We have been using the term "brand new" as a way to show that we're trying to approach the domain industry a bit differently than our 5-10 year old competitors. I think the biggest example is that we've open sourced our javascript frontend (http://github.com/badger/frontend) which exclusively uses our API (http://badger.github.com/). We think the domain industry is ripe for disruption and we think we have the right team and ideas to execute. As you pointed out though we don't have a proven track record. Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do about that. Service guarantees and long-term contracts might seem nice on the surface but wouldn't really change much if we went out of business. I believe the quote goes something like: "The only two things guaranteed in life are death and taxes. (Benjamin Franklin)" That said, we're a star

tup in San Francisco with an office and employees and have been around for over a year. We previously were a domain reseller (rhinonames.com) but have spent the last six months becoming ICANN accredited and building badger.com. We think we can build the best registrar around and we're here to stay.

badger_com·Dec 27, 2011Submission

Badger.com is a new Domain Registrar. We oppose SOPA and like elephants.

Hey HackerNews, six months ago we started building a brand new registrar because we were underwhelmed by all of the existing options. Here's what makes us different: - We won't try to upsell you with unnecessary add-ons. - We want registering and managing domains to be an enjoyable experience... not something you're forced to tolerate. - We've spent a lot of time making our interface fast, simple and easy to use. We've built our frontend website entirely in JavaScript to make the experience as fast as possible. - Our website is open source and is built on top of our API. The source code (JavaScript, CSS, etc) for our website can be found at https://github.com/badger/frontend and the documentation for our API can be found at http://badger.github.com/. If you'd like to make improvements, we welcome and encourage GitHub pull requests! - W

hois privacy is free and enabled by default. - DNS hosting is free and enabled by default. - For a limited time, we are offering domains for $8 (new registrations, transfers and renewals). Please be aware that our normal price is $15 per domain. If you are registering or transferring lots of domains, volume discounts will apply which can bring the price all the way down to $10 per domain. - We are an ICANN accredited registrar, not a reseller. We only support .com and .net at the moment but we will be adding support for many more TLDs in the next couple of weeks so please bear with us. - We're a startup in San Francisco. Although our team is small right now, we have really big ambitions and what we have so far is just the beginning. We thrive on feedback, so don't hold back! You can send questions and suggestions to us at support@badger.com and we will respond as soon as we can. First 100 people to signup get a free domain: https://www.badger.com/#register/hackernews

badger-com·Dec 13, 2011

Thanks for noticing! We built badger.com a bit differently from most sites. Our backend is just a JSON api and the frontend uses this API and is implemented entirely in Javascript using an internal library we'll be releasing soon (code name: Hasher). API Docs - http://badger.github.com/ Frontend Source Code - http://github.com/badger/frontend Hasher JS Lib - https://github.com/badger/frontend/tree/master/javascripts/l... So for example, the Javascript behind our DNS manager can be found here -- https://github.com/badger/frontend/blob/master/javascripts/d...
