GoDaddy to Transfer 850,000 Registerfly Domain Names

RegisterFly customers have been affected by the loss of RegisterFly’s accreditation as a domain name registrar. Dreamhost had earlier offered a great deal with a full year of L1 plan, including domain registration transfer and renewal, completely free. Now GoDaddy, has reached an agreement too to transfer these domain names.

A press release has clarified that Godaddy has an agreement with RegisterFly and ICANN to transfer over RegisterFly’s portfolio of Web site names to GoDaddy.com and resolve problems of domain names registration worldwide.

“GoDaddy.com will notify RegisterFly customers of the switch and automatically move their domains for them. Customers can get support and answers to any questions they have at a dedicated GoDaddy.com hot line and a designated “welcome” Web page. Once the switch is complete, more than 850,000 domain names will have been moved.”

A blog post by Bob Parsons, CEO of Godaddy, clarifies that “GoDaddy.com did not purchase Registerfly. All we did was agree to the transfer-in of the domain names. So those individuals who have claims against Registerfly will need to proceed against Registerfly.” After they are moved over to GoDaddy.com, all RegisterFly customers will once again be able to manage and renew their domain names. Here is the welcome page at Godaddy.

GoDaddy is the world’s largest domain name registrar and this agreement resolves a complex issue which affected thousands of Registerfly customers (and it makes Godaddy even bigger!). Our domain name is also bought from Godaddy and I highly recommend it too. Were you a Registerfly customer?
