![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yeah, I'm wondering too. I don't want to transfer yet as I'd like to not throw down the cash to transfer all my domains and then later find out another company is taking over and I didn't have to move them.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | You saw how badly registerfly has handled this when they were still trying to save the business. How hard do you think they will try to maintain the database when they know they are being forced to close? Yes, you might have to pay to transfer, but you do get another year reg extension and you get to pick your registrar. What if they transfer to NSI where the renewal is $25/yr and you then can't transfer out quickly enough? I saw disaster coming 6 months ago and transferred out over 600 domains. It cost me a bundle last year, but I now don't have so many renewals this year. It all comes out the same in the end, except for me the hassle is over. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/306114-what-to-do-my-domains-registerfly.html You're on the Titanic. You've hit the iceberg, the ships sinking, and captains sent out lifeboats half full. You can trust the registerfly captain that you will be saved, or you can trust that ICANN will get another ship to rescue you in time. Personally, I'd be looking for something that I know floats and attempt to save myself.

![]() | I was just in RegFly and getting auth. Codes is no prob.. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 Just log in, go to My Accounts and manage Domains. Put an X in the box next to the auth code you want and click the WhoIs and the Auth Code will be on the bottom of the page. Then Unlock the domain and proceed with the transfer by notifiny the Registrar you want it transfered to.. You'll get email from him with 2 codes and after that you put the Auth Code in and that it.. I've been transfering a few domains I've sold for the last 2 weeks with no trouble.. Also talking to VeriSign if RegFly did go down you'll be able to have the nets, coms and tv TLDS transfered at no cost to the registrar you wish. The .infos are something else, an Irish owned Registry with support in India or ine of those Camal riding cos and theyt might go back to Aplus which is also the registry but stay in your name.. I still have over 1100 domains there and not worried about them.. Good Luck PS if it hangs just try it again from the Domain Manager, also I was using IE but found it easier if I had IE read as FireFox... |

I'm trying to follow these steps, but can't see what you mean at "Put an X in the box next to the auth code you want and click"...?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | OK. I got my authorization codes yesterday, put in my transfer but have yet heard from Registerfly - which is not unusual, registrars usually make you wait. Anyway, I do not know if they are allowing transfers out (keep the stats high to get more money from Godaddy?) but here is how to get the Authorization code: log in click the name of the domain you want to transfer just below the big heading of the domain name see Domain status - if it says "locked" click the word "locked". Check the box that says unlock, click update. Go back and do the same for protectfly and Auto renew (set to off) Go back to the main page for that domain. Here is where it is tricky. Just below the protectfly line is a blue bar that says Domain Contact Information. Click the little + on the right of the bar. It will either give you a black button saying configure, (click that) or it will give you the Admin, billing addresses and etc. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and there is a black button marked configure. Click that. Once you click configure you get another page of the addresses and you will find the Authorization code at the bottom on the left. Copy /paste that and provide it to your new registrar when they ask for it. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 Many thanks to a poster who provided the clue of the Domain Contact Information / configure path. I had looked all over but had not found it. |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 Your domains are at Enom only if you registered before January 2006 (I'm not very sure about the exact date, but it is around that one). After that date Registerfly became an accreddited ICANN registrar.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 Later, Enom revoked registerfly's reseller priveleges and some of those names went into limbo. Therefore, there could still be names in Unified Names/Registerfly's account at enom or they could be in registerfly's own registrar acccount. you can ususally tell by doing a whois.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I read somewhere, that you can create a new account at regfly. Push your domains over to the new account and they are unlocked. You can then transfer them out. It should be somewhere in the forum If you search for it. It looks like it works.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ok, here is a step by step guide. NOTE: credit should be given as always. I got this from DNF member ThisDot. ***************** Step by Step Guide to transferring your domains away from RegisterFly. __________________________________________________ _______________ I had my names in my DomainTurnpike account in 1-2 days using this method. This is a very detailed guide. Probably more detailed than necessary, but I went ahead and did it that way so everyone can get their names out, even if they have only 1 domain and very little experience with this sort of thing. Step 1. Login to your registerfly account. Step 2. Click Manage Domains, then click the 1st domain name you want to transfer. Step 3. Click the link marked Lock next to Domain Status. Step 4. Uncheck the Lock box and click the Update button. If you have more than 1 domain to transfer you can use the drop down box to select the other domains 1 at a time and uncheck the Lock box and click the update button for each domain. After you are finished unlocking all your domains proceed to step 5. Step 5. Return to the Manage Domains screen and click the 1st domain name you are transferring. Step 6. Click the + sign next to Domain Contact Information. After it has been expanded, click the Configure button. Step 7. Now the Authorization Code is displayed near the bottom of the screen. Copy and paste this code into a notepad next to the domain name for future reference. Also check at this time that the conact emails are current and that you will be able to receive email at that address, this is important. If you have more than 1 domain to transfer you can use the drop down box to select the other domains 1 at a time and copy and paste the Authorization Codes for future reference. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 Now that you have all your names unlocked and have the authorization codes for them you can proceed to the registrar you are transferring to. In my case domainturnpike.com (godaddy reseller.) You may choose any registrar you wish. The rest of this guide assumes you are using domainturnpike.com. Step 8. Login to your Domainturnpike account (create one if you need to.) Step 9. Under the grey bar, Select Domain Names/Bulk Transfer. Step 10. Enter your list of domains to transfer into the box and click the go button. Step 11. Verify your domains and click PROCEED TO CHECKOUT. Step 12. Finish completing the checkout process and pay for the transfers. Step 13. You will receive an 1 or more emails with further instructions and some codes. Follow those directions, they are very detailed. Step 14. This will take you to a screen where you will have to paste the authorization code you copied in step 7 into the box next to each domain. Step 15. Registerfly will send you an email for each domain along with a code to confirm or deny the transfer. Click the link provided and enter the codes. Thats it, now you should have your names back very soon! P.S. if you can not unlock, there is always this *very good* thread here at NP http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...ht=registerfly

