2. Is there any type of content management system that works on a monthly lease? OR maybe there is a nice open source solution out there?

3. Where should I focus my security efforts? Password cracking? DDOS? What are the main threats to my business?

4. If you could give me 2-5 tips, on how to improve efficiency/effectiveness, what would they be?

5. What is your average charge back ratio? Is there any way to improve this? (less charge backs)


Thank you so much for any information you can toss my way
Ok, let me try to give you some serious tips.

Being able to get a catchy domain name is always good, however it is not easy these days. a two word domain is probably the best you can get, I personally would not settle for a .net or any other ext then .com Your members will get an email after signing up and a "smart" surfer will keep that info, including his/her sign in info stored.

CMS systems are all over the place, just shop around and use what fits your needs.

PW protection is something you'd need I suggest strongbox personally. But there are others as well.

Find some people that take you serious and are willing to help you. There are plenty of helpfull people on the boards.

Good luck with your venture.
