Clockspot looks really nice and by the numbers quoted it sounds very successful. I'm quite intrigued by how he arrived at the current pricing model. It looks like it's been through a few iterations and I'd be really interested to learn more

Quote - "In its landmark ruling in the Pentagon Papers case, the US Supreme Court said "only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government". The swirling storm around WikiLeaks today reinforces the need to def

Thanks but it was over a year ago, I committed a fair bit of time trying to sort out these issues with them. In the end, I voted with my feet. But thanks anyway.

Once Moniker were a good registrar, but not anymore. My complaints about Moniker include not answering support emails, refusing domain transfers for no reason (domains I had sold - which naturally upset the counterparty), support staff putt
