RegisterFly Still Getting Hit

Tags: , , , , , ,

RegisterFly folks, I have an offer for you - but I will leave that for last.

You know you are in a bad spot when you are a domain name register and your Web site is down for any period of time. That is almost as bad as visiting a Web host, seeing it down, and then once it comes back up have a big “99.9% Uptime” logo flashing in your face.

If you want to hear some of my thoughts on what RegisterFly has gone through thus far, I would check out the Web Hosting Show from two weeks ago. The latest ‘bit of news to happen in their recent streak of bad luck is going offline for a little while. You can read all about the technical details at Netcraft. I am not sure if I feel more sorry for the RegisterFly company or the customers of RegisterFly.

Once source of news on this story I have been surprised by is ICANN. I never even knew they had a blog till somebody from the ICANN organization left me a comment yesterday via WebHostingShow.com. It is bookmarked, and is now one of my best friends when it comes to tracking all this RegisterFly trouble.

If anybody from RegisterFly’s side of things wants to have their side of the story told, I am offering you an open spot to do it on the Web Hosting Show podcast - the number one hosting podcast out there today. There is an open door for them to send me any audio statement they wish to send and I will play it for the world to hear. Now the only question is, will they take me up on it?

Ah, it just so happens I am a registerfly customer, and am currently battling to get control of my domains back.

I’ve no clue what the future holds for them however. They could all be lost for good :)

Oh man Crystal, sorry to hear you got caught up in all of this mess. Got to say I have never seen anything this bad - hopefully though all will work out and nobody will get their domain names dropped.

Well, I do check to see whether they’ve been unlocked on a daily basis. And I read in the CEO of GoDaddy’s blog that if you attempt to transfer with GoDaddy, they will work with ICANN to get your domains back and under their name.

Though I’ve had a lot of people tell me bad things about GoDaddy too, anything is better than the current situation at this point.

By the way, I ran across this link this morning that I thought you might find interesting.

Sorry to hear about this RF issue. It stinks of corruption. Hope those folks can get their domains back. I know their pain as I’m trying to get one of mine away from a different registrar. :(
