Go slow. Our first driving lesson isn't at 75mph on the interstate.
Yeah, we're definitely planning on this with a "public beta" launch.

Lots of potential for problems, sure. At the same time though, remember that my partner and I bring in close to 1,000 signups a day with HostGator though, so we're not totally in the dark about some things.
