I loved it. My main domain is up for renewal from godaddy soon and if your prices are OK I'll move it over. Automating the DNS verification of Google Docs would be awesome (if that's possible), even if it's to some degree. I'll send more comments after I've tried it out some.

#22On top of the simplicity, design, and overall awesome feel of the website, the greatest thing is the privacy feature. Having everything in the WHOIS set to private is awesome and I applaud you for that. Godaddy charges an absurd price to make the WHOIS record private. Thank you!
You're welcome! Having privacy enabled by default was one of the easier product decisions for us simply because having it any other way didn't make sense. Any other feedback?

#23Awesome, thanks! Just used it to find and register a useful domain in under 10mins. SO much less headache than Go Daddy - very speedy. I also love the search feature, letting you know it's available while you're typing. That's how I actually found the domain I registered! I was a bit confused when using URL forwarding as it automatically appended /path to the source. So I removed that. I found I had to type my destin…
Thanks for the compliments! The "/path" issue with URL forwarding sounds like a bug... we'll look into it. What browser are you using?

Our prices are $10-15 per domain depending on how many credits you buy at a time.
Better integration with Google Apps is already high on our list... check back soon!

#25Looks really good, how are you going to handle the different prices for other tlds? Will you be adding .co.uk?
Some TLDs will be 2 or 3 credits per year instead of 1. We're still working out pricing on everything.
Yes, we're actively working on the co.uk (and about a dozen more TLDs) and hope to launch quite a few more within the next few weeks.

#26Very nice! Speaking as a non-US resident, the fact that 'State' be a mandatory field in the profile registration form is a bit annoying but I can understand why that's the default. Maybe that could be optional if the country field is set to nations other than the US?
Great point! I'll add this to our todo list. Anything else?

#27I see exactly what you are up to and i love it. I'll give more detailed feedback shortly but BRAVO!
Thanks, we look forward to your feedback!

#28I found a bug in your signup process: If the passwords you enter on the signup form don't match, it gives you an error, but creates the account anyway — so when you retype the passwords, it then tells you it can't create the account because the email is already used.

You've found a bug! I just fixed this so hopefully it won't happen again. If you're not able to login, give the "Forgot Password" link a try!
