We've been hard at work creating a new domain registrar and now we want some feedback to help us figure out where to go from here!

The first 100 users to signup using this URL will get 1 free domain Credit:

--- Please please please give us feedback! ---

P.S. We only support .com and .net at the moment but we'll be adding about a dozen more extensions in the next couple of weeks.

Really nice service—great UI.

Time for a change after 7yrs Godaddy.

Super-nice. I registered a domain painlessly...on a tablet, at that. Minor quibble - don't use fixed screen ratios for everything. But otherwise, great so far. If it keeps up like this I'll transfer in the 5 or 6 domains I have at other registrars (1&1, godaddy).

Love it. I like how every domain typed in the search box shows instantly and is saved on the right as we type new ones in.

Thanks for the credit as well!

The signup form appears to have a issue. If the passwords don't match I get an error stating "Unable to create person: Email already exists" and I'm not able to continue.

Great UI with lots of polish and this leads to a great user experience. I love the way search history is displayed. A little 'clear history' option might be useful, but refreshing the page has the same effect. I'll be trying this for my next domain purchase.

Would be great if I could leave comments on your site. I do see an email contact form, but I presume you don't want feedback that way.

How have you written this? It's fast and has an interesting feel to it, but I don't recognize the JavaScript framework.

Also, how can I leave feedback from within the site?

OK. I'm able to log in after using the reset password feature which is a bit weird since the signup failed.
