We have recent added 20 new additional extensions and will be launching an additional 12 Country Code TLD's within the next few weeks. If you have an existing new.net name with RegisterFly.com you will still be able to manage and renew it. We are very excited about the new TLD's we have added to our offerings and feel they represent a more diverse offering to our customers. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us at [email protected]

Good.

My Hat is off to them .... It's about time !

I agree, this is good news. Many people who like RegisterFly (myself included) were disappointed by them selling and supporting the new.net stuff. I've seen quite a few posts on the subject at various forums. Perhaps they listened to their buying public, or maybe they just figured it out themselves, but either way this is a good decision.

 

[Rob]

Thank-you!

 

[Brian]

Good news indeed!

 

[floatingworld]

maybe they should offer a credit note to those who have current registered new.net names with them to transfer back to registerfly

 

[Prosperous]

Agreed. Glad I never purchased one of those new.nets...

What a surprise...
They should've done their homework BEFORE accepting that junk.
Huge blow for new.net, good thing.

That's good news, at least RegisterFly will be able to earn a better profit once they start selling new TLD's rather than New.net services which in reality have no value.

I went on their FlyPaper website and found information on the TLD's that they will be offering. Here is a fragment taken from the TheFlyPaper website.

Do you find that good names are harder to find? RegisterFly is pleased to offer 21 new exciting extensions. Some of the new extensions are:

br.com - Brazil
cn.com - China
de.com - Germany
eu.com - Europe - Thus Italy, France, Spain, Etc.
gb.com, gb.net, uk.com, & uk.net - United Kingdom
sa.com - Saudi Arabia & South America
hu.com - Hungary
jpn.com - Japan
no.com - Norway
qc.com - Quebec
ru.com - Russian Federation
se.com & se.net - Sweden
us.com - United States
uy.com - Uruguay za.com - South Africa
web.com - World-Wide

These domain extensions range from $21.99 to $39.99 /yr. Many great domain names are available with these extensions. There are no restrictions or limitations. All of these extensions are available with single year purchases.

Those are the new "12 Country Code TLDs" that they are offering? Those aren't ccTLDs, they are subdomains! If they are seriously marketing these as ccTLDs, then they are again going the same "dupe the customer" route. Caveat Emptor, indeed.

Where can you find info about registerfly's new "ccTLDs"?

Could anyone explain to me why they think it is commendable of Registryfly to drop 4th level registrations of new.net (whatever.agent.new.net, whatever.church.new.net, …whatever.scifi.new.net) but add 3rd level registrations of web.com (agent.web.com, church.web.com, …scifi.web.com) ->AT $60 PER YEAR!!!!!?

 

[AdoptableDomains]

Oh well, at least the centralnic's third level domains are resolvable as real domains without a plugin to hide the true TLD ending. I still think borders on a scam to call them country domain names when in fact they are just selling subdomains.

All, just to clarify

We do not consider centralnic domains CCTLD's at all. These are just new extensions we recently supported. When we refer to CCTLD's we are referring to new extensions we are bringing on in a few weeks.

Some of them are:

.be
.at
.jp
.co.nz
.org.nz
.net.nz
.ms
.gs
.tc
.vg

We are also working to try to include some of the australian extensions in this release

Hope this clarifies

 

[Virgil]

Good news. The new.net domains are a few inches short of a scam anyway. :D

Looking at some domains in these extentions....hehe

This decision may open a can of worms for reg fly. For, if anyone did ever decide to issue asuit against them, they would find it hard to explain as to why they claimed them to be TLD's in the first place and why it was (if they beleived them to be thus) why they were now dropping them......!

Any legal victory thereafter would set a precendence for everyone holding these names to also claim damages and/or get their money back...

Guess we'll just have to see how things pan out..

But I do agree with others, I like reg fly, their user interface and support

 

[octobus]

Sane decision, regfly
