I transfered three domains from registerfly to dotster AFTER they was expired. I initiated the transfer at the very day of expire though. Dotster was helpful. And I think that ICANN will give special permissions in many directions when it comes to that someone should not lose their domain. Remember ICANN is partly responsible for the mess. You could try to contact ICANN. Or ENOM that probably will get all the Registerfly domains soon.
I have 40 domains registered with registerfly right now, and they are expiring by the day. RF doesn't answer emails, support tickets, and all of their phone numbers are dsconnected. I am trying to initiate transfers but don't know how I can get auth codes without even being able to contact them. These domains are my sole source of income, and if I lose them all I am up shit creek. What is going to happen to all of these RF domains, and when? Also, how can I get auth codes?
Why do you have to wait till it expired before you consider initiating the transfer ? On a typical registrar, the away domain name registrar would not permit it if it is cutting so close and besides transferring it anytime before that time will tag 12 months to the expiration date and you do not forfeit anything anyways.
Are they expiring today ? Read my story. Its not to late. there is written somewhere here at DP how to find the auth codes, you need to log into your account. go to domain details, contact address or something like that, then you will find the at the bottom of the page with your contacts. Transfer them to dotster.com for $5 using a coupon code.
Thanks for the help, some expired (but still point to my nameservers and show my contact info), but the ones I am most worried about have not expired. I paid registerfly for renewals which never happened. This whole thing is a huge clusterfuck. I'm transferring to GoDaddy
Ok, the method of getting auth code you suggested worked. Thanks a ton. The way I did it was log in, go to manage domains, and configure my contact information... It was all the way at the bottom of that page. This may work on expired domains, but I haven't tried yet.
You should have been careful, I don't know if you were aware of the turn of events at RegisterFly. Ofcourse transferring the domains would cost your money. But they add up another year of validity and you make them safe. If think they might not be useful at all, then just forget them. Just take the ones you have plans on.
That's what I'm personally planning on doing... I'll transfer my 10-15 necessary domains, let the rest expire, and just pick them up at a later date if they're still available. Btw, I got the auth code on registerfly, and entered it on godaddy... Now the transfer is awaiting approval by registerfly. Will this go through in an ample amount of time? Registerfly's phone numbers being disconnected concerns me...
If you cannot unllock and disable you can`t transfer. But why can`t you do that ? It will take time...
Some domains are locked, when I try to unlock them with registerfly, they stay locked. Also, some have protectfly enabled, and will not let me disable it. Not all are like this though, some are unlocked and some that are locked will let me unlock. The funny thing is that I never locked any of my domains, so I don't know why they are locked. I shot an email to , who I hear has helped other people.
Ok......a lot of my other friends also had domains on registerfly, we have made a plan that we will sue registerfly together. Will that help? I think so... Let me remind you guys. This is not the first time, i also lost hundreds of dollars at stormpay. Why does this kind of stuff happen to me..................

Its best not to consider only cheap price when it comes to registering domins. You need to heed to other importnat considerations to make sure there are no problems in the future.
Thanks for the useful link. In the page, it mentions Anyone has any clue on when it will be available again? As bulk transfer without fee will surely help a lot of domain owners that has domains with RF.
