Commenting to save this post. I do wonder what way this service could be built to satisfy the most non technical people as they still need to buy domain and use hosting service? If all of these steps could be taken care of by this service, that could be huge.. But that is my uneducated guess.
You are right, the domain will need to be bought by the blogger, but it will be only to change the url to redirect to http://steemitblog.com/#/?user=USERNAME, the hosting service will be only to buy the domain and redirect the DNS, a user can do it without touching any code. :)
Well that's good
@igster good to see you here! Yes, this is like a URL givin to you for FREE unless you want to get your own domain and hook that in :)
Good, I need all the Urls I can get! Will follow this project with interest
