I moved from Germany to Australia in 2007 where I was able to save some money from my day job. Then moved across the ditch to Wellington, NZ about 6 months later with ~$10k cash in the bank. I started running out of money after 9 months which was exactly the time our little domain registrar iwantmyname could afford a small salary. Most exciting time of my life (in a good way) with moving countries and starting a company!

Your service is very simple and straightforward (i love it) and the customer service is among the best I've seen in the industry.

Great job building something so awesome.

Did you work at the Metservice in Wellington? And run the Erlang user group?

That would be my co-founder Lenz :)

Great, I am glad to hear that you guys have turned a profit. I am over in the UK (in Germany with my wife for Easter) right now. I really enjoyed the Erlang user group while I was in Wellington. :)
