I published a post back in January about how inept I thought RegisterFly were, and now they have been de-accredited by ICANN.

I’ve only just read the full story at Wikipedia. Seems this 10-year-old business, with 2 million registered domains, was run by a pair of gay lovers who recently broke up, accusing each other spending business proceeds on things like male prostitutes, liposuction, a penthouse apartment in Florida, and a $6,000 chihuahua dog. Now it is starting to make sense!

Even though the site has been de-accredited, and a court has ordered them to stop mentioning that they are accredited, the site has not changed, and appears to be still taking orders for domain names.

Supposedly ICANN will transfer all the domain names to another registrar arounf Mar 31st. Hopefully it won’t be too painful for their million customers
