"Even if you set the registration price to say $1,000" Do you realize the impact that would have on innovating new web apps?
Negligible if any. Buying an SSL certificate is more expensive than registering a domain. edit: It'd also be likely someone would startup some 'free/cheap' subdomain hosting for people who don't want to pay the $1000... eg myapp.free.com
Bollocks.
Right now I can get an SSL certificate and register a domain name for under $30 through Dreamhost.
I can think of a few projects that I've started that have helped a few people that never would have gotten off the ground if we had your preposterous $1k fee for registrations.
The current system's not great, sure, but it's a whale better than your "only the rich can register" plan.

You got me thinking... I'd like 4qe.net if I could.
