Who uses RegFly these days?


Just curious to who uses RegFly anymore. After their downfall, do any of you still use them?

if you're putting a lot of money into domains, you should be conservative about the registrars you use. that includes most registrars that offer cheap fees but no customer support, and what'll probably end up being a bad experience.

godaddy is expensive, but you know their not going to let you down. esp. since candice michelle is one of their sponsors

Hopefully nobody


No one, nobody, zero, zilch, nada, even my worst enemy should be using regfly or whatever its called these days.

There are so many other stable, cheaper and more reliable companies available.

Is that clear enough. NOBODY.

Absolutely. Everybody should remember this sound advice. Not worth taking a chance just to save a buck or two...

The funny thing about RegFly is they were always good to me. Fast-ish service, cheap and very reliable. But then one day, all of this just... disappeared and it takes us all to where the company stands now. After what they've put me though, I'll never use them again. I just wondered if ANYONE did these days. They can have even Microsoft's domains lol but it wouldn't convince me to ever try them again.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any negative word on Regfly for the past 8
to 9 months. Registerflies.com's last update was back in February, and I have
not come across anything bad online so far since then.

I never used them and after that mess would never use them. It was amazing how all these hundreds of thousands of domains went from having the owners whois details to suddenly having registerfly's whois details, that was certainly no accident. Also they must have hold of tens of thousands (if not more) of people's funds that they are refusing to let people use, that is verging on theft.

Not even close enough of a reason to even consider using them to be honest. Their reputation is shot, what would stop them doing the same again?

They are not on ICANN's list of accredited registrars. How are they selling domain registrations? Are they an enom reseller?

With all of their past abuse of customers and gross incompetence, this instills confidence [smirk]: (from RegFly terms of service) ...
