I'm not entirely sure what problem is being solved here. Domain registration and renewal is already pretty simple and easy, with a plethora of registrars, many with lower prices.

#12Is it possible to purchase with an API.. because that would be a gamechanger (if you can support your 500+ tlds).
API is on it's way but not ready yet. We are basically trying to create a standard for domain names. Also a lot ore is coming like instant landing pages, service integration ...

#13I assume they make their money by selling domains and taking a cut of the price. Based on my current registrar's prices, even comparing a single domain (i.e. no bulk discount), this service would be more expensive by:
.org US$7.45 .com US$2.99 .co US$11.63 .net US$6.61 .biz US$7.53
The lack of details (they don't specifically detail which registrars they work with) makes me wonder who would ever sign up for this.

The key feature seems to be "Manage domains from different registrars in a single app"

#16Site looks nice, responsive, and useful. It is missing an "About" though. Who are you, where are you located? If I register a domain through you, who is on the administrative, technical, and billing information for the domain? Thanks!

Do that many people maintain domains on multiple registrars? Seems to me like the kind of person for whom this is a problem would have already simplified their own life by picking a single registrar.
If this type of service minimizes "their cut" to the bare minimum, and made it very transparent who it was coming from so i could price check, i would likely use this service because they're bound to have more TLDs (due to aggregation) than typical registrars.
Unfortunately, currently i feel like i'd just be paying a significant premium for something i already find too expensive. And if this isn't true, i see no information to indicate otherwise (at a quick glance, at least).
