You should use Internet.bs to register your domain names. They don't accept Bitcoin but prices are good and they have free whois privacy(not just the first year). Also, they're anti-SOPA and are offshore(Bahamas).
You seek programmers but you should tell some of the things you want programmed or else nobody will be able to know if their skills are needed.
I read the whole thread and the only thing I managed to understand is that you want investors lol
Thanks, psy, if that's your real name
, for taking the time to read the thread and offer up your suggestions and opinions.
Although Internet.bs is a kind suggestion for registering the domains, for sure on this aspect I would rather purchase from a fellow Bitcoiner, mainly as a goodwill gesture toward the community for sometimes having to put up with my shenanigans.
The same for hosting, but reliability is critical and must be able to handle a large site. I would even consider Josh's data center for this aspect if I felt it could fit the bill.
On the seeking-investors concern. Seriously, when I started penning this thread, having investors wasn't even on my mind. But somewhere around penning the second paragraph, I had an epiphany of how I can safely incorporate that aspect into the mix. My follow-up posts also mentions the "I" word, among others things, thus you seeing that the main theme of this thread is seeking investors.
So, to be clear, I guess I will be seeking investors who want to double their money, but not till I have outlaid the initial investment to get the project registered and hosted. That said, I should have no need to speak of investors from this time forward until that time is warranted.
I feel that keeping this thread in this section is fine until I get the domain names registered and have secured hosting, then start a new thread in either the Project Development or Lending sections.
The main goal of this thread is to seek programmers capable of building the damn thing. Upon further research, I did find a site that leans toward what I have in mind, albeit it falls short:
http://www.themillionpagewebsite.com/I was not aware of that site prior to posting this thread. My idea has nothing to do with a million pixels either.
For starters, can somebody take a look at that site and see what programming language it probably uses as its back-end? Aside from having a good grasp on HTML and CSS, all other languages are beyond me, but I do know what I want and how the beast should perform.
It will be a Rated G site, thus no porn, gambling, etc., related content. It will be member based, but non-members will be able to peruse the entire site.
Bitcoin will be a major part of this project, but as I mentioned earlier, I could easily develop this idea without having Bitcoin in the mix whatsoever. But by incorporating Bitcoin, a broader audience will now be exposed to Bitcoin and members will be able to purchase the product/service it'll provide and enjoy a 50% discount when paying with Bitcoin.
Again, I don't have the foggiest idea of what type of programming all this entails. But if the programmers here ask if I desire my site to do X, I can easily say yes or no with elaboration, thus in time able to see exactly what's needed. I'm pretty sure that at first NASA didn't realize they needed a Saturn V rocket to get to the moon until questions were asked of their engineers. They did know that building a Buck Rogers rocket ship wouldn't get them to orbit, let alone off the launchpad.
