Registerfly files suit, can't cover registry fees

I've heard a few complaints of non-renewal throught Registerfly even after paying the fee, and there are many threads about various Registerfly problems right now.
The Register seems to have found out why:

Seems that the allegation is the former CEO was partying it up and ran the corporate coffers dry.

 

Total sucks man. I have no idea what to do with my domains...Several of them are about to expire soon.

 

It is gonna be a huge problem, that is what you get when you go cheap. We all just blindly trust that our domains are safe...

 

Transfer them to another registrar.

 

That is the problem. Registryfly won't give Auth codes. In the past year over 75,000 domains have expired and been lost.

 

Yep.

They ignored me until mine expired, then played dumb.

Screw them and their crappy customer service. Hope the CEO gets syphilis.

 

I bought a domain name off ebay that was with registerfly and it expires in a few days on the 3-2-07! and I cant get my Auth code!
should i renew it with them? I already paid godaddy for the transfer!
I called thier tech support and i couldnt understand much of anything he was saying! other than "panel down call 24!"
I dont know what to do! Im a lil angry!?!

 

Find auth (EPP) code at Registerfly:

First of all, remove the Whois protection

Click on "Manage Domains"
Click on the domain you want to transfer
Click the + at the end of the "Domain Contact Info"
Click configure
Scroll waaay down and look on the left

 

Thanks for the tip on finding the auth code !

 

Sorry to hear you guys are having problems with RegisterFly. It now sounds really serious.
Hope you won't lose your domains, lots of people seem to be affected by the situation..

 

If some of you are still having problems obtaining the EPP codes and have no
luck with Registerfly's support after about 1-2 weeks, contact Mark Klein at
markATregisterflyDOTcom. Be sure to provide specifics, but give him time to
reply.

 

Dave, you have just killed Mr. Klein's email box.
It is a matter of time till all those having troubles with this regiastrar will get to read your post
Anyway, good luck! I would not be happy if I were in your shoes..

 

xtra thanks for that info!

Congratulations! The transfer request for the following domain name(s) has been completed
so i guess its safe to say its done!

dotster.com also gives you transfer from registerfly for $5, thats very good.

Enter the coupon code, " registerflies " in the coupon code field.

 

Question - Did any of you guys had to pay for the transfer at regfly? I paid at my new registrar...yet regfly wants me to pay again..

 

Pay again for what? Transferring the domains?

 

I think it's for the transfer. Some registrars charge to transfer domains away, that's how I gave up on about 5 domains of mine

 

Yes for the transfer.

 

So anyone here paid twice? for the transfer and then at the new registrar?

 

Not from Registerfly - that's outrageous.
