FUCKING REGISTERFLY!!! anyone deal with these assholes? redirected ALL my domains!!!
 

Anyone ever have their shit locked up by a registrar before? Register Fly says my account was 'risky' and locked me out from switching registrars and have all my domains pointing to a search page.

I have to just sit and wait for an email because no one can help me on the phone or live support. Everyone I talk to is VERY rude and says I'll have to wait for the email. Funny thing is the fuckers didn't email me before they took my sites down. I had to wake up and find them like that.

Now, before anyone talks shit, there was NOTHING illegal or even borderline on any page of ANY of my sites. It was all just content and ads from large sponsors like ARS and the like.


So, bottom line for me is - FUCK REGISTERFLY!!!

Welcome to GFY and .................. :321GFY

hmmm....i use registerfly and never had a problem.

let us know what they end up saying their "reason" was for doin that to you. im interested to find out.

Nice auction site. 22 things for sale and ONE BID :1orglaugh why couldn't they take your site down. At least you wouldn't be losing money.

you said "to the search page"? Like a ppc directory or something? these fuckers are stealing your traffic dude, this is amazing.

what is a sample domain?

everyone bashes godaddy :1orglaugh

That's what I wrote in the email I was forced to send them.

I really don't want to post it here but it's just a generic search page with tons of links for auto insurance, mortgages and crap like that.

The domains are just generic adult names. Nothing over the line by any stretch. The only thing I can think of is that some of the whois info. I used is fake but is that a reason to kill all the domains without any warning or at least an email?

They don't care what you say. Have your lawyer contact them immediately, that tends to get their attention.

they are just making $$ out of your traffic, I would sue them..

Registerfly are assholes when it comes to support. I was being double billed for their ExpireFish service. I tried to contact them and they kept telling me to cancel one of their accounts. It didn't seem to matter how many times i told them that i only had one account, they just did not seem to understand. So i cancelled my account and both bills stopped appearing on my statement. Odd, considering they insisted i had 2 accounts over and over again.

That was the first person I called but he's in court today. I'm not sure what he could do for me TODAY anyway. Lawyers are good at getting things done but usually at the expense of time. His methods would be by the book of course. I'm ready to drive to registerfly with an automatic weapon. I just want this shit over. Every hour is money I lose.

I once tried to have a conversation with their supportcrew. I must say they didn't help me one bit. So I decided to take my domains elsewhere.

:/ I have all my domains there

Support is clearly outsourced. Here is a funny snipet of my convo. earlier.

ziggy: before I buy a domain for a year
ziggy: I want to know that I will be able to have that domain for a year
ziggy: see how fundamental that is to my purchasing decision?

wayne: The domain can be registered for one year
wayne: You can use it for one yar
wayne: After that you have to renew the domain

If I don't laugh at the situation I will start punching walls.

I found directnic and ev1 being good registrars, I even like ev1 more for a simple and fast interface and insanely low prices....

Very good advice. Call them and ask for a manager. Then ask for his manager. Ask him for a contact in their legal department that your attorney's letters should be addressed to.

The the time that gets out of your mouth, your domains will be back.

Shut the fuck up.

Fake whois is considered to be a crime, I am sure you will hear more soon.
In the time remaining see a lawyer.

I heard one man was recently convicted and put on death row for fake whois info. Registrars dont play.

Wow. Scary :1orglaugh Seriously though. When I say fake, I mean just a number or two off. It's not like I put the address of Shea Stadium as mine. The names and contact info. is all real so if they had any doubts they could have contacted me.

I know it doesn't make it right but come on. Everyone does it and I seem to be the only one with no sites today. I still don't get how they could do this with no warning or notification.

Sorry. Really I am. I just lashed out because I'm so pissed today. Your site is very nice.

I droppped them a long time ago when they fucked up my renewals. I paid for renewing a bunch of domains. I left for vacation and when I got back, they hadn't renewed them so they expired. So they ended up charging me for the renewal, which didn't happen and the fee for re-registering expired domains. :disgust

Just so you know that's only one of my site's and it's new. We allso welcome most people with a ..... :321GFY . You just didn't start a " I'm new thread".



:)

Nothing wrong with godaddy. 99% of godaddy complaints are from spammers who get their domains jacked. I get spammed all the time from domains registered at registerfly.

Yes, 8char

He was executed on January 5th

Bingo! Case solved
:thumbsup

It is not "illegal" to have fake whois. It's just against ICANN's rules and you can have it yanked. This doesn't sound like a case like that.

If they were my domains, I'd go absolutely ape shit as I'd be losing a year's salary in a day.

Keep us posted. I cannot stand regfly--double billers!

I have often said on gfy that registerfly are fucking crooks.
i deal with a lot of registers and these guys are one of the scammiest.Deal with them at your own peril.

too bad. I just got an email from Directnic about one of my domains expiring in three days. I just clicked the button in the email, made a few more clicks on their site, and voila. Everything is done.

I like convenience like that. Directnic emails the SHIT out of you about your expiring domains. If you forget, it's your own fault.

I had a domain hijacked, called the support line, they didnt know whats up, they put me to advanced support, I chatted with the guy for 2 minutes, Said I'd send him a bunch of free shit if he hooked me up, less then a week later I have my domain back.

By the way, post a note about your problem on domainstate.com. The whole business reads that board and I've had problems solved pretty quick when I post there :)

i fucking hate domain registrars period
they are all evil

Fuck, that suck big time man.. sorry to hear that !

glad i dont use registerfly

that sucks.

OK. I FINALLY got through and talked to someone and got my answer. You guys are not going to believe this one. I have to go run out and send a fax to get my shit back up and then I'll tell you the deal.

For now, leave registerfly as fast as you can.

Would you rather they dont verify stuff via fax? Trust me, I am not a fan of registerfly by any means, but come on now.
