    An old client of mine who was a domain broker died last year in april. His kid who is an "artist" (shitty painter) contacted me to build a site where he can sell the domains and do some consultation because he has no idea how these things work.
    We build and audited a dedicated server, developed the whmcs+wocommerce extensions for domain as product management, and started creating the shop. We had some awesome ideas to create something what isn't looks like garbage and actually sells the stuff. After 2 f. months on the design the site looks like something from the '90, and well we have to stick with that. Quick development, most of the stuff we wanted will be in the second phase.

    He started being an asshole after the third month saying that the site is shit and the didn't sold a single domain. I told him that he should think about the prices and we need to develop the marketing tools.

    Now after 3 months of silence I got a CALL from his secretary because he was thinking that we paid for the server and only we can contact the support and the site was down.
    It turned out that it's nothing serious just a scheduled maintenance at the hosting company.

    checked the site he is down to 5k per domain lol. and back in bed with his dads old partners Uniregistry Market :)

    rocmary dot com it's a fucking beauty.
