   This doesn't bother me as much — FOSS projects don't need a rockstar designer for their website, do they? Unless a "designer" "developed" the website for them and they got blindsided, which I'm sure happen

    Something similar, with an on-premise that's very mature is Bitrix[1]. It's a terrifying beast to setup, but once setup correctly it's actually pretty fun. [1] http://bitrix24.com

    There really isn't much room at all. If anything, the room is a race to the bottom. There's room in niche hosting services, like WordPress or Magento, and you can make a pretty penny off it. But your typical shared, VPS, or dedica

    I don't think this is true. So many shops these days sell fulls (inc SSN, DOB) at reasonable prices, some including even VBV/MSC passwords; you can filter by non-VBV/MSC as well, making VCV/MSC useless. And if you really
