Register Fly is Terrible!

When Kevin Medina and John Naruszewicz joined forces nine years ago, the Internet was like an untamed frontier. There was little to discourage Medina, the owner of an office-cleaning business in New Jersey, and Naruszewicz, a recent high school dropout, from joining the dot-com gold rush. The tiny company they started, RegisterFly.com Inc., ultimately became a midsize registrar of Internet addresses for more than 200,000 customers, including entertainer Michael Jackson. Now a messy fight between the two for control has brought RegisterFly to its knees and prompted angry calls for better oversight of the Web registry industry.

Over the past week we have heard of the “downfall” of Register Fly. Register Fly was a “good” domain registar that I used for the majority of my names. They were mid-range in price and offered a decent service with a good GUI. As of last week I had four domain left with them. Today I have two.

A few days ago it was announced that Register Fly will lose their ICANN accreditation on March 31. It is currently unclear what will happen with the domains they have but I would think another company, like Go Daddy, would offer to purchase the customers in a legal and fair way. This sparked me to transfer my two major domains to Go Daddy. One of those domain includes this one, 5tags.com.

If you would like to know more about what happened at Register Fly, the Wikipedia article describes it well.

If you have any worth-while domains at Register Fly - TRANSFER THEM IMMEDIATELY.
