I like the idea. Do I have to wait for questions? Have you considered adding the ability for me to start adding scripts to be purchased?

I'm not sure what you mean by "wait for questions"...

Yes, I would love to add that ability in the future. If I get a lot of re-usable submissions, that may happen sooner rather than later.

I assume that Sakes means that right now, it appears as though a coder uses this site by fulfilling requests (questions).

Currently, there are 3 requests that a coder could potentially fulfill. Sakes is asking if it is possible to offer services directly, without waiting for somebody to ask for them.

From the FAQ: Can I post homework problems? Absolutely! That seems to encourage academic dishonesty? The stackoverflow community tends to self police homework, so it'll be interesting to see how explicit permission to pay for homework affects the site's community.

Academic dishonesty comes from academically dishonest students. Instead of policing each question and guessing if it's homework or not, I'm simply allowing any question.

Cheap is a poor word choice for your brand; it invokes bad associations for both of your audiences. Consider something implying speed instead, which signals "inexpensive," without suggesting a shoddy product.

True. It has worked well for NameCheap, only because the quality of the product is virtually identical among providers. Unfortunately it's not the case here.

I suppose I may have to change the name at some point down the line. It is quite difficult to find good names.

In my search, I sat down with instantdomainsearch and said "ok, I'm going to come up with at least 100 acceptable domain names", this was the favorite out of everyone I polled.

I like the idea of implying "speed" instead.
