the designs aren't that good, its a good idea to have a splash page, but I think its better if you do the actual design yourself. That way it'll have the same theme as your actual website. + you can provide more info like screenshots etc.

#12There's my awesome launch page :-): http://ruperp.comingsoooon.com/
Not sure if the page is a joke, but randomly I thought I'd mention you might not want to publicly "sell" equity for a venture. I don't think that goes over well with US regulators if you're in the US (I'm no lawyer, but that's what I've heard).
Heh, looked like a joke to me. Similar to the launch page Webware made: http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9973373-2.html

#13Would you trust any company that has to outsource the creation of a 'coming soon' page?

yup, but that requires effort ;-)

#16I am having hard time imagining who's going to pay $5 a month for this and yet don't bother using registrar's own page editing tools, which are routinely available for free.
RSS and maillist support are nice, but I don't think they add to much value to the proposition. If I am expecting a pre-launch hype, it likely means that I have a marketing budget and therefore I can certainly host temporary landing page myself.
In other words - I'm not sure about the customer acquisition and conversion strategies. I just don't see qualified paying customers between your potential users.

If it cost $1,000 to do it in-house and $5 to outsource it then that would definitely increase my trust and comfort level regardless of whether I was a customer or an investor.

Good analysis huhtenberg. It's kind of a neat idea but you've brought up some very valid caveats..

#20This is a worrying sign of a bubble if this gets many takers IMHO.
