Commercial Hosting

I think I would pay some euros (a month, or for each game) for a web site showing which games are in progress, what games (with settings) are proposed, a list of players ranks, and other added values. A centralized place for PBEMing for dominions would be a rather cool idea, and I dont see why this would not lead to a small reward for the author. Initially, it would have to be free, so that there is enough players attracted though.

I might as well, though I'm not sure of that. It would need to have added value in addition to just hosting the game, though, like a "find opponents" feature (need not be ultra-refined).

As for the "hoster loses interest in the game" problem - what prevents them from zipping the game's files and sending the result to another player, who could from then on act as a host - either network or PBEM?
