People can be hurt in an e-commerce world. The hurt is in their pocketbooks. The Internet has allowed many cyberspace merchants to open storefronts. Countless Web sites offer affiliated programs for re-sellers.
Start your own virtual server by signing up with one of the affiliated program Web sites. Your troubles may have just begun. Web space has to be sold before the re-seller can start making money. There is plenty of competition in cyberspace, and it isn't too long before the re-seller has to start cutting prices and offering more space. One day the virtual server is closed, leaving customers who did buy Web space, without a hosting server.
