I guarantee you I can store and make available over DNS the less than 1 KiB of data for less than a penny a year.
Instead of free, charge a flat $1, put it in long term US treasuries at 5% / TIPS at 2.5% and you’ve covered your hosting costs forever. The principle will never need to be touched.
- notatoad 1y agookay, so why aren't you doing that. if you can offer domains for $1, you can undercut all the existing players by a huge margin. that's a big opportunity, no?
- fruitworks 1y agoYou would need to pay the ICANN fief
- eikenberry 1y agoEveryone would get a subdomain and so you only need to pay for 1 TLD.. that's <$20US/year.
