    I like it, looks professional.

    Only suggestion I'd make is when you select a domain name, that the bottom bottom of the page is removed.

    I'd remove the obvious trademarks from your listings. They don't give the right impression - certainly they don't look professional (and having them all together makes it easy for anyone setting up a DRS to find other infringing cases to demonstrate a "pattern of behaviour")

    Given the calibre of the rest of your names, I'd advocate dropping them entirely as they do you no favours - but at the very least don't display them on the same site as your generics!

    I don't like it.

    If the main point of the site is clearly displaying your domains and making it easy for people to contact you about them, for me it's doing a bad job.

    Too much going on that isn't important, distracting.

    The paging would be better if it was based on the first letter of the domain, rather than an arbitrary number.

    My Thoughts:

    1. View our domains page is not easy to read. Either have the domains as a list, or all on white background / all on blue. Not chequered, as this leads the eye to just focus in on one. Add more domains per page.

    2. When you click a domain, it brings up a little bit of info in the slider area. It took me ages to find this, as that area hadn't been used in my experience so far, and I was expecting the info to be where the domain names were.

    3. Its loading on my screen with a massive footer.

    Otherwise, not bad :)

    I'd put in place some check of the query string, otherwise it's easy to be malicious:

    At least check against a text file or other structured list of the domains you actually own.

    I'm going to make a few assumptions, mostly being that your domains are currently stored in a database then pulled out for the site listings, and you know how to run queries and access the result.

    You can add a simple check when loading the page with a query like

    "select domain from database where domain="$cleansubmitteddomain" LIMIT 1; "

    once this is run and returned, you can use something like

    PHP:
    $num_rows mysql_num_rows($dom);
    if(!
    $num_rows=1){
    //load generic search page, with sorry domain not found error or not
    }else{
    //load current sale page as normal.
    }
    Its a quick dirty fix for the problem :)
