GoDaddy Take Over Register Fly - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

maverick · 05-29-2007, 07:19 PM

ICANN has today said GoDaddy will take control of the approximately 850,000 domain names still in the clutches of RegisterFly CEO Kevin Medina. The internet rumors of a GoDaddy takeover turned out to be true, and Medina now can devote himself completely to fending off the angry public with whatever resources he has left.

Bloody Hell!

Anyone else think the quality of Godaddy is going to down hill from now?

Rob_TID · 05-30-2007, 08:07 AM

At least it will be a step up from registerfly.

Jasonb · 05-30-2007, 11:32 AM

About time... Regfly messed up real bad not so long since Godaddy will revive them for sure

DruSam · 05-30-2007, 02:27 PM

great, more internet police gobbling up companies.

glad I switched from Reg Fly last week over to GoDaddy, that wasn't a waste of time

GoDaddy isn't all that fantastic either guys.. I mean, I use them a lot, but that's only because I have so many domains reg'ed with them from years ago. Most domainers, well, the pro ones or ones who make bank from expired/typeins know better than to get stuck with GoDaddy. Ah well, the big get bigger now.

Anarkist · 05-31-2007, 10:49 PM

What you say is perfectly fine Jon, but atleast this becomes a tad better than having your domains with Registerfly and letting theme expire away.

I mean, sure enough the big guys know whats the bet with GD, but people like me with a couple thousand domains, they sure'd find peace with this ICANN decision.

Honestly, I was never a Godaddy user, I just got an account with them for like 2 domains, those were for site I bought last year. For registration purpose I fully, completely recommend Dynadot, the best in the business guys!

Anyways, something is better than nothing!

Yeah.. just got the email from Bob. I got burned bad from Registerfly on a couple of domains. Joined the class action suit but would happy just to get my domain back!

Why in the hell would anyone not take something like RF and sell it to GD or something instead of running into the ground is fucked up!

Because some people are straight up morons.

Sweet deal - just got my domain back! GoDaddy pulled this out of the hat. Registerfly took my money twice to renew it and then parked it with their bs links page 3 months ago. It's been one hell of a ride but sweet mercy I got it back!!

Once the DNS is resolved I'm going to announce the URL and let everyone add your services to it for nada!

I might even put it up for sale as it's a sweet setup! But, you cheap ass fuckers can't or won't touch it cause most just ignore me anyway..

ROFL
