I am not sure that size is that im****tant, just the principle - the idea
is to
make a profit - for you - not for the people producing the material.

I currently operate a number of domains, and rent the server space to host
them.
Of course it is not free, but if you cannot afford to operate a domain,
why
did you register it?
Learning and writing the various forms of code required is one of the
benefits -
you may want to remember that generally, people have to pay to learn,
rather
than get paid.

you.
If you wish to start a web publi****ng business, then good luck to you and
I wish
you every success. However, pretending to be doing a favour to aspiring
writers
by profiting from their work instead of them (rather than as well as) is
dishonourable if not dishonest.
