Following are some links I ran into today.

The RegisterFly Debacle ... has another Registerfly horror story with many comments recounting bad experiences.

RegisterFly Is A Scam ... seems like a story similar to mine. They tried to renew their domain and kept failing until they contacted Registerfly's billing department. Go figure.


HowTo Fly Away… or how to escape from the RegisterFly nightmare ... has a step-by-step instruction on how to transfer a domain registered back when Registerfly was a eNom reseller.

Registerfly is my domain name registar. I had no big complaints with them until recently when their website became very sluggish and unresponsive. I wanted try out a different domain name registar because I was hearing good things about one in particular.

When one of my domains names was about to expire, I initiated a domain name transfer process. Being my first transfer, I was rather clumsy at it. I got started on the whole thing very close to the expiration deadline and thereby having the domain expire before the transfer completed.

When I confirmed with the new registar that I need to renew my domain name before proceeding with the transfer, I ordered a renewal with Registerfly. The renewal order falied for unspecified reasons.

Naturally, I attempted to contact Registerfly through their support system. This was two days later. (It has been a week. I have yet to receive a response.) Later on the same day, my credit card was charged the renewal fee by Registerfly. Seeing an email about the charge, I assumed that Registerfly renewed the domain.

They hadn't. So I contacted them again and yet again. I'm waiting for their response. I really do hope this turns out well.

On a brighter note, Registerfly's website seems more responsive now - meaning that it no longer takes me two minutes to load a page.
