    The design is simple, looks nice, but you could add a little more flair to it.
    You could use some more tools, from what I've seen you have pr checkers, whois checker and expired domains checker.
    You could add some backlinks checker, maybe also an alexa rank checker, etc.
    Search the web, there are free scripts or code snippets for all these.

    Hope I could be of some help.

    Hey Neverstudy,

    Design
    I like the logo and think it is a good start to the design. Your simple approach to the layout is good, nice and simple and to the point.

    Your site does look somewhat unfinished in places, e.g. the contact us form needs aligning. I do not like the "new" banner on the homepage. In summary, I feel you need a few more design additions.

    Features
    Your tools work well and are quick. There is a sense of them being unfinished, as there is minimal copy/instructions. Your deleted domains tool is particularly interesting, although the lack of instruction/explanation will put people off. Giving some advice will help - I for example know nothing about back ordering domains and would not have gone through to purchase any of the expiring domains for that reason.

    Content
    Lacking a bit in content. Could do with more information on the home page, on each feature, on the contact page and on the links page.


    Monetising
    The yahoo ads are not greatly placed and blend into your design too much. I am quite ad blind so I wouldn't have clicked anyway, but I would recommend putting some ads in your copy and at the end of your page (when people would normally leave, give them an ad to click). Make sure you are taking advantage of your applications - for example, can you affiliate with domain registration?


    Overall a nice little site and I hope to see you keep working on it to improve it. I would recommend putting a bit more work into it before actively advertising, seo'ing, linking etc.

    Best of Luck! :)
