I know, I was wondering if financing this website was free, or there were any free plans for it

The imperialnetwork domain was setup as a base domain for, well, the imperial network. Meaning that the bank, imperitrade, impericare, Vigil Enterprises, ICS, comnet and whatever else I missed are all under the imperialnetwork domain.

The magic of the internet allows for such things to happen and even vastempire.com is under the imperial network domain.



------------------------------------
| Warning: Education Alert! |
------------------------------------

Let's take the following website "example.com"
This website can have subdomains for example tutorial.example.com

This means that the tutorial portion is under the example.com domain name. Like comnet.imperialnetwork.com

Now, you may ask how is the vastempire.com a subdomain of imperialnetwork.com because it doesn't follow this subdomain format.

This is possible because one may purchase another domain name. For the site tutorial.example.com we will use tutorial.com. Now, the administrator can tell the Domain Name Service (DNS) that the domain name "tutorial.com" points to "tutorial.example.com." This means you only have to type in "tutorial.com" into your browser to get to that page rather than "tutorial.example.com"

Now, you could still type in "tutorial.example.com" to get to that page. With that in mind, there are ways to manipulate a domain name to point to one thing and a subdomain to point to another. "tutorial.com" could point to the page you want and "tutorial.example.com" could point to anything else the administrator wants it to point to.

This is a very brief and simple example that dodges a number of other issues with the internet like how does typing in example.com always get me to example.com? For now it is just magic.

Well, when I typed http://vastempire.imperialnetwork.com, it redirected  me to https://vastempire.imperialnetwork.com:19638/welcome/, which is a administrator log-in site. I guess Kadann is the administrator?

The Imperial Network is a separate entity that allows any Imperial organization to use it's services. 

The Vast Empire is one of those organizations that use the Imperial Network for it's communications and applications (bank, store, stock market, etc).

You may have seen the FES around as well.  They are another organization that uses the Imperial Network.

Kadann is the authority about the actual make up of the system.
I'm just a guy who has a pretty good idea of how it all works.

Ah. I was wondering what it was because if I made a Star Wars website, I'd like imperialnetwork to be on it too

It would be your website that would be ON Imperial Network. Not the other way around.

Actually, I beg to differ. Everything has a cost. Visiting your website, for example, costs one quite a few a brain cells. Therefore, it isn't free

Also, it isn't free because there probably is advertisements on your 'website.'
