Anybody with experience with Registerfly

***ian*** · 02-21-2007, 08:31 AM

I never liked using registerfly after an early problem many years ago which was never resolved. But that US$160 charge definitely sounds like a fee to get a domain out of redemption period. In any case, I am glad that they have sorted out their problem.

I never had any dealings with them before picking up a reseller account with our domain name registrar. I always used directnic for everything. People don't want to pay that price when they can get something for a lower price but you can't beat their support and the fact that you truly have complete control over your domains. I'd recommend our registrar but they are not set up for private accounts as yet, only resellers. I hope they will do that in the future. If so, I'll start recommending them as well.

Stephanie--

Was your client able to regain control of the domain through enom?
I sure hope so.
It does cost a little more (not much more), but when you factor in the support, plus the other services and add-ons - it's worth it - to me anyway. I still get chills remembering back when good ole 'NetSol' was the only game in town, and it was $35 per year.

Yes she did regain control of it and is presently working on the other ones she owns.

OMG...NetSol... I almost forgot about them in this mess... they are the biggest ripoff on the net in spite of the mess coming from the topic of this thread. the sad thing is there are people still using them.

I'm glad to hear it. Good ole enom to the rescue

My apologies for dredging up old painful memories

Like you said - as bad as it is - it could be worse - you could be dealing with Netsol.

that was towards the end of their reign. when i registered my first domain name they only offered 2 year registrations at a cost of $75 USD. god know how much money i gave to netsol over the years before their monopoly was brought to a halt. after that i started using dotster.com and never had a problem. they offer fair pricing and good service IMO.

anyways, glad to hear you got the situation sorted out steph.

Yeah dotster are good as well, I used them a lot when their namewinner service was still up and running.

I'll keep all these in mind if she continues to have problems. At least they will give her some choices, right?

ICANN accuses Registerfly of willfully refusing to comply with an accreditation audit as mandated in its Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). Registerfly's failure to fulfill the most fundamental obligations of its RAA appears to have forced ICANN's hand; the harshly worded letter lambasts Registerfly for its failure to allow ICANN's auditor to copy Registerfly's registration data, and gives notice to Registerfly of ICANN's intention to file suit against it in federal court on Tuesday, March 6.

Yeah I came across a similar article on registerfly being sued, and I thought to myself, about time some justice should finally be served. Good luck to icann.
