Bye Bye Registerfly

[domainsusi]

For those of you who don't know - here is part of an email I received from eNom:


**************
This is a formal notice to owners of domains which have been registered through eNom via its reseller, RegisterFly.com.

YOU MUST TAKE ACTION NOW TO RETAIN FULL MANAGEMENT RIGHTS TO YOUR DOMAIN NAME.

Although you purchased your name at RegisterFly, eNom is the actual registrar of record for your domains. As we are severing our relationship with RegisterFly, we are aware that this may have an impact on you as the domain owner.

Aw that sucks...

 

[JasMate]

Yes I got this email too. They said I only have 2 domains with registerfly but I actually have 404 domains! So I don't know how to correct this, I have sent enom an email about it to sort this out.

 

[Robert Allen]

I am unsure if this is true, as i have no email from them whatever.

[lazyleo]

wow thats bad ..glad i never even made a account there!

 

[kleszcz]

Written also....

we have terminated RegisterFly as a reseller of domain names through eNom.

 

[JasMate]

I know now why enom only think I have 2 domains at registerfly, for some reason my domain contact details are not being updated when I submit bulk changes. Does anyone know how to get my contact info changed for registerfly domains? Their script really sucks, how can I fix this ?

 

[cera]

Just got my notice. Only 5 domains left with RegFly. Have been moving them away over last few months, maybe I didn't need to.

 

[PolurNET]

Got it as well, seems Enom is doing a good job stepping in to take control. I'd feel terrible if I was Registerfly though, Enom really gave them a good, direct beating!

 

[domaincollector]

This has to be crap.

I haven't received the email. I bet lots of other people haven't.

This sounds like a fishing attempt...

EDIT: I don't think Enom is the sponsoring registrar for RegisterFly

I have names at Namecheap & Registerfly. The whois on my Namecheap name actually says that Enom is the ICann registrar. The name with Regfly doesn't.

Careful guys, I am betting (until I hear otherwise) that this is a scam / fishing attempt.

Just my $ 0.02

RegisterFly previously was a reseller of enom, now they are accredited registrar, but some domains still staid with enom. Enom didn't get all of the domains, only the domain that were registered before RegisterFly got accredited, other are still with Registerfly.

Is anyone else having trouble actually getting to registerfly.com?

maybe registerfly.com was also registered at enom :hehe:

well, actually I can still access it.

I have names at Namecheap & Registerfly. The whois on my Namecheap name actually says that Enom is the ICann registrar. The name with Regfly doesn't.

I believe that RegFly used to simply be an Enom reseller and that mid last year they became a registrar themselves.
The last few renewals that I did with RegFly were actually processed as transfers from Enom to RegFly (got a transfer approval email)
I'm guessing that the domains being transfered away from RegFly are ones that haven't been renewed (and transfered from Enom) since that change over.

The full email is:

This is a formal notice to owners of domains which have been registered through eNom via its reseller, RegisterFly.com.

YOU MUST TAKE ACTION NOW TO RETAIN FULL MANAGEMENT RIGHTS TO YOUR DOMAIN NAME.

Although you purchased your name at RegisterFly, eNom is the actual registrar of record for your domains. As we are severing our relationship with RegisterFly, we are aware that this may have an impact on you as the domain owner.
Therefore we would like to offer this opportunity to assist you in securing control of your domain name directly with eNom.

Over the last year, eNom has become aware of an increasing number of complaints from dissatisfied RegisterFly customers.

As an eNom reseller, RegisterFly is contractually bound to adhere to certain standards of customer service in a speedy and diligent manner. Therefore, effective immediately, we have terminated RegisterFly as a reseller of domain names through eNom.

Our records indicate that you are the registrant contact for [number removed] domains.

P.S.: IMPORTANT! If no action is taken, you may no longer be able to renew your domain name or manage it in 30 days.
The domain name will remain registered in your name at eNom until it expires. Please take action immediately. Thank you.

RegisterFly.com doesn't work anymore either. The good news is that any of your RegFly domains are now a bit safer. The bad news is that it will cost you $30 a year to renew them with eNom...

Ah, that would likely be it.

When was the transition to being fully accredited?

$29.99?

 

[PolurNET]

Yeah, Enom's pricing is terrible, but at least we don't need to worry about bad service. Did anyone notice in the FAQ they mentioned they can recover expired domains? Would be useful for those who were unable to contact registerfly to get their 'missing' domains back

I've went through the transition process, but haven't had my name transferred yet to the enom account. Guess it will take a few hours...

$29.99?

eNom has ensured that you, as a former RegisterFly customer, will receive the same discounted price as when you purchased your domain name at RegisterFly

from the FAQ page

 

[verbster]

This is not good. Do I understand this correctly....

Only the domains previously registered through regfly when they were using enom as their registrar are now transferable to enom.

Domains registered with regfly after they got their own accreditation aren't able to be auto transferred to enom. (If this is the case, and regfly is failing...what happens to the domains?)