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | thats a tough one. ICANN('t) regulations do not allow transfers of names that are not 60 days old. Give it a try though, as I know many registrars are helping out regfly domain owners. P.S. GoDaddy seems to accomodate for such situations in a quick search I did.

All of RF's remaining domains are going to end up at a new registrar soon enough. Which one is anyone's guess at this point. The best thing you can do (aside from transferring out) is make sure your WHOIS details are correct on any domain you have at RF. It's very likely that your registerfly user account details will not be carried over with your domains to the new registrar, and that admin email address contacts will have to be used to establish ownership. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 RJ

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Does godaddy still have a coupon code for regfly transfers? I thought I got everything out of there worth anything but one .info has made 4.50 this month - probably worth moving versus letting it die there like regfly.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ok, not trying to sound like a know it all, however, there is a provision, where if you forfeit your renewal term, it IS possible to transfer before 60 days. That is, you will lose the original 1 year reg instead of adding 1 year to it, but ICANN does seem to allow this. example: domain is renewed today. In theory, it can njot be transfered for 60 days. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 If you forfeit the amount you paid (365 days from today), and transfer, you lose the extra year, but you can transfer out. In any case, I suggest you ask your new registrar about it, and explain it is a regfly name. I have done this before in names I bought from buydomains, the only diference being (and it might be a big one, not sure), that even though 1 year was added to it, I did not want to stay witht hat registrar, and requested a transfer. I lost the 1 extra year, and substituted it with the 1 year that was the transfer itself.
RJ, many names that are at regfly (pre ICANN) are through Enom. These names will NOT be held, as the whois shows Enom, and not regfly as the registrar. I am going to assume by the years that regfly was in business, that this is probably the majority of the cases, although I do not have any data to prove it.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=306114 eNom terminated their relationship with RegFly as of last month. Any names that are actually with eNom will be taken care of by eNom. They already have a process for RegFly customers to take control of their names at eNom. http://www.enom.com/migrate/faq.asp
Would be good to know if this was available in this time to RF customers.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I bought a domain from buydomains. It as set to expire within a specified amount of time. BD renewed it for 1 year, and therefore I could not transfer it. I notified BD and Moniker. an arrangement was made, were, the extra year was lost, but I did transfer the domain and gained the year at Moniker. Not sure if this can help the situation with RF, but I can not se why It can not.
