HEOP.org For Sale

——————EDIT——————

After two months thinking it over, we have decided to not sell HEOP.org. Primarily our main reason for selling was the money involved in running this site. After searching, we have found a sponsor to help us out. They are willing to pay for our server and help us keep our staff. In a few weeks, a few new changes will apply to this site. We will migrate our server and upgrade our software as well.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am the owner of HEOP.org, a privately owned website dedicated in providing information related the Higher Education Opportunity Program. I have created this site to provide information to my friends. However, lately this site has been getting popular on the web, generating over thousands of views. In addition, HEOP.org has been receiving questions related to the program that we try to answer to the best of our knowledge.

I have maintained this site for a while but I beleive this site is best left to those who has more knowledge on the program. After consulting of my staff and advisors at the university (Rochester Institute of Technology), I am going to put this website up for sale. This site comes fully developed with information and a developed database. HEOP.org will be sold to the higest bidder.

We have already received offers from other organizations but have rejected them. Offers ranging from $5000 – $10000 has been made (we have proof if needed be). We will send those organizations/individuals an e-mail stating that this site is up for sale and will be sold to the highest bidder.

I am willing to negotiate with any parties. However, I do want to sell this site to someone who will take care of it. This message will also be posted on the HEOP.org website.

When sold, the following list of items will be transfered to the new owner:
- Domains: Heop.org and Heop.info
- Website Database (user information, artiles, links)
- The template design used on the site
- Any and all images found on the site (except for those loaded from external link)
- The fully coded and developed guestbook
- The HEOP twitter account
- The logo
- 1 month of technical service (if hosted on our server)
- Hosting is available for the discounted monthly fee that includes support from my staff and me. Hosting comes with custom e-mails (ex: Sazzad@HEOP.org), e-mail forwarding, pop3 e-mail support for Microsoft Outlook, cPanel, Fantastico, MySQL database, phpMYadmin, Ruby on Rails, Frontpage Extension, 1000 MB of storage, 10000 MB of bandwidth. For a complete listof hosting features, feel free to drop us an e-mail.

Statistics:
This site generates over 100,000 hits per month and uses around 2,000 MB of bandwidth per month. HEOP.org bandwidth is mostly used for loading articles, posts, user information and a limited number of images.

We will continue to maintain this site until the final signing is completed!
