    Just an email to old domains registered while Regfly was still a reseller.

    Like someone else said above, Registerfly isn't going anywhere, with all the publicity over the years (negative or positive, publicity is publicity) they aren't gonna trash themselves so easy.

    Let the torment restart

    I keep getting RegisterFly advertising emails, and never actually felt like willing to buy anything from them. With the ongoing offers we receive from GoDaddy including 1,99$ domain names and all, I see no point in mentioning services like eNom anymore.. GD has simply crashed the domain reselling business.

    At this point I am struggling to get a domain configured with DomainSite. Although its control panel seems pretty straight forward to work with, I can't get control of my domain. DNS not updating for hours and hours. At GoDaddy it took me half an hour at most with an additional ipconfig -flushdns shot to get it updated. Sadly I can't transfer my domain away.

    Agree, that email sounds really strange and maybe a tactic to get people paying $30 a year because I can see Registerfly working and just got a couple of domains registered today with no problem and any notice regarding end of operations.

    By the way, Registerfly was an eNom registrar by July 2005, when he became iCann registrar service until today.

    Don't you find the requirement to plow through page after page of marketing upsell pages before you can get anything done just a little annoying?

    I do. I did, actually. Now I got used to that.

    Price doesn't change if I click on the right links, and I am versed in running through those "junk" pages fast and get my domains registered at prices that beat all without adding any "extra value" to the bill.

    I couldn't see any way to make my existing reseller account "see" the new messages so I created a new one. I guess I will know in the morning how that works. My thought was I could always push them to my old account.

    Personally I like to skip all of those ads when I register with godaddy. To each their own.

    hi, do you have a link for that please. In regfly's email they say they've been a registrar since feb 2006


    on the other side of the coin, i'm pretty sure enom has some other motives as they were bought out and am sure the new owners weren't to happy about them losing millions of domains to regfly!

    It's not a tactic to get $30. Since I had a domain with regfly but registered with enom, I got them to transfer it to my enom account and it cost me nothing. I then quickly transfered it to namecheap. If you have a domain under enom stuck with regfly, and you want out, this is quite a good way to go.

    Edit, just got this email:

    If you got an email, you will get a link.

    The links are personalized to your domain.

    This morning the 14 domains showed up in the new enom account I created for them. However, when I tried to push them to my old enom account I got a message that only one push per seven days is allowed.

    So I guess i wait a week and see if I can push them then.

    They suck, plain and simple.

    I sent a trouble ticket last night, to which they responded: "We apologized [sic] for your troubles. Please generate a trouble ticket and...."

    WTF. Morons.

    It Seems that Registerfly Domains are in trouble - I want to share this with all of you to warn you to take action to save your domains
    Here is a copy of the email Enom.com sent me

    Dear david xxxxxxx:

    This is a formal notice to owners of domains which have been registered through eNom via
    its reseller, RegisterFly.com.

    YOU MUST TAKE ACTION NOW TO RETAIN FULL MANAGEMENT RIGHTS TO YOUR DOMAIN NAME.

    Although you purchased your name at RegisterFly, eNom is the actual registrar of record
    for your domains. As we are severing our relationship with RegisterFly, we are aware that
    this may have an impact on you as the domain owner.
    Therefore we would like to offer this opportunity to assist you in securing control of
    your domain name directly with eNom.

    Over the last year, eNom has become aware of an increasing number of complaints from
    dissatisfied RegisterFly customers.

    As an eNom reseller, RegisterFly is contractually bound to adhere to certain standards of
    customer service in a speedy and diligent manner. Therefore, effective immediately, we
    have terminated RegisterFly as a reseller of domain names through eNom.

    Our records indicate that you are the registrant contact for 1480 domains.

    HOW TO SECURE CONTROL OF YOUR DOMAIN NAMES

    Create a free account at eNom using the link below. Your domain names will automatically
    be moved to the eNom control panel where you will immediately have the ability to manage
    your domain(s).
    In addition, these domains will receive a discounted renewal rate.

    http://www.enom.com/migrate/migrate.asp?Regkey=272D191E-7B36-4058-ACA8-F45BE40EA4B7

    There is no charge for this service, as eNom is already the registrar of record for your
    domains. Please reference our list of frequently asked questions page http://www.enom.com/
    migrate/faq.asp
    for additional information.
    We look forward to helping you feel more secure about your domain management.

    eNom, Inc.

    former registrar for RegisterFly.com

    If you didn't get the mail then it means, the domain you registered wasn't via the enom reseller. Registerfly has two types of domain registration policies. One via e-nom reseller and the other one is via direct ICANN. And as your domain registered via ICANN thats why you didn't receive the domain :)

    And the name of the topic should changed. It doesn't mean Registerfly No more. It is still available and will be available, only enom is no more the basic registrar of registerfly, they are now totally accredated. :) And definitely now the price will be more less then before.

    Regards
