RegisterFly Is Flying Away
The company RegisterFly.comâ„¢ was recently involved in a bit of a scandal where the CEO Kevin Medina was ousted by two other board members. The case was taken to court and Medina won, and was able to rejoin control of the company as the CEO. At that time apparently, they were also given time to “clean up their act” by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) which holds control of domain names.
It was then announced in a shocking announcement that RegisterFly.com was to lose their accreditation. This is an announcement that will be sure to shake up the affiliate marketing industry because many of us have domains with RegisterFly.com. The official announcement on ICANN’s website states that the domain company RegisterFly has lost their accreditation, and “Effective immediately ICANN has terminated RegisterFly’s right to use the ICANN Accredited Registrar logo on its website.”
This truly is shocking news, and makes me wonder what is going to happen with the domains that many of us have registered at the company.

What about the money I have with them, I am unable to use it, I have tried to purchase domains with no luck and forget trying to stay on the phone long enough for support…
Hi Joe. I am sorry to hear that you are in this situation. I would recommend you file a complaint with the The Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org/), or The International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network (http://www.icpen.org/). I am sure if you write those agencies, you will get a resolution to your problem. Good luck.
Hi:
I have a number of domains at registerfly and am very concerned because I spent three days last week trying to renew a domain name critical to my business. It has builtup business value and registerfly’s renew process screwed up day after day.
And, yes, I spent days on hold on their phone system. At this stage, I have lost a critical domain to my business!! This is very bad business and I only hope to get justice for all my other domains with this company.

Hi Aaron
We were lucky enough to transfer our domain out of RegisterFly just before the madness started occurring. Keep sending them emails asking for your transfer authorization code. In the end if you don’t get your domain file a complaint with ICANN! Good luck.
