I'm selling DeenZone.com .

Audhu Billahi Min Asshaytanir Rajim,

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Indeed All praise is due to God alone, and Muhammad is the final Messenger of God. I started a website roughly two years ago, Deenzone... and it got its identity through changing ideas of what its purpose would be. I don't know if anyone here knows of halaltube.com, but I've come to learn of it when telling my family and close friends the idea of DeenZone. Basically, I wanted to make a platform that would take the most common YouTube channels that aren't too bias to an opinion, and bring together all their posts in the form of a website. I selected around 10 YouTube channels including TheMercifulServant, TheProphetsPath, iLovUAllah, InkOfKnowledge, and YaSeen Media. Going into it, I used a shared hosting package offered by HostGator, and it was sufficient back then. However, now, the website has really grown, and knowing a bit about the way Google works, and SEO in general, that is a very positive thing for websites, the fact that they have an established growing visible over time.

I was planning at some point to add Khutbahs and expand the sources, but I never got to it because of school, and the busy schedule I had. Currently, the website automatically picks up videos using a plugin that uses YouTube's API and automatically shares them on the website with the description, and sorted into categories with tags. I've not changed the theme of the website for over a year now, I'm quite satisfied with the overall simple look, and navigation. I think simplicity is good for the typical person that's looking to learn about the religion, and on that concept I've not made it as complex as I could've perhaps.

Currently the website has over 6,000 videos from the channels provided, and a few extra pages and articles I wrote a long time ago. Considering I was little, it's not the best piece of literature, but I didn't remove it, it's right there for anyone to read. The website gets roughly 10 views a day. I also set a system so that each post published would automatically be fetched by Facebook, and Twitter accounts. It's quite funny because I forgot about the Twitter account which I checked a few days ago to see it had 4,001 posts and 2 followers 😂

I think it's been a great website I've lead until now, but because the website had a lot of thumbnails and I was over my inode usage, I had to delete over 4,000 thumbnails. The system auto-fetches the thumbnails which means so long as any of the channels upload videos, it will automatically pick up the video and the thumbnail, however the past ones I've deleted are gone, but can be re-downloaded easily with the use of a wordpress plugin. If I wanted to renew my hostgator hosting package, since the end of 3 years has come, I'd need exactly $358.20 which I don't plan on paying. Therefore, I've this website, Deenzone, which is huge because of the size of the website (at last I backed up all the thumbnails before deleting them, so right now it's around 300 MB afaik, but before, it was not exceeding 3 GB as a whole). The inode usage is still crazy, so I can't transfer this website, and it's almost become a burden to keep it. I'm being as honest as possible, as I always try to be with anything I write or say. I did have adsense on the website, and let me check right now how much it made... well, it's made nothing 😂

I think there is a great potential for the website, but I simply don't have the time to take it further. I think it's fair that I put the price of the website at $250, and perhaps have the comments thread as a bidding platform if anyone does want it for higher than that. Now would they, I don't know. But I think $250 is a fair price for everything that's in there. If you're interested in buying it, we can get into contact and I will hand you the login information for the admin account, and completely remove myself from the website. If you want me to help, that's a different story, I'd be more than willing to run you through. Once the website is sold, if it is of course :D, I will not be viable for any flaws in the system or anything like that. I'll be here to help in any case to the best of my capability, but money back guarantee or anything like that, I don't have. So, if YouTube decides they want to stop providing webmasters the ability to do this, that will be the end of the automatic video-fetching system I've currently.

It's very important to notice that if you've no knowledge of websites, it will be a one-time fee to me for the website, but you will also need hosting (you can either do something like I did, where you pay 3-7 dollars a month and host 1 to unlimited websites on a shared host, or have your own dedicated server that you own, or is provided by another service). Regarding the domain itself, I got it for $38.85 roughly two and a half years ago, on 2015-08-02. That means it has until August 2nd of 2018 till it needs renewal for another 3 years which should be the same price, and if it was at a $2 or $3 promo per year, it won't exceed 50 dollars in total.

If you've any questions, or you're interested in buying the website, I'd be more than happy to help or talk to you about it. The replies section is open for all that, and if you do decide to buy it, we can move the conversation to private messages to exchange contact information.

I also have some threads I posted before regarding the website, and if you'd like to read those, feel more than free to, they're right here:
