Yes, it does cost time and money, but not more than $20 per month.
In most cases this fee will pay for itself with just one additional customer.
Here is a similar idea: One person maintains an archive and each vendor
pays a fraction of maintainance costs. Each vendor can post to c.s.n.a
something like this:
To get the pricing info on ProductName
Send e-mail to archive@domainname.com /*same for all vendors*/
with the subject: info on ProductName /*ProductName different for all
vendors*/
Vendors could then change the info document by sending it
to archive@domainname.com
with the subject: change info on ProductName password
All that the maintainer has to do is to write the archive
software and pay for the e-mail account. ($15/month at starconn.com)
I am sure many vendors will subscribe to this service. As I said before,
the fee will pay for itself with one additional customer.
