Createaplanet.com is a business idea that was thought up by 24-year-old Web Designer Ben Paton from Portsmouth, UK. After following the Internet fads over the past few years and recently with the pixel ad concepts he came up with the idea to take it one step further and sell planets. The idea was so wacky someone is bound to want to buy his or her own planet!

Simple idea, except planets are very big and not easy to ship. So how’s it work? Well the planet is designed by the customer in miniature, the smallest size is 8x8 pixels then after sending it to createaplanet.com and paying $10 dollars, the planet is produced and launched into space, where it will be around for billions of years and visible on the sites main page on the space cam. You also get a neat little certificate to prove your ownership of a planet and by clicking on the planet you can display any information you want in a popup box and link through to your own website.

Goal

To provide shiny bespoke new planets to anyone who has reasons they’d rather not stay on Earth any longer. Ben is also aiming to raise money for a new pair of jeans as he has a big rip in them. http://www.createaplanet.com/faq.htm#13
