i need dns

For example, you can send some of your domain traffic to a specific server or modify your MX records to change the mail server(s) that manage all incoming email messages addressed to your domain name.

Man,This sucks! I was having no problems with RegisterFly.com til this. Thank God, I also have a GoDaddy.com account which also been going great. Hope my transfer goes ok. Here we go...

cool site!!! A ++++. Thanks for the info.

Your the man Bob!

Bob,

I have some expired domains I was trying to renew with Registerfly, could their be a possibility to have them some how trasnfered to you guys and renewed?

Also I have a question
——
I didn't know any of this stuff was going on, seeing as they didnt notify their customers and I had a new client, registered a domain for him and i never got thedomain, but it says my account balance is like $11.24 with register fly, how do you say I about getting my balance back into my actual bank account so I can completely leave them for you?

Anyway,
Until then.

Thanks!

HI,
It's highly appreciated your offer.
I saw it after made my transfers in a rush.
Maybe that’s why GD billed me $14.34 each .com, and $16.42 .org domains.

TIP FOR OTHER REGISTERFLYERS:

* AUHTENTICATION CODES *

You can have the Auth Codes for transfers directly on the Registerfly site, no ask anybody for them.

10. After authorizing the transfer, you will be asked the domain's Authorization Code. Now this is tricky. Normally, you will have to request this from RegisterFly, but there's a way to get this without having to contact them. Access "Manage Domains" in your RegisterFly.com account, click the appropriate domain and go to "Domain Contact Information". Click "Configure". At the very bottom, right below "Billing Information", is… voila! your Authorization Code. Copy and put this in the "Authorization Code" field in GoDaddy.

Good luck

Hi Bob,

First of all, thanks for offering lower-rates transfers for RegisterFly ex-customers. I was one of those who has made use of that offer.

I wonder, would you personally care to leave a comment at ICANN blog (blog.icann.org)?

The reason you could do that: now that RegisterFly ahs lost its accreditation, all the domains it held will be transferred elsewhere if the customers won't manage to choose themselves.

Could GoDaddy be interested in acquiring the main bulk of the RegisterFly-registered domain names? if yes, on what terms?

Thank you.

how are any of these comments remotely close to having anything to do with the registerfly scams lol i do agree godaddy is great. love the features. but this is a blog a damn good one too lets keep it that way it should be obvious by now that godaddy is godaddy for a reason.

I've moved about 40 names from RF to GoDaddy - have about 40 more to go... most don't expire for awhile... These are names I register for clients... I don't bill them until their expiration. This puts a financial burden on me to transfer names that do not need an extra year added at this time.

Would be nice if GoDaddy offered free transfers - no extra year added... you will eventually get the renewal business.

If you really want to help, offer RF customers free transfers (no 1 year added)... what do you say?

This is a good thing for Go Daddy to do. Good for business, yes, but also a real stand up move. We decided to go with Go Daddy when beginning our Domain adventures for a variety of reasons. The main one was on the basis of observing an interview with Bob Parsons. He really impressed us a not only a go getter of a business man, but as having a very high set of standards for himself and his company. So far, we have not been disappointed and Go Daddy's moves on this RegisterFly fiasco give us continued confidence we made the right choice.
p.s. Go Daddy's customer service and tech support is second to none. Keep it up!

It is truely amazing to me that any reasonable person would register and maintain their url's anywhere else but Godaddy.com but hey, life is full of some very cruel lessons. I hope that those people with their domains stuck in limbo are able to recover and get back to business as usual. Best of luck. BB

Here's what I have to say, Bob Parsons is one of the finest examples of what America stands for...the ability to suceed with a great idea and hard work. I've seen him on TV and loved every moment of the interviews. I'd love the chance to meet him in person...I attend most of the major bike week events...maybe I'll see him some time. In addition, his company is extremely customer service oriented and I am very thankful I decided to do business with them first and not one of the other companies (registerfly) that are no in BIG trouble. Keep up the phenominal work...and I hope to meet you in person some day!!

Termination of RegisterFly.com Registrar Accreditation Agreement

16 March 2007

ICANN today issued a formal notice of termination of RegisterFly.com's Registration Accreditation Agreement (RAA).

