Peaches, thanks for the compliment about DirectNIC. Thing is our mainstream success really came about because of a fluke.

Originally InterCosmos Media Group was going to be free hosting, and portal type set up like Tripod, and GeoCities. Remember when these companies were sold for millions? We are going to be the next large community website.

Of course Grimm, and Noah were king of adult free hosting, so we figured we could take this knowledge and apply it to mainstream. We had some success, at least we had a lot of traffic. Since we were setting up some main new domains for the site, we figured we could save money by buying our own wholesale, and then sell them to our friends. Well things took off very well, so we decided there is a business to be made, so we went and became ICANN acredited, put together an amazing staff, and DirectNIC happened.

Since then it has been a struggle to keep DirectNIC going, I attribute all the success to my partners, especially the CEO Sig. I have nothing to do day to day, except cheer them on!

We do have some good things coming out soon, we got some good news from a bankrupcy court in NY - so we may be aquiring some new business models.... I will make sure to keep everyone informed.
