I am typically very lenient guy, but in this case I would say this is complete fail. What Simple is trying to do is extrapolate the problems people have with bank - e.g. overdraft fees, evil sequencing of transactions etc and market service based on it - whereas they have their own list of shortcomings and (as of now) lack of ability to be a real alternative to be a Bank.

I have been long time user of 1and1 for domains. Their initial product offering is always sweet (free, 1$ domains) etc. Their renew rates are not bad as well.

But the place where I hated them most was NS change propogation, it took 24 hours to get that done.

Also their admin panel is awfully slow.

If you guys don't already know it, here are some of the links to help

To transfer/cancel domains you must go through : http://cancel.1and1.com

A good exercise, but nothing beyond that. Too many factors based on assumption. Also repeat visitors tend to skip continued the check-ins after the novelty of it wears down (unless there are extremely good reward offers associated with number of check-ins).
