Really like the idea. Very simple and clear implementation.

Here are a few thoughts: - Try testing some different price points. I noticed the price goes significantly down when not needing 500 codes at once. The 99 Euro starting price is a bit much. - Somehow the name/logo reminds me of Demonoid. The logo is looking a bit "scene" to me. Try finding some more contemporary style. - The project is fully automated, right? Try giving 5 codes out for free. Everybody who is planning to use your service will need more codes anyways. - I want to be able to switch to a U.S. dollars pricing.

I remember needing a single use url shortener a while ago. I created this out of necessity: http://iwalton.us.to/vl/ It only shortens URLs, it doesn't host anything.

Good thing - just: We're not doing link shortening of any kind. We're generating redeem-codes for digital-content, with hosting included.

Thanks a lot for your input!

Seems like we still need to iron out a few quirks with the pricing model. This project is fully automated, yes. We already give 5 codes for free - There's also a button, which loads the correct setup for the free code package - did you miss that?

US pricing model is for sure something, we have to implement as quick as possible, even though it shouldn't be any problem to pay in USD.
