Back then, $9.95 for a memorable email address was pretty nice. I just renewed (again) with NetIdentity a couple months ago at $24.95 for the same service. I don't know if the profitability is so much in the domain names as it is the fact that it's hard to switch from such a custom address, especially when you know that everyone has it in their address books.
