   No. I meant non-profit project,or near non-profit, just to cover 
collocation costs. I can develop it in short time, but I don't have a 
time, because I am doing other huge open source project, who takes all 
my free time.

   To be honest, I just wanted to share the idea, because I think this 
idea will benefit lots of  people, who wants to save some money on grossery.
   I want to make their life a little bit easier. I am not a vendor of 
any kind. I am a programmer, who still have a programming and software 
architecture
as a passion for  last 21 year. Probably I explained it not in correct form.

   For some period of time until traffic will be more than 25Gb I can 
host it even on my web-server.

   I meant to have some policy how to police the vendors. The validity 
of  the vendor's entries must be provided by the vendor itself. First of 
all it's some kind of advertising of  the vendor itself. Second of all 
you and vendor will have some feedback from the customers who bought 
some grossery or any kind of goods from that vendor. Users, who will be 
registered on that site will have possibility to rate the product. If 
user has been caught on results fraud for some vendors, all his previous 
ratings for all vendors will be invalid and that user will be prohibited 
for future ratings.

      Thanks for feedback!



All the Best!
