MCServerlist.net For Sale
The time has come. I’m in need of more R&D time, and mcserverlist is taking up all of it. It has a thriving userbase, a loyal community, and is the largest publicly available listing of Minecraft Survival Multiplayer servers in the world. I need someone who is as dedicated to the community as I am to take over, and give the site the attention that I cannot.
Here’s some basic stats for those who are interested.
Stats
- Currently costs ~$150/month to run the site, could be cheaper if you ran it on your own server, however I use heroku because of it’s simplicity.
- Currently serves ~170,000 pageviews per day (5.27 million per month)
- Currently serves ~33,000 uniques per day (625,000 per month)

- Has 2,090 registered users. With 1,554 logging in within the last 10 days.
- Written in Ruby, using Rails 3.0, mongodb, memcached, and a plethora of other technologies
- Premium features planned, but not implemented. (Sponsored servers, whitelist management, SMS notification of offline servers, etc, etc.)
Reach

What’s included in the purchase?
EVERYTHING!
If you have a heroku account (they’re free), I can push the app to your account, and everything will run exactly the same. If you’d prefer that it be installed on your own server, we can include my services of migrating the app to your chosen location. I’ll take care of migrating the site, ensuring everything is setup properly, and leave you with the keys.
You’ll receive the entire Git repository that contains ALL the historical changes made to the site since it’s inception.
How to submit an offer / find out more information
The best way to contact me is on IRC. I’m always on, but don’t always respond, but a message left there will get to me with 24 hours. Unfortunantely, due to the massive amounts of email I get from the wiki, forums, and mcserverlist, any email sent there wont’t be seen for weeks. In IRC you can find me in #rsw on irc.esper.net. Most people in that channel will know where I am, or how to contact me. If you’d prefer the old fashioned way, you may email me at [email protected] Try to put something regarding the site in the subject, as that inbox get’s pretty full!
Reasonable Offers
Please don’t come to me with a lowball offer, I know that alot of people don’t realize how to monetize sites, and they think that a project like this is worth a couple hundred bucks. I will not entertain any low ball offers. Period.
So, if your interested, come and ask any questions you may have, send me an offer, and let’s make a deal!
I don’t expect the site to stay on the market for long, so if your interested, get your name in the pot early.
