain name, the script, and the design.
Is this an auction? Yes.

This is a video hosting site that was 50% coded by myself. I took a bunch of freely available scripts and hacked them so that they were suitable for hosting videos in any format. This script will host videos in ANY format that can be viewed by a browser. WMV, FLV, Mpeg, MP4, etc..

All of the settings are configurable through the admin panel and anything you see on the site can be changed at will. Videos can be added through FTP or uploaded through the admin panel. You can also hotlink videos hosted on other websites(though this is not recommended). You can bulk add videos and have them all submitted into the proper categories in less than two minutes. You add videos with or without a thumbnail. The script does not create the thumbnails, you have to make them yourself. However it will resize your thumbnails for you into any size you want, as long as you provide a pic.

The CMS also generates webpages and categories in search engine friendly URL's. You can add descriptions to the videos if you want, which will help your videos with getting indexed into google better. Users can comment on videos, rate them, and the system tracks hits and downloads of each video. Users can also upload their own videos if you choose to activate this feature.

Right now the website is stocked with 250 videos in 4 categories. These are videos that are freely availuable on other websites like Google video and youtube. They come with the site, although I can empty the video database and you can start fresh with zero videos if you wish. It'll be up to the new owner.

Let's start the bidding off at 20$.

About 700mb. I'll give the new owner the website at whatever size he wants. I'd just have to delete a few videos is all.

Well the design is not very nice, but I like the idea to have my own video site. I offer 40 € for it.

>> Users can also upload their own videos if you choose to activate this feature.

How do you do that since you told first you need to ftp them or upload trough the administration panel??

Would be nicer if you could just browse to upload the files.

You misunderstood me. You can upload them through the admin panel using a "browse" interface. Users upload through the same interface only you have to approve their videos before they are submitted to the website. I personally just prefer FTP anmd think it's faster but you can upload the regular way as well.

So it is not 'myplace" . Would be nice to offer people the possibility to create there own video place, with a description of themself or the video, and that people can add comments.

A few more questions, possible ways to improve :

Is there a maximum size to the video's to upload (wide and large).
Would it be possible to make some pages "for subscribers" only, some video on pay per view base with paypal or credit card.

Is there a possibility to protect the video's from "hot-linking"

Is it possible to add tags on the video's, so that they are classified in multiple categories.

Tell me, when is the auction finished. I am impatient working on this project.

Also would be nice if it could be possible to people to put the video on there own website, with an automatic code generator. But it is important that people have to visit filmclips.be to view.

Also I see that at this moment most quicktime films are not viewable on my computer, example: http://filmclips.be/img107.htm.

Can you also tell me when this auction is finished?

Of course I am serious !. I paid you the 50 € you asked, and did provide you the hosting and DNS informations you requested. When will the site http://filmclips.be be transfered to me ?

Thanks for everything,

David Norden

It's a very large website, you need to be patient. I am in the process of transferring it all right now into your hosting account. I was going to convert all of the Quicktime files into windows media video format after you complained about not having quicktime installed but since you're in such a huge rush I will leave them as MP4, for now.

After I am done transferring the website I will reply to your questions you asked. Give me a few hours.
