I would say those are actually not very important. Domain name recognition, page rank, user base, organic traffic and database are what matters in "websites". Any pasionate bastard can port it to the host and infrastructure of his or her choice in the proverbial "weekend" ;-)

It's PHP, for what it's worth. I know because the first thing I do at any site is look at their error handling. Here's theirs, trying to load http://freescreencast.com/screencasts2 http://freescreencast.com/screencasts2: Missing controller You are seeing this error because controller Screencasts2Controller could not be found. Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app/views/errors/missing_controller.thtml. Fatal: Create the class below in file : app/controllers/screencasts2_controller.php <?php class Screencasts2Controller extends AppController { var $name = 'Screencasts2'; } ?> Not a very professional effort IMO. Here is the server string: Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) PHP/4.4.7 mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 And it's on a Dreamhost IP so probably debian (if I remember correctly?) update: Man, I really don't like CakePHP's error messages. Check this one out: Fatal: Confirm you have created the file : /home/.quintuplet/prodfsc/freescreencast.com/app/views/pages/getstarteds.thtml Great, now we know the dir structure. This is something that just should never be displayed. Doesn't CakePHP have "production mode"?

  Doesn't CakePHP have "production mode"? Yes, its a matter of changing the debug value to 0 instead of 1 in /app/config/core.php. If this were set you'd be getting 404's instead of error messages. @OP - This probably isn't the best place to sell your site, but you're going to need a lot more stats if you want to sell it anywhere. At the very least you need to show proof of revenue over time. A good place to start your asking price is 8 * monthly_profit.

    6 hours later and debug mode still hasn't been turned off, even though you told him exactly how to, in his own thread. Unbelievable. Most of the web devs I know would have panicked, fixed the setting and redeployed within minutes of learning they'd screwed up in a visible and embarrassing way. Inspire confidence this does not.
