RegisterFly.com Domain Owners

[ManagerJosh]

If you bought domains from RegisterFly.com, my PERSONAL advice is to flee and run for your lives from it. It's gonna implode on itself!

registerflies.com

BAH! Stupid URL post limit!!!!!!

[Henrik]

Well, the whole registerfly-story seem to have started with a love-affair gone sour - so for starters; Never mix involve your lover(s) into your business-ventures.

As far as registerflies.com - I think the site itself is a good place to get information on the current status on RegisterFly and what ICANN is (not) doing to help domain-owners/leasers.

What is a tad appalling is the businesses trying to benefit from this horrid event.

Is anyone still using their services ? :D

[Henrik]

Hopefully not :)

[ManagerJosh]

Used them once and left.

[Henrik]

They conned me of some money due to a faulty confirmation process (drew money but registered no domains) and they seem to have gone "lost" now when I want my money back. Not much money, but their handling of my refund-errand was absurd. If I ever see these names in the future I'll pull back from anything having to do with these two gents.

If you paid by credit card, I'd suggest getting a chargeback issued on them :-X.

That or complaint to Mike Zupke over at ICANN for undelievered goods.

Trying Trying... :confused:

How about also putting a complaint at the Better Business Bureau ( bbb.com ) ?
That might get their attention faster ( it they're listed ,and care about their business rating that is).

First of all; I'm not a citizen of the USA. Second; I doubt they care.

ICANN has now removed Registerfly's accreditation - link (http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-16mar07.htm).

I don't know if it's allowed to write about competitors in here, though Dreamhost are offering free hosting+transfer/renewal for ex-Registryfly customers. Link (http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2007/03/18/free-dreamhost-hosting-plan-for-registerfly-refugees/)

Moving from one oversold provider to the other... :rolleyes:

Yeah,I also don't recommend Dreamhost. They oversell , have bad customer support and lots of downtime. Just look at general feedback from customers around the Internet,and you'll see what I mean. ;)

[Henrik]

Of course they're oversold, but I won't go into a debate about "over-selling", as it would soon become "the special olympics".

All I'll say on that topic is that basically every business model rely on "over-selling".

Dreamhost is still an "ok" provider, totally adequate for personal webpages and/or backups, for example.

Ciao ;)

[ManagerJosh]

Forget Dreamhost. It's all about Steadfast :D

[Henrik]

Dreamhost and Steadfast don't cater to the same clientele boyo ;) But yeah, for a business-grade webhosting services (of any kind I'd say); Steadfast is superior to Dreamhost.
