not planning on 1,000 members

I want a premium service with no ads..

I will not take anywhere near 500 members..

even if you get the $15 domains your company still won't last long... thats $7,500 right there on domains alone and you only wanna spend $10,000

go to http://www.dedicatedservers.com/... im pretty sure they will have prices listed... that will give you an idea of how much the server alone is gonna cost you...

say you buy those 500 domains at $15 thats $7,500...

that site has a good server for a $150 setup fee then $595 a month with 60 gigs of space... you said you want to offer unlimited space for 500 sites... since space is unlimited lets say each site uses 100 megs... thats 50 gigs right there... since the space is unlimited im sure some sites will use over 100 megs of space... so first you need to set a limit on the amount of space...

so you have already spent $7,500 on domains plus the $150 set up fee so now you have $2,350 left... your business is shut down within three months... your left with $30, 500 people stuck finding a new host, and no business...

Aren't there 9 buck domains from http://www.joker.com ? I've never actually visited them, so I'm not sure, but that's what I've been hearing anyways... so I suppose that saves you a couple of bucks.

Going in the free webhosting business is not the way to go... you'll just throw away your money, and after a while, the fun and romance of running it wears of.

If you persist in your wicked plans, try 4webspace.net
99$/month for a dedicated raq3 with 100gb ransfer... It's so inexpensive even I could afford it.
