Hi, a few notes

- generally speaking, I agree that's a useful service. Users should be able to set up not only "coming soon" pages, but also little "corporate websites" the can be online before the designers prepare the final corporate site

- when I log in, if I click on "Account" I see a blank page

- Is it already possible to create a "coming soon" page? I don't see this functionality clearly accessible, I see only the Verification functionality. When I log in, the first thing I want to learn is how easy is to set up my customised landing page.

- Please don't use your Twitter account to send only advertisement. As a Twitter user, I find that very annoying, and usually end up blocking users that do that

Thanks for the feedback fdiotalevi.

I've fixed the account link. You might need to refresh but it will work correctly now.

All you have to do to create a coming soon page is point the DNS of your site to the duringconstruction.com web server. A site will be automatically created the first time somebody visits the site. To just get one up and running that's all you need to do. After that you can verify the domain and edit the defaults.

I completely agree on the Twitter account. I'm planning on using it for communication with users, but right now there are very few users. :) Naturally I'm hoping that changes and I've only communicated with users so far that have tweeted about buying new domains and they've all been done by hand.

Thanks again for the feedback.
