Registrars, is registerfly ok?

[moxsum]

Hello,

I just upgraded to platinum, and am a newb in the domain name biz. I use registerfly to register most of my names, is it ok? I mean, what do most people use any why when selling name?

Easy to use many many options in your account, you canpush to another registerfly memeber or you can push a name to an external party.

Registrations are at the low , medium range.

They have their own "sell your domains" list.
You can add domains you want to sell on this list for free, the price of the domains drops a little bit each day as it nears expiration. I have sold 4 names through that service.

You can export your domina lists, view each transaction and every attepmt to access your acount.
Has a fast reg option and bulk registration option

Many many options

Been with them almost 2 year and no complaints other than their servers were really slow at one time..but that has been remedied also(for the most part)

A couple members had problems with them awhile back... I'm sure you will hear from them also

Ok maybe, but some off this tools are not good. Lets to example, this registerfly "PUSH" - You have to know other accounts password! Why is that necessary? I have to create one empty account then push it to this account and then the buyer can push it to real account?

I only use enom or dotster, + names with I get with other drop catchers. I have used only 3 times godaddy and registerfly for maybe 10 domains.

So, I like to use paypal to reg domains. So, my final question is: Is registerfly good to use for selling domains? Anyone had experience with selling domains with a registerfly account?

I sell domains every week , Using registerfly .I've had 1 problem and that was with the buyer that didnt quite understand he had to open his email :laugh:

I was a regular RegisterFly user, and I have switched to eNom after getting a 6.95 reseller account (majorly because of price). This push problem is annoying, but it has been fixed for more than 6 months. Now you can select push a domain to a "third party", and Regfly will email a special link and instructions to the buyer. It's even better than than eNom's push IMO, because its easy to make a typo and push to different user (it happened to me before :shy: ).

My advice is RegFly is OK to use, but it's better to have a $6.95 or $8.95 eNom account.

I use Registerfly as well (love them). I also have an enom account as well. Between the both I prefer Registerfly. Registerfly changed the "push" feature to not require the password when pushing the account to another registerfly account, they also support the push to external party. Overall very cool features.

I did not know that.
Then I think it`s ok, but I like my enom $6.95 account better.

 

[moxsum]

So to transfer a domain name to someone doesnt require knowing the third parties passowrd? like if I was selling a name to someone who had a godaddy account

The user transfer is RegFly -> RegFly only. You can select the option and enter your own email and see what I mean. Believe me it won't hurt .

Transfers across registrars (e.g. RegFly -> Godaddy) usually require a transfer fee equal to one year renewal, which also add one year to the expiry. The buyer at Godaddy will initiate and pay for the transfer, Godaddy will email the seller who need to respond and acknowledge the transfer.

 

[NamePopper.com]

eNom all the way.

Also try NameCheap (another eNom reseller). They accept PayPal for single purchase registrations (no $100 account refill minimum) and they have all the same great tools of their parent eNom.

 

[domainer111]

Registerfly.com.

Personally I'm a big believer in spreading it around so I use a fair few registries, especially

namebargain.com
registerfly.com
namecheap.com
enom.com
dotster.com
iaregistry.com

If you come across a registry, make sure to check them out thoroughly.

Many will be ICANN acredited but make sure to check the list on http://www.icann.org.

my first experience with registerfly left a very nasty taste in my mouth

i wanted to register 50cent.cn and it was available and not regged.

i go to registerfly (purely because i was using paypal and namecheap did not yet handle the .cn ccTld) i log in, i search for the name, i add it to my cart, i go to the checkout, i go through the paypal payment procedure. i check my account.... nothing. oh well i thought these things can take time when using non credit card payments... it was late so i hit the hay. i wake up in the morning and still nothing, the name is available... i decide i will sort it out once i was at the office... when i get to the office... it's gone. someone else has registered the name themselves... being more than a little annoyed i open a support ticket to find out why they did not register this name for me... then in the meantime i figure the balance left in my account by not registering this name will go wasted so i register another name (tupac.cn)... i then get probably one of the most conceited and condescending emails from a so called 'help'-desk i have ever heard of in my life where in short i was told i was an idiot and i had not tried to register the name 50cent.cn i had registered tupac.cn and that i couldnt register 50cent.cn because it was already taken... following an almost unheard of amount of restraint on my part i dragged the email to the trash can and wrote registerfly off vowing never to waste any more of my money with them...

now i would reccomend enom to anyone. that or namecheap (an enom reseller). but registerfly... yuck!!!

Thank god they saved you $26 ! 50cent.cn ? come on cig :laugh:


I wouldnt give on on them just yet.. enom was also having trouble with .cn s regs when they first came out, I dont know how because I understand it is the same connection but I was able to reg .cns the first few hours at regflty BEFORE enom was ready..

It's hard to try any place agin after you have one bad experince..

 

[dmaven]

Agreed, I had issues registering .cn names on the first few days they came out(co.uk as well). After a few days the issues seem to of been worked out. Overall still a great registrar

 

[Manic]

Registerfly sucks bigtime! ...and this is not an expression I use very often.

I had a very similar experience to bid...

Though, in my case, they overcharged my card by $1000's and refused to refund it!

I tried many times to contact them to resolve the issue, but "Undead Person" wouldn't deal with the problem, and I got no response via email either, except to say I could use the money to register other names with them!!!

The only way I managed to retrieve the money was via a chargeback.

DON'T USE REGISTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!

50 cent is going to be one of the biggest rappers of this decade...

check the overture stats for his name... 2million plus

i wanted to make a site about him for my upcoming network so type-ins werent important. i was after his exact name so the domain fit the content...

plus the biggest thing that pissed me off was the email (i kinda wished i hadnt deleted it...) honestly i was in a bit of a rage after reading it... thats what put me off them... any place can slip up like you say... its how they handle that slip up that is important.
