This is a quick commute time project I did because I had some data in Google Calendar and wanted to get at it but I could only export it as iCalendar (.ics).
I used Stripe for payments and found it gloriously simple compared to previously doing battle with PayPal.
I did look at getting a dedicated TLD (i.e. icsconverter.com) for this but with Stripe (quite rightly) requiring SSL when I did the sums for getting a custom domain on SSL with Google App Engine it was around $50/year. Which is ok for a site that's going to be making some money but a little extravagant for a little side project
Especially when compared to $0/year for SSL on a appspot.com subdomain.
