    why does it cost so much?
    is that all hardware costs?

    first you could sign up with a reseller program like ENOM, DirectI or WildWestDomains.

    The costs vary depending on the program, Bottom level is Free, Top Level is about $6k

    Once you are established and earning good revenue you can choose to get ICANN acredited, as I understand their is a cost of around $10k+ for this.

    Many members here will be more than willing to offer you a free $8.95 eNom reseller account.
