    If you believe more to some forums instead of regfly itself, then yes it's closing, as they wish so.

    It's like a person somewhere in your city saying to you: your flat is sold, move away, mate! Would you move ? :)

    Yeah,they are the worst registrar I've ever seen!!
    Anyways,the domains over there were cheap,the people who registered domains there paid for a lesson,at least.

    ditto, godaddy has them much cheaper. .com domains ain't cheap there.

    I dunno what's up with them, their site is fine and functioning frommy US server. Ahh, now I can access it as well. (just checked it)

    Hmm Richie I don't know. Guess people are having huge problems ... they only took 1,4$ from me not registering 2 .info domains so damage is not so big at the moment here. We will see what will happen with them...
    Anyway I was able to transfer domains I make money with and left couple of dozens that are bringing small amount of money there. As I see it even if I eventually have to transfer all domains away I get transfer for 7.99 and extra year of domain registration with dynadot so no real if I registered with regfly or any other company at that time ...

    If you guys are serious about you business,you better get rid of that registrar.
    I myself haven't used their service simply because they didn't accept PAYPAL when I wanted to use their service.I'm feeling lucky now!:)
    But I've heard tons of complaints and negative feedbacks about that company...
    Personally I mainly use namecheap.com.

    I don't get what happened? Even after reading here:

    https://registerfly.com/official-announcement.html

    Can anyone tell here what happened to them?? Just because they transferred their own name and the site was down, eveyone is saying they are going to close, having 900K customers??

    Smaaz, I don't care what they have and don't like rumors, for 3 years I was with them and I will be. Same thing with paypalsucks, but everyone still using paypal.

    Anyways, this thread is going on and going on, the site is up now, thanks all for the participation, let's move on to different subject.

    This is for the flamer that red rep'd me for no reason in this thread

    http://www.namepros.com/industry-news/302588-official-registerfly-announcement.html

    There are several threads @NP stating that you shouldn't hold your domains at RF !
    I was just trying to help, and I get rep'd.. some realy winners here huh, and they don't even have the balls to sign it,, thats okay.. I can tell who it was by looking at this thread ;)

    ps. I don't think it was the person quoting me either.

    Loco.M, what are you talking about? If you point at me, then I can say that I never care about this rep thing here, I dunno even know what is it for and don't want to know.

    As for the oficial statement, I believe them, cause when I logged in, that domain I renewed is fine and shows 2008 expiry date, so it's definitely their website's error.

    na, i wasn't pointing anything at you nfs :)

    all I know is this ( and I don't use RF, so I've never paid attention ) there are several threads at NP about RF closing, or not doing well.

    You don't use it and yet you are being smartass as always ;)

    I don't see they are closing themselves down. As I see it they are trying to get things sorted out....

    Guess some people who have absolutely no experience whatsoever with something are being the smartest one to trash around and represent themselves as some sort of reference for all the rest of us telling us to run away. It kind of reminds me of all those people that never drove some car but just "heard" it is bad .... tells a lot about them ...

    and when did I claim to be an authority in RF ? guess you can read some hidden text I posted huh ?

    As I Did state, I was just trying to help, if you don't want to see what I say, vBulletin has a feature that you can ignore me.. go ahead and hit it, cuz I'll be ignoring you ;)

    btw, thanks for the red rep, next time grow some balls and sign it :D

    hmmm, anyone called them? I am calling them (973-404-8430), and after waiting a bit it goes to a Toll Free Directory Assistance, is this a bad sign for me?

    This is old news sound like you are expert in the field since you are talking like "oh yea I knew that while you all live in dark and blinded"

    I didn't hear registerfly saying they are closing..did you ? Oh oh people on namepros said it :D

    Where are you getting at with this ignore thing now. Don't quite understand some people heh. And please don't just assume for reds ... lots of people here you know ;) It is shame I repped you and have to spread reps a little before I can give one to you again.
