Happy Birthday Moonfruit! Now also supported at iWantMyName.

By Timo Reitnauer on July 2, 2009 7:19 PM | No TrackBacks

We wish the Moonfruit team all the best for their 10th birthday. They're not only great guys (we met them at ICANN Sydney last week) but they currently also give you the chance to win 10 new release MacBook Pro's (!) during a birthday celebration.

That's why we've also added Moonfruit to our Domains for Apps offering. If you've registered a domain with us and want to connect it to a Moonfruit site this can be easily done from your iWantMyName dashboard now.

Real-time DNS Management For Your Domains

By Timo Reitnauer on June 10, 2009 3:54 PM | No TrackBacks
Having total DNS control has been one of the most requested features of our power users. DNS is not only the underlying technology for our Domains for Apps but also probably the most overlooked cloud service. Hence we are pleased now to offer a low-level DNS editor which gives you full control over your domains and lets you manage DNS records completely in real-time.

The new DNS editor supports A, CNAME, MX, AAAA, TXT & SRV records. Have a look at this shiny new tool:

New Domain Search Feature: Check Domains via Twitter

By Timo Reitnauer on May 19, 2009 12:11 PM | No TrackBacks
In addition to being Apple geeks, we're also big suckers for simplicity and productivity at iWantMyName. So we thought: why not offer a domain search feature for a service where we spend lots of time anyway? Hence the concept of our iWantMyName Twitter Search Bot was born.

As of today you're able to check domain name availability by sending a direct message to the @iwantmyname Twitter account. Just start following us, send "d iwantmyname thedomainyouwant.com" and we'll reply with the search result including a link to immediately register the domain:

Search for alternatives if a domain is taken:

Immediately register the domain if it's available:

So whenever you think "I want my name" just open the Twitter client of your choice and off you go!

No matter if you want to start your own business or just launch a personal website or blog, iWantMyName streamlines the process of promoting your brand with a custom domain name. So that's why we're really excited to introduce our revamped domain configuration service "Domains for Apps" featuring some of the most popular applications on the web.

Over the last couple of weeks we were primarily working under the hood of iWantMyName with necessary back end changes for the new version of our iPhone DomainApp, preparing the site for new features and migrating our DNS infrastructure to a more flexible solution.

Furthermore we welcome a new domain extension at iWantMyName: .LC, the country code top-level domain of Saint Lucia, an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. More domain extensions will follow in the coming weeks, starting with the new .TEL domain which will be available for general registration from Mar 24th.

Don't forget to follow iWantMyName on Twitter to be notified of new features and other announcements.
