RegisterFly Customers, Welcome to GoDaddy!

newgdg.jpgI have seen a number of folks out there confused as to why they are getting E-mails from GoDaddy saying that they are their new domain name register. Well, afraid it isn’t a scam folks. GoDaddy seems to be willing to pick up the slack where RegisterFly dropped the ball.

Web hosting and domain name provider Godaddy.Com is to receive domain name accounts from RegisterFly, it was announced this week. The move comes as a response to RegisterFly’s inability to maintain domain names registered by its customers and its subsequent loss of ICANN accreditation.

The company was the center of considerable controversy as its demise left thousands of domain name registrants stranded. Regsiterfly’s subscribers’ domains will automatically be moved to Go Daddy. On completion, over 850,000 domain names will have been transferred to Go Daddy.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, I can talk to you for ever on how bad GoDaddy’s Web hosting is but - as far as domains go, they are the king of the ring. So what do you think - is this fair or not?

Comments and Feedback

It suits me just fine. I stopped paying attention to the registerfly fiasco once I fianlly got my 5 main domains back. The remaining bunch werent’t important enough to worry about. But I am okay with them being given to GoDaddy, since that’s where I switched anyhow (for now). At least they aren’t lost :)

Well I have several domain names registered with godaddy and no complaints at all.

In fact this one time I bought a new domain name, used the addon domain function in cpanel to configure everything, changed the dns options in the godaddy control panel, and my domain was up in 15 minutes. I was expecting 24-48 hours :-)
