An update to my last RegisterFly post:

ICANN, the nonprofit corporation that administers the internet domain name system, has been given permission by a court ruling to terminate RegisterFly’s accreditation.

ICANN is immediately inviting statements of interest from accredited registrars to act as a transfer provider, so domain name registrants can gain full access to their domains. The registrar handling the transfers will temporarily hold the names and help registrants transfer to any ICANN accredited registrar of their choice.

“Registrants are our first concern. ICANN is following a very determined approach to returning access to domain name registrants impacted by the collapse of RegisterFly,” said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN President and CEO. “ICANN knows that many registrants are anxious for a transfer to occur. We are committed to making sure this process is put in place as quickly as possible. While we understand that this process may be frustrating for some RegisterFly customers, it is the first time that ICANN has had to intercede in such a way and these steps are being taken to ensure that the system introduced works as effectively as possible.”

If you still have domains registered with RegisterFly you should move the domains to another domain name registrar immediately. I highly suggest GoDaddy.com.

Don’t forget that Lockergnome has the following discount codes you can use when registering, transferring, or renewing a domain: CHRIS1, CHRIS2, CHRIS3
