Not only will the programmer cost easily $10k+, the high-end servers & bandwidth will cost a large sum as well.
It's not exactly a good idea to use an ordinary $199/month server for it. You also need to find optimal connections to the appropriate registrars.. So if a certain ISP reaches a registrar (milliseconds) faster than another, go with it. It'll make a difference for sure.
PM me if you have any questions. And no I don't have an advanced copy myself, only a medium one.. and yes I can get you in touch with the appropriate programmers, but don't bother pm'ing me if you can't cough up the cash
