That's one of the problems with cheap domains in the sub $5 range. Some gTLD registries (.space included) thought it was a good idea to offer them really cheap, but what they got were mostly spammers which puts you in a bad neighborhood.

There are a few others which you may want to avoid according to this report: https://securityintelligence.com/enticing-clicks-with-spam/

We moved it at the very beginning of July. I made that more clear in the article now. Thanks for pointing that out!

Timo from iwantmyname here.

It's certainly something we are aware of and multiple logins are planned.

We are using Authy as two-factor authentication service provider and they allow you to use multiple devices: http://blog.authy.com/multi-device

I also wrote an article about ALIAS-type DNS records for CNAME functionality on naked domains and alternatives last week:

As many others pointed out this is a change in ICANN policies and we are required to do this. The page will be completely neutral without any ads.

It's not that bad anymore. When I arrived 5 years ago the data caps were still terrible with around 10GB. They still exist but are 10x-20x higher now (and there are some unlimited plans) and 100mbit down is not uncommon. There's 4G with decent speed too... I get 27mbit down on my iPhone 5s in Wellington—that's on 3.5G. Some rural areas are not as lucky of course.

New comment by treitnauer in "Introducing Open Salaries at Buffer"

treitnauer — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 01:33:08 +0000

It's great to see other companies experimenting with openness in salaries. We've taken a different approach and pay all employees (including founders) the same salary which increases as the company grows. Our team is now 8-people strong and it's working great so far. As long as you contribute to the bottom line everyone's salary goes up automatically. It's totally transparent, no negotiations required, reviews, etc.

treitnauer — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 18:11:38 +0000

iwantmyname is hiring a back-end blacksmith!

Location: Anywhere (we're based in Wellington, New Zealand)

We are a small international start-up (there's 7 of us at present) where creativity, transparency and happiness are the company's core values. Our team is a bunch of geeks who love building the most awesomest domain management service on Earth.

So let's have fun() and play with all the nice stuff you always wanted to play with. We've built a stack here at iwantmyname that is both flexible and fun, and we're in need of another hacker to help us turn it into a beauty.

We're currently using modern Perl, Erlang, Coffee Script, Lua, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, Redis, Kyoto Tycoon, Puppet, Vagrant and are looking at a whole lot of new toys to build the best possible experience for our customers.

So if you've run up against company policies around $favorite_toy in production, join us and see it scale or die in flames. If you introduce technology that is not up to scratch yet, put some time aside to contribute back to that project to get it where we need it.

We love open source, we contribute a lot and we want you to be actively contributing to projects or talking at conferences to share your knowledge with the community.
