All insurance companies work the same way, try hard to get a new customer, milk them dry on the tail end because they are too lazy to search out a better deal.

These are solved problems (by frameworks) and decent developers should be spending time on better things.

The results links open with a js popup - would a regular link be better? just my concern is you'd navigate away from the search results if you left-clicked.
As for the .co - I can't afford a nice short .com right now, just need some funding to buy the .com!

Like the idea but strikes me it will be hard for a lot of companies to give custom deals without rewriting their backend. And even if you do give custom deals - how do you align the deal asker's twitter account to their account on your site (assuming not everyone has super zeitgeisty social logins)?

I agree GD hosting is horrible but and shouldn't be used for anything but buying domains. With the flotilla of discount codes available you can almost always get your renewals/new domains very cheap at GD.
