seems great. easy UI to navigate and it took very little time to set up my first domain. just gave you guys a shout out on Twitter, hope it helps. ps. you should start tweeting, so my @ to you turns up interesting stuff!

also, two little things:

1. if you log out then go back to badger.com, there doesn't seem to be a way to log back in if you are in the beta.

2. for some reason my Whois didn't change from private to public even though I provided and saved the necessary info.

hope this helps

Brilliant work. I've never actually enjoyed searching for domains before! Depending on how the service holds up, I'll definitely look into transferring my domains over from GoDaddy.

Quick question: do the credits expire? I don't have a domain to register right now, but would love to use my credit later.

I 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!

Thanks. Yeah, "Forgot Password" link was the first thing I tried and it worked perfectly, but I thought you'd like to know about the bug anyway. Silly little things like that can be hell on your bounce rate.

Well laid out site, I just might have to port over my domain. Sick of Godaddy....

One gripe though. I registered a new domain to check out the interface, but it was not immediately obvious that you offered DNS services. I might have ported over my domain today had I known this beforehand.

Just logged in, first thing that popped up is the "dotted line" around every menu link I clicked. I would suggest adding the following css to your menu a tags: { outline: none;}

Absolutely love the way to search for available domains... It was so painful beforehand! Thanks!
