I was on the phone with them yesterday for 1 hour 17 minutes. They said the server was down and it needed to be rebooted. That was just great for about an hour. Down again...and they never respond to my open trouble tickets, so if I want my email I have to spend more time on the phone. This SUCKS!!!!! | ||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | After talking to several people that I respect in the domain world about their experience with this company and through recent developments with the ccTLD BE registered through Registerfly, I no longer have the opinion that user error is completely at fault to the wave of problems at this fraudulent company. I do not want anyone to be burned by this company on my recommendation. Therefore, all posts that suggest that Registerfly can be used safely (if you pay attention to details) are being deleted. Sorry folks, I was wrong to defend them. Even if everything is done absolutely correctly, you have a good chance of losing your company through no fault of you own, if you leave any important domains with this company. If you screw something up, that chance increases dramatically. So for both the professionals (those with long time experience with buying and managing domains) and for newbies (those with only one or two) this company is a risk to your property. My apologies to anyone who I misled into believing you could work safely at Registerfly with a little experience. Under no condition keep any important domain at this company. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 In other words, I was wrong!!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | gfgf Sorry, sorry but I just cannot agree with this...
The problems I've had with them are: - registration attempts failed - domains missing from my account - whois that reverts to their default profile instead of mine - etc These are the same problems reported by many other users. It's not the end user that is to blame but their buggy scripts most of the time. They need to fix their scripts and make them more reliable and user-proof as much as possible. That's the least you could expect.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 9 days to respond to a ticket ? Come on ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782
What professionals need is not only good pricing but reliability and peace of mind. With Registerfly you can't have it all. I believe Registerfly is actually targetting the same user base as Godaddy, that is the average John Doe that is not too knowledgeable about domains. When people become knowledgeable they tend to leave. You admit that their system is crap. So why insist ? By having domains with Registerfly you are taking a chance. Can you afford to lose your domains ? Also, you have to wonder if the savings are worth the stress and hassle.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I used to defend Registerfly as well. At the point I had 700 domains with wrong whois info all naming registerfly as the owner, AND they refused to fix it forcing me to hand change them one at a time (their bulk script didn't work eihter), that was enough for me to give them up.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 And a step 9 - Make sure after the renewal/transfer that the domain is still in your account. I had a lot go missing from my account completely.

Prefessionals can afford a little more professionalism from their provider. Profesionals also value their time more than the few dollars saved to put up with the extra effort and value of lost domains.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Some good points there bionic, unfortunately I don't agree with your comment on it being the user. For starters, only problem I have with them is they keep changing my whois to their's Ionly have 7 there so it's easy enough at the moment to keep changing it back. Shouldn't have to check them everyday, but hey..."buggy system" (and that's not a "user error") Alot of the "instructions" are followed with...don't use this as it's not working, or don't do it that way cause they don't have it set up for that! , do it this way! But where is all that instruction in their "how to" stratagies? ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 If they don't explain "properly" how to...how to they expect people to "do" "Users" using a buggy system (which you commented yourself) the best they can, yet still the crack about it being a user issue! Sorry, but some issues are user error (and sometimes a silly little thing) But where is Regfly's support? Where is their end user assistance? And where are these people's domains? |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 No one hates you bionichead...just Registerfly.....And contrary to your belief...their are many professionals at this forum.... I was with RegFly when they first started and you could email Tim directly...it is now a Dog and Pony show. And saying they are "for professionals" really is laughable... imho

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | jaydub, I never said you were unprofessional. I do think that bitch sessions are unprofessional. It was published in February 2006 that all renewals are transfers. We are in November 2006. Why isn't this information common knowledge? Let me ask this. Is complaining productive? If you complain all day long, will it imporve the errors at Registerfly? Not a chance. There's two kinds of people when it comes to technology. There are those that read the instructions and find the solution to the problem at hand. And there are those who don't bother to read the manual, give up when it gets tough and say the product is crap because it doesn't work. The point I want to make is this: Registerfly is broken in many ways. Get over it. Adapt to it. Find a solution. Don't sit around posting threads that say, "I got a transfer notice when I went to renew my name, what crap." That helps nobody. I gave you the solution to easy renewals at Registerfly. It is posted on their website. It is in the knowledge base and 18,300+ people have read it. This should no longer be an issue. I am not their PR man, but I do have an interest in them. They do have one trait that I think makes them worth defending. When they became their own Registrar, they dropped all their prices. EuroDNS wants 18 Euro to register an info, for example. That's about $23. Registerfly has been selling them for 60 cents. I want them to survive for sure. They save me lots of money. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 Instead of bitching about them, try to find out why things don't work. Anybody can bitch. That's easy. Its the soultions that take an effort and are worth the time. My apologies to the forum if I have shown it any disrespect. It wasn't my purpose or desire. Peace. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | You're allegory is off base. A better allegory is somebody who buys a model chair, doesn't read the instructions on how to use the chair, puts it together wrong, breaks it and then bitches that the wood was bad and the design sucks. Registerfly clearly states in the knowledge base that all renewals are transfers. Anybody who screwed up a renewal obviously failed to follow the instructions. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 Nevertheless, I'll we can use you're allegory. I'll take 12 of those broken chairs, please. I can use my computer and my hands too. I started out in construction and built my own home at 30. I'll make 9 good chairs out of those broken 12, sell them for three times what I paid for them and use the rest as firewood. Now I've made a profit and I'm warm too. You're on the floor wondering why you keep falling off that stupid, three legged chairs. So what's the point? Griping isn't going to change a thing. 900,000 people use Registerfly (supposedly), you'd think we would be able to figure it out. Doesn't anyone have some solutions to these problems. Isn't there anybody who knows some tricks? Solutions and problem solving: That's what's interesting. I'm looking for answers, not rehashed and regurgitated problems. Gripesites bore me to death.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | well if the chair is broken when you buy it then the design sucks...mind you using the Regfly construction as firewood is a good idea. PS... most domainers don't want a D.I.Y. flat pack assembly with half the screws missing, but hey everybody needs a hobby! so good luck..... |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=246782 I am going to continue to post what my experiences have been with this company whether it bores you or not.... Hopefully it prevents others from having to make these "boring" posts. I deal with dozens of registrars and RegisterFly is single-handedly...without a doubt...no equal...the absolute worst.... I assume that has just bored you to tears... Anyone reading this who is not "bored to death"....avoid RegisterFly at all costs. 'nuf said...
