Default Commercial Hosting

One difficulty with network games at the moment is that the host is invariably also a player, and if/when that player is knocked out of the game, he/she is still saddled with the task of running a game in which they have no further interest.

One possible solution to this would be a paid hosting service. Someone to dedicate some hardware and administration time to hosting Dominions not because they're playing, but because they're being paid.

Would this be legal? At (say) US$10 per player per game, would it get customers? If not, how much should it cost? If so, would it be worthwhile from the host's perspective?
