Duleek-based Cars For Sale Ireland has chosen Letshost.ie to host the company’s website, in a bid to conquer the car sales market in Ireland.
Since its launch in April 2008, CarsForSaleIreland.ie has reached 80,000 visitors per month and has 270 car dealers from all over the country currently registered to sell vehicles through the website.
Cars For Sale Ireland features a car search engine designed to find any type of car for sale on the system, from both private sellers and garages. The site also offers car-related services to its users, such as the Cars Forum, low cost car insurance quotes and a comprehensive Auto Directory.
Competing car selling websites have been active for over ten years and in only six months, Cars For Sales Ireland has managed to become extremely popular on the web. In the next 12 months, the company expects to be among the top five websites in the country and dominate the Irish car sales market within the next three to four years.
Originally, the website was hosted by a company based in America. Cars For Sale Ireland has now three dedicated servers provided by Letshost.ie, to cater for the vast amount of data stored.
Co-founder Ray Hall (pictured right) said “We are making a great impact in the car selling market and are already ranking among the most popular websites in the country. We decided to change and move to hosting services based in Ireland, because as an Irish company, this is extremely important in order to go up in ratings in search engines such as Google."
"We approached several hosting companies in the country and negotiated with three of them. We chose Letshost.ie because it offered us the best value for our money and the best service,” continues Hall.
Graeme Conkie, co-founder of Letshost.ie. (pictured left) said “Cars For Sale is a project that required three dedicated servers to cater for the huge amount of data stored, that will keep growing in the near future. The success of a site of these characteristics is greatly reliant on the quality of the hosting services provided and we are delighted to be able to offer that high quality service.”
The company is also developing a total of 37 sister websites to cover car sales in each of the counties and provinces, with the aim to become the number one website for car sales and car-related services in Ireland.
To celebrate its success, Cars For Sale Ireland are giving one lucky winner selected from people who are buying a car through the website between November and February, an all-inclusive holiday to Tenerife to on Valentine’s Day 2009.
