RegisterFly Update March 31

Looks like there are other 30 days left before remaining domains at Registerfly move away or know their fate.

This ICANN's blog update:

 

Ouch this sounds bad. I guess it however give registrants some time to move out of there.

 

all becuase of a greedy man -_-.. so wrong..

 

Agree, people who are in trouble with missing authorization codes will have to wait for longer, even though more domains can be moved away during this extra, painful waiting time

 

Wow!
Now what should we do?
Transfer all our domains?

too much too transfer :|

 

Same problem here :|

However I will try to transfer as many as I can during the extended time, and the less valuable will have to wait the bulk transfer.

By the way, transfer is only $5 for Registerfly customers at MyDomain, and they accept paypal too.

Promo Code: registerflies http://mydomain.com/reginfo.php

 

This blows..... Of course registerfly were going to apeal, they are doing everything they can to keep their accreditation for themselves but they are not doing anything for customers. pffft

 

Hopefully Registerfly does not use this tactic to delay the transfer and allow their customers to suffer even more. If they truly wanted to appeal, they could have done so the first week they got the termination letter. Now the thing is going to probably drag on and on from what I see.

 

No they are working quickly and efficiently as it was always in my own experience for over five years registering domains there.

Missing authorizations codes are delivered between the following 24 hours after your request them and they unlock the domains at the same time (even without asking) if they are locked.

After you place a transfer order elsewhere, it takes about 48 hours to get Registerfly's confirmation email to accept or decline the transfer and once that you accept, your domain is immediately released to your new registrar in no time.

 

Authorization codes should not have been missing in the first place.

 

Yes, but remember that the system was buggy since before the problem arised and later the database got corrupted.

By the way, after they provide you with the authorization codes by support, the corresponding record is fixed in your control panel and you are also able to see the code displayed there again as an extra confirmation.

 

No offence, but its your experience against that of hundreds including my own. I waited over 1 month for them to reset my password.

 

Yes I know many people had big troubles, however I never had a single bad issue that they did not resolve diligently.

Even I got a refund for failed registrations early this year

 

I did as well, when I pointed it out. It's just a shame, I don't have anything of current value or even any domain currently in use with them so it's no big deal for me, just a bit annoying.

 

This is going to cost people $$ for transfers. I wish there was another way.

 

The other way is waiting for ICANN bulk transfer.

I assume they will make an agreement with other registrar to accept our remaining domains with no transfer cost, so you can renew them eventually at their new home...

crossing my fingers for that because I'm trying to transfer as much as I can but I will not be able to move away all at a time in so short period of time due to $$$

 

That would be a hell of a deal. It's almost guaranteed that the domains will get renewed at the new registrar (if not dropped), so it's a win-win.

 

Well, there is nothing to guarantee that by the time renewal time comes those registrants will stay with whoever finally got those domain names if they provide free transfers now then it may still not be a win-win situation. They may just go with the lowest priced registrar out there or someone who they are familiar with.

 

But remember that you can transfer a domain again within the following 60 days, in which the winner registrar can prove its support service, pricing or a number of factors are convenient for the new arrivals.

If my domains fall into a registrar I have never tried before but they fulfill my expectations, I would stay rather than making another transfer away.

In fact the new registrar can win more transfers bearing in mind that some of us have domains registered at Registerfly, but also at Godaddy, Dynadot, Domainsite, etc., and willing to unify them into a great one registrar service for easy management.

 

Your one of the lucky few who haven't had problems then.

This is a deliberate tactic by registerfly to draw out the process for as long as possible, countless numbers of customers are just left waiting and wondering if their domains will ever be transferd, RF are legally oblidged to transfer your domain if you request/authorize it to be transferd and they are not fulfilling their obligation and something must be done.

Something should be done for the customers first, the appeal can be dealt with afterwards, whatever happened to "the customer is always right"?
