Do you want people to buy the domains online, that will cost. Do you want them to be able to receive e-invoices according to some standards or do you want it to integrate to an invoicing system that works for your country, that will cost. The bandwith, that will cost. Offsite Backups, backup system, redundant storage...that may cost...if you really really need it. But not more than an extra 50k for a small redundant NAS. Do you want to run a toplevel domain? Hey, that goes for well less than 20k dollars easy with a couple of redundant servers. It will do for hundreds of thousends (probably millions) of domains. With redundant power supplies and a redundant active/passive pair setup (two servers for the primary, two for the secondary). > Since it is a Debian list, I will mention only free software, of > course. > Naturally!

I know. You can manage even dozens of thousands of domains on a typical PC with Debian. The ".nl" zone (almost one million of domains) runs fine on a PC.

Software for a NIC (Network Information Center)
Hello to all, There are some Contries in the World without a NIC or any Internet-Structur. Because I am working on 3rd World Projects I need to know whether there are LINUX Software to create a NIC. What Software do I need (even if I use Solaris). Please note, that this Contries I am working for are not rich, and do not need the last Supercomputers for routing some hundreds Domains. So I need to know, which Hardware I need. I think, the full Hardware/Software can not exceed 150k US$, better less. (the cost does not inlude the Online-UPS) Thanks Michelle -- Registered Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
