RegisterFly is NO MORE!

I just got this email from eNom:

RegisterFly.com doesn't work anymore either. The good news is that any of your RegFly domains are now a bit safer. The bad news is that it will cost you $30 a year to renew them with eNom...

 

transfer them to namecheap.

 

seems like a strange email, registerfly has not been an enom reseller for a while now, it's a registrar by it's own right now.

 

NameCheap> *

 

Wow, I just transfered a rather valuable domain from Regfly to enom to namecheap just a couple of days ago. Best thing I ever did.

 

seems like a few people have had this email, hmm, only got 3 domains left there, suppose i this is as good a time as any to move them out

 

About time.

 

probably the email was sent to people who have old-registerfly domain names registered thru Enom.

 

I have a couple of domains that registered with RegFly but I haven't received such a mail, and RegFly is one of the oldest registrar and iti is not a reseller. I think there is a smpm issue, try querying the IP on the mail heaer info.

 

Yep, I got the same email. Glad to see Enom took some action, Registerfly was taking active steps in keeping my domains there.

 

They USED to be a reseller for Enom before they got accredited themselves. The domains up for renewal currently that were first registered while they were a reseller are the ones having problems. They treat the renewals as a transfer from Enom to Registerfly rather than a renewal. Then they apply their 60 day hold to that domain so you can't transfer out.

 

RegisterFly isn't going anywhere. This is simply a notice for all people who registered their domain(s) while they were an eNom reseller.

If RegisterFly does go anywhere...their executive department will have a lawsuit coming.

 

And I just receive an email saying that Google just bought Yahoo because Yahoo was bankrupt, and I get 1% of the share free because I have an adsense account. I just need to click on the clickmemoron.exe to receive my share...and I'm the Queen of England...

 

I am sure enom is doing this to distance themselves away from registerfly as far as possible in the public eye seeing that registerfly is about to be served a class action lawsuit.

I felt it was coming... but I have all my domains under my own reseller and I get domains for dirt cheap 6.1 for com /net org and 0.75 for info haha

 

From enom.com/migrate/faq (with a bunch more characters, you can get there using the code in the email you received but they are hiding it from their current customers):

7. I noticed on the eNom site that domain registration costs more than RegisterFly. Will I have to pay that new price when I renew my domain name or buy new domains?

As a special courtesy to former RegisterFly customers, your eNom account will be specially coded to match your previous domain name pricing at RegisterFly. You will receive this discounted pricing on domain names as long as you remain an eNom customer.

 

I just got same email and transfered domains to enom. It didn't look like spam to me.
I am happy I left registerfly. Last time they charged my credit card for domain name renewal and didn't renew it.

 

They did much more than that to me

I think that this will be a major shift in the ongoing legal threats against RegisterFly.

 

An Enom Manager posted at WHT that:"As long as that domain stays in the eNom account you created for the migration, the renewal will be $9.99 for com/net/org (.info is $7.99)".

 

I think its been less than year. When they became a registrar they did not automatically get the domains in their old reseller account. They stay there until renewal time. Much of RegFly's problems have been in trying to move domains at renewal from Enom's proven domain management system to RegFly's new buggy system.
