Anyway, Allan is right. It looks like another new.net clone:

Hell no! I was just a bit confused as to how this guy will actually pull off something like that without special plug-ins. I don't see any plug--ins available.

I can see only the home page; none of the subpages load for me.

The wording on their site - "Secure the legal name rights in your www.name.surname" and "PRE-REGISTER" - could mean that all they are selling is a procedure to document a claim on the surname being used as a TLD/extension. It sounds strange, as this would be like trying to trademark SEX.COM before the Postel invented the DNS.

EDIT: now none of the pages work. Maybe before "SURNAME.biz unlocks these upcoming options first-time", SURNAME.biz needs to unlock the secret to stable webhosting first.
