Not having to do that is easily worth $143.01.&lt;p&gt;I agree that the domain system is horribly broken, but these guys are closer to a solution than to a problem.</text></comment>

Care and consideration has been exercised in the branding of these names, from colors to typography.  If the &quot;raw materials&quot; are indeed $99 + $7.99, then $250 is a good deal for what amounts to 1.5-2 hours of skilled work to create this finished product.</text></comment>
