The site had its first news item published in July 2008, six months after registering the domain name. The longest he's possibly had a hosting plan (just assuming he got it with the domain) is about 1 1/2 years. If he had any sense when he was shopping for hosting plans and domain registration, he couldn't have spent more than $120 so far. If he's buying hosting by the year, maybe $160. At minimum he's making $40 profit on the capital. Even if you get the website, its nothing special to search engines, doesn't stand out visually or content-wise, and I doubt it gets much traffic yet. I'd only want the domain name, and I'd still feel cheated at half the price. There's a lot of work left to make something out of phpscriptor.com. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
