I get it, I get it, enterprises find it easier to pay large amounts than small amounts or whatever and good enterprise salespeople can make that happen because “they’re good”. But jeez, $15k/month?! Yikes.

I agree, it was a simple afternoon project on a down day where I didn't have much to do client wise.
The original code was only a single nginx config to fix the problem on my sites, when I realized there were others having the issue, I built out an application.
If I were redoing it today, I'd probably just have a running caddy server since it does HTTPS as well.
Still pretty cool. There's probably a lot of easy stuff like this that could sell.
For the record, I did end up slapping this together with kore/sqlite.
48 src/301.c
Could be shorter (I did the error handling lazily over more lines), or the same length with more features. Kore is nice.Anyone want to pay $15k/mo?
Then it would just sit there, despite the fact that it could probably be sold for $15k/mo, because that's not a skill I have. If someone signs up for $15k/mo, it's worth a couple extra afternoons to make it more robust for them.
I'm pretty sure you could have done the same, but selling this stuff is a pretty difficult task!
e: another thing you could do is resell domains through it; you wouldn't be competing with registrar builtins then.
