"Today’s registrars compete on price. nameptr.com’s goal will not be to compete on price, but on the user’s experience."

This won't work. You either have to charge more than people will be willing to pay or sell them things they need (or don't need). You can't make money doing what you are doing.

Not to impugn your advice, but coming from the competition, I'd take it with a large dose of salt.

It's just a fact about the industry - I can confirm having previously worked for a domain registration company. Low margin business as end users compare on price (e.g. when looking for "domain" on Google) - features (mostly) don't matter.
