We certainly can take a five cent loss per year on each domain to gain
hundreds in hosting revenue.

Subject: Re: Domain for 9.95 ?
I disagree with your hopefull dreaming:
"SoftCom has established a relationship with OpenSRS to provide our valued
customers with a domain name registration fee of US $9.95 per year. The fee
will be billed by SoftCom and will appear on your monthly statement. You
will be billed every year thereafter"
What this tells me, very clearly is that:
A) SoftCom and OpenSrs have entered into an agreement where SoftCam can
purchase domains under $9.95 from them.
B) SoftCom will bill you $9.95 from now to eternity, for $9.95 for every
year that you have the domain with them.
This brings me to the conclusion, that there is no way no how they could be
selling those at a loss. In addition, I found no domain registration
agreement anywhere on their site, which is disturbing (even though they say
you won the domain...).
