Starting up a quality site costs way more than $5k. The software and hardware alone will set you back more than that. While it is probably true that going on the cheap is possible here, you can only go live with a budget like this if your sweat equity is high and you are very skilled in programming, design and marketing. Very few can wear all those hats and yet to be lacking in any one area can mean failure if you are not smart enough to recognize your deficiencies and outsource or hire.

Scales of economy play a major role in site development. After you have a decent sized operation in play, launching a new site takes alot less time and money. Even with all the hardware, software and labor in place, just aquiring quality content doesnt that is adequate for a launch doesnt seem possible for $5k.