ICANN has issued a letter to RegisterFly [PDF, 902K] indicating that it will cease operating as an ICANN-Accredited Registrar on March 31, 2007. Under the terms of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), ICANN must provide 15 days written notice to RegisterFly of its intention to terminate.

Effective immediately ICANN has terminated RegisterFly's right to use the ICANN Accredited Registrar logo on its website.

Between now and 31 March RegisterFly is required to unlock and provide all necessary Authinfo codes to allow domain name transfers to occur. Any and all registrants wishing to transfer away from RegisterFly during this period should be allowed to do so efficiently and expeditiously.

"Terminating accreditation is the strongest measure ICANN is able to take against RegisterFly under its powers," Dr. Paul Twomey, President and CEO of ICANN said today.

"ICANN has been frustrated and distressed by recent management confusion inside RegisterFly," Dr. Twomey, President said. "I completely understand the greater frustration and enormous difficulty that this has created for registrants."

When the Agreement is terminated, ICANN can approve a bulk transfer of all current RegisterFly domain names to another ICANN accredited Registrar.

"Of course, RegisterFly does not have to wait till then. They can request ICANN to approve a bulk transfer immediately. I call on RegisterFly to act in the interests of registrants and seek such a transfer from us straight away," Dr. Twomey said.

ICANN intends to hold a forum to discuss the reform of the Accreditation policy and process at its Lisbon meeting in a week's time.

A set of questions and points to inform the discussion will be made public prior to the Lisbon meeting.

The Lisbon meeting is one of three meetings held a year by ICANN to meet with global stakeholders. It will take place from 26-30 March 2007.

Now that ICANN has terminated Registerfly's certification, the question becomes who will step up to the plate and help those of us that have hundreds of domains that are still there.

We had NO PROBLEM with ENOM or GoDaddy so far. In fact, GoDaddy's interface was a big plus for many of my clients. GoDaddy's customer service and interface are excellent. (No kissing up ... just the facts).

500 + domains at $6.50 is still a big investment, considering many of us have invested thousands of dollars in time and lost business.

I suggest you give some thought to NOT extending expirations for bulk Go Daddy accounts (We have two) and assume the domain names for a nominal fee.

In all honestly, we would prefer to 'go with GoDaddy' but convincing many clients to spend more $$ is becoming very difficult.

Thanks

BOB thanks - and i hope we had a Net Positive Influence on this and ongoing outcomes regarding Registerfly.

I recently ended my RegisterFly nightmare. A few months back they couldn't guarantee the renewal of a web address key to my business and future. After being verbally abused on the phone I involved my lawyer. Only then did I get my renewal fast-tracked. I can only imagine how many people without my resources were screwed over.

A month ago, not knowing of this current drama, I decided to transfer my domain to GoDaddy.com. First off, due to technical problems that no one could explain and had extisted for 8 Days (8 Days!!!) I couldn't. Hours spent on the phone with their recently moved to India customer support yielded little help. After persisting for two weeks I got the domain cleared and unlocked. Not one hour after I was cleared and filed with GoDaddy did a rep from GoDaddy call me on the phone to let me know where I stood and what to look for. That is great customer service.

I recommend everyone to get away from Registerfly. Forget personal allegations, they are a crummy company with poor support. I have not had any anxiety over my web domains or business interests since getting them out of my life.

Go Daddy has been great and has helped loads with the Registerfly nightmare. I have more news about this garbage. Enom (www.enom.com) who is the real registrar (Registerfly is just a reseller), pushed some of my trapped domains to their site. I had renewed the domains in Registerfly months ago, but as the article above stated, the registrations went into the pockets of the Kevin Medina and my domains were left as "expired". I renewed the domains several times and Registerfly very quickly debited my charge account but never updated their info.

Now, Enom has the domains and tells me that because they have exceeded the 29 day grace period, I have to pay $160 per domain to get them back!!! I sent proof (screen shots) of my transactions per their request, but Enom now will only accept and email notification from Registerfly. Well that's just GREAT! Who keeps emails like that forever? I renewed the domains, it supposedly went through ok and everything was fine until Registerfly began its meltdown.

Enom insists that the only way to get the domains back is to pay them handsomely. Well I was able to negotiate them down to $50 for one critical domain, but still, its highway robbery!

