New domain name industry businesses and services are cropping up at an increasing pace. The industry is growing steadily alongside high demand for web services and anticipation of an explosion of new TLDs in 2013. My Domaining Radar is pinging regularly. I enjoy sharing the interesting new domain related businesses I find. There continues to be plenty of gaps to be filled in the operations of some domain investors or developers and the next big idea just might work for you.

My latest discovery is a start-up announced Monday on HackerNews. NameTerrific has set out to become the first domain name registrar for geeks and more importantly to fix some problems and annoyances associated with mainstream registrars.

NameTerrific has been under development by Founder “Ryan” Zhou Tong for approximately 8 months.

So, what does NameTerrific propose to fix? And just how geeky is it?

You’re probably well aware of some of the controversial issues consumers deal with when registering domain names.

Default Parking Pages with Ads – NameTerrific believes this is an unethical and ugly practice. New domain names default pages should and will remain clean with NameTerrific.

Sub-domain Hijacking – I’m not sure what registrars are still engaging in this detestable practice of redirecting undefined sub-domains (possibly typos) to landing pages with ads.

Endless Up-selling - Ryan believes that a few dollars savings is not worth a lifetime of clicking “No Thanks” to up-sell offers. NameTerrific plans to keep their focus on just domains.
