I see you are doing domain registrations. "You can register a new domain for only $14/year with us" That's quite an undertaking. Is this a white-label thing? I'd imagine there's quite a lot of management that

I have to admit - I'm dying to know just what it is that this group has on Sony. They are completely back on their heels with this.

Seconded. I can't remind myself enough that there are plenty of successful SaaS apps outside of the HN/TechCrunch/Pando loop. Talk about tunnel vision... Congrats on your success.

I'd love to hear more of your story - seems like you have the perfect gig. A lot of your customers seem like small/medium sized businesses. How did you go about acquiring them?

I think it's even more complicated than this. But props on the design. Nice to look at.

I agree. I hate this example. Not sure why it's so ubiquitous. Think of like this: Each record in your dataset goes through the "map" phase. This is really just a categorization. You look at each record and assign it, o
