Once again, wow!

Very nice.

wow, finally something from the top.

You might like to copy and paste the letter here as reisterflies in daily offline during a period od 12 hours!
Now present they have downtime again

I think they are getting too much traffic for their hosting plan at hostgator.

Hi Stu2, yep but as I know, posted on their website, the have a D server now.
But the timing of the downtime are every day at the same period.

BTW I have all this Dutch beer still for you, when are you coming to drink them? ;)

I notice the flies are down quite often .. i thought they had a dedicated server?

I'm reading it now.. I can't believe ICANN have done something at last ABOUT TIME!!! :rolleyes:

Too little too late.......

It looks like ICANN have certainly been having their own issues with RF over the last year + and have been getting many complaints. Yes, they really should have done something way before now and RF have obviously been taking advantage of ICANN's weak stance uptil now.

What happens if RF "goes away"?

Can ICANN take over the names?

But what will happen with our domains after RF will ose the ICANN Ac?

Good Question, I wish I also knew, maybe someone here has some idea?

Actually, that is precisely what I would like to know... if RegisterFly goes down, what happens to all the domains that are now "locked" by them!?

Hi,

Read the below article i was blown away

Anger and fear as domain firm slowly implodes:

I hope he's scared right now. I truly do.

If a Registrar loses their accreditation or goes out of business ICANN has provisions in their agreements to ensure the domains will be manageable with other Registrars.

I would like to know that if a register with ICANN goes down that all domains will be guaranteed to be moved back to the rightful owner.

In the Netherlands we have such a law that the organization that gives out the license will care that the domains .nl flow back to the owners.

Again ICANN had to step in long long time ago reading this pfd file posted here.
In other words they take money but sit on their as* and having nice trips to Brazil while so many domain holders are in huge trouble because of registerfly.
Shecan, mecan, meatcan, wecan, hecan, theycan but what can ICANN?

And the failed registrar should be made to add 10 years renewal to each domain.

And what about domains that expired under the illegal actions of the failed registrar and someone snapped it?

Maybe all domains held by the failed company should be locked so they can't expire or expiration date extended indefinitely or something.

Just some thoughts....

Thank you.

From what I read RF is an Enom Reseller (haha funny) Per Enoms Terms of Service if RF shuts down enom should retain rights to the active domains.

Look about right?

Registerfly WAS an eNom reseller.
They started to transfer domains (that were renewed) out from their eNom account and into their own system about one year ago.
Most of the domains are under their own control now.
The few domains that were left in their eNom reseller account, and had Protectfly activated, are the one facing most of the problems now.
Your problem shows up when You need to renew the domain, and they take Your money, but doesn't renew it for You

Sammy :)

that is lawsuit material if I ever saw it.

The ICANN move, whatever it may be, will be merely the latest stage in a strange tale that involves allegations of Registerfly executive corruption, high-class escorts, liposuction, borderline suicidal customers, and a $6,000 chihuahua.

They've lost 40% of their biz and counting...
You won't lose anything should they implode...domains will just get transferred to a reputable registrar. :popcorn:

Better today than in a couple of days.
I hope I will NEVER have to see the name of RF again on the world wide web!
I remember a time that the internet and domain were almost free until those sharks came into business.
Than some organization like ICANN who even after 2 years does not step in!
They also should be on court and shame on them aswell to let it come so far!

I think the internet community has learned a valuable lesson from this chaos.

I'm EAGERLY waiting for any ICANN ACTION: already reserved my front row seats (by INTENTIONALLY leaving some unimportant domain names at RegisterFly). Let's see how things roll out. :D

Tom, would you know if ICANN has already adopted some kind of registrar "data
escrow program" of sorts? Last I checked, there still isn't any.

Theoretically, all Registrars should be escrowing their data. ICANN is still finalizing the policy and actual procedures.
