Well you would need approximately a quarter of a million dollars to do the
whole thing. Plus you'd need a few servers, some rack space. You would
need lawyers, developrse, and network engineers.

It's not that easy. Also at 10 dollars per yeaar, per domain, I still see
a profit of 20 dollars or more per domain we sell.

Come on guys, dont get greedy. Be happy with what you have.