Enom made it clear to me they were going to hold onto the domains forever and I would have to pay their ransom, err fees, in order to get them back. They also threatened that they may NEVER release the domains. I am pretty sure this is not possible, so the mere threat is just another attempt to strong arm more money from me.

Now, I might be naive or plain dumb, but what the hell does Enom want with domain that has nothing to do with them and just so happens to be the trademark name of my business? I am incorporated under that name!!!! I might be wrong, but I do believe "domain squatting" was made illegal and that the Attorney General's office prosecutes domain squatting.

It seems to me, Enom is collecting up the domains Registerfly is losing and using all sorts of unethical tactics to squeeze more money out of desperate customers. I suggest anyone who is in this situation file a complaint with ICANN and the Attorney General's office. If you have a domain name that is your business name or is a trademark name and Enom is holding it for ransom, you can fight it and they can be prosecuted for domain squatting.

This is not just about Registerfly any more. The you-know-what is now rolling downhill and Enom is doing no better than Registerfly is.

Got the authorization code problem with RegisterFly figured out — thanks to another registrar that also helped out. However, you guys at GoDaddy have been great and I appreciate the chief (Bob) maintaining a rapport with customers through this blog — nice touch — so I'll be moving half my domain portfolio over here for a while and check out your other offerings.

Thanks for the chat tonight, great show.

Bob,
Okay so thanks for the fill-in on RF, but I have to agree that Enom is an issue as well. I attempted the transfer to GoDaddy. It declined. I called your team. They said they can't help me until Enom fixes my whois etc. Enom had me fax paperwork to them to PUSH my site from RF to them 4 days ago. Still, no pushing, no whois repair, no way for me to get my site back online. Yeah, I am one of those whose renewal wasn't processed. so my site and e-mail have been down for weeks...losing money with every second that goes by.
The upshot is GoDaddy called yesterday to thank me for my purchase and see if things were good. I told them the sad sad story and again heard, sorry, you have to get Enom to do their part first. While I thought the call was a nice touch of the genuine customer service provided by GoDaddy, it's too bad there isn't a way to bypass the secondary culprit in all this: Enom.

Since it'll be March 14th in about 15 minutes or so, I wonder of registerfly ever did what icann wanted.

I'd me more interested if ICANN actually DOES pull their accreditation. Now, THAT would be news.

Your attention and help with the RegisterFly debacle is great — and good business. This whole situation has put a light on a bigger problem, however — the ICANN set-up. This is certainly a broader subject beyond the RegisterFly soap opera. My problem now is that RegisterFly is not providing the authorization codes in nearly half of my domain names (I only have about 40). So my attempt to transfer my names to GoDaddy have failed. Of course, RegisterFly is not responding to any emails or calls. What can I do about this authorization code thing?

Thanks,
Rafael

semper fi

says it all

Horror stories like this make me realize how thankful I am to have Go Daddy as my trusted service provider.

Mr. Parsons and Go Daddy, I thank you so much for having consistently exceeded my expectations for the last 5 years!

To those who are considering Go Daddy, have no fear. You will be treated like a king!

A Go Daddy Customer 4 Life!

I have gone through your site its great and good information to viewers . and i found many interesting things in your site.

Bob,

You're folks have been great - I moved most of my stuff last week and am hoping the rest will go through. It's been a nightmare, but I am loyal to you and your team now.

AU

I just want to say also that I heard about Go Daddy by word-of-mouth because I was looking for a service that wasn't going to "squat" my domain name as soon as I plugged it into their search engine.

I will never use another service as long as your company maintains this level of integrity and fair pricing, and I recommend Go Daddy to everyone looking to register a domain. A few folks have already used you guys on my suggestion.

I myself will be starting two new web projects in the very near future and will likely register several domain names with you.

Thank you for picking up the slack where others have failed.

Bob, your my hero!

Dear Sir,
I can't login into my RF account for several days..... nobody is hearing us??

Bob,

45 days I renewed a domain with Registerfly. So really the Renewal was a transfer from Enom to Registerfly.

I've tried to transfer the domain to GoDaddy, but - of course - it failed, because the domain is locked for 60 days.

Can I do something to get the domain earlier to GoDaddy or must I wait the next 15 days and re-initiate the transfer after?
