We've started building a new domain management service at http://iWantMyName.com and we're bootstrapped, profitable and proud as 37signals would say... ;)

Here is some more background information from a co-founder perspective:

I've been using this for a while, the site is beautiful, simple and fast, it's like the anti-godaddy in the best possible way. the online support is also some of the best I've experienced. really great job guys.

Thanks for such kind words!

Since we're on HN, I thought I'd also share the tech behind iWantMyName.

It's a catalyst app powered by a RabbitMQ based backend flavored with a lot of CouchDB and sugar coated with some Redis: http://lnz.me/K6MP

I had looked at your site some months ago but saw you were a reseller for 1 API at the time. Are you guys ICANN accredited now?

Not yet. We're accredited for some ccTLDs and will add further accreditations as we grow. That's a common practice at lots of registrar companies. Even the big ones like GD, NetSol etc. are "only" resellers for some ccTLDs. We've got an excellent relationship with our ICANN registrar and access to all management functions so there isn't really a difference technology-wise.
