In the end, this goes to show that ICANN has been a paper tiger for all too long, but I hope this serves as a gigantic wake-up call for the industry to get its act together. Here's another article on the subject that I wrote on my DreamHosted site the other day: http://www.macnightowl.com/2007/05/16/what-if-your-internet-domain-was-hijacked/ Peace, Gene I just wanted to let you folks know that here’s a site that has been monitoring the RegisterFly debacle, http://www.registerflies.com and they are reporting ICANN is about to announce some sort of agreement to allow folks who lost access to their domains to be able to access them again and move them away to responsible registrars.

There is a working link on registerfly.com website which details the steps to obtain the authorization code: https://registerfly.com/kb/?mode=detail&detailid=452213&id=2000&articleid=452212 Thought this might be useful for an existing Registerfly.com user to obtain the Authorization code for their domains.

I have many domains stuck there and my transfer requests to DH are failing due to "incorrect auth code". Now when the support is non-existent on RegisterFLy.com and no web links on their website to obtain an auth code, how does one go about obtaining it? Thanks in advance..

The problem I have is I have paid for 2 hosting packages with regfly and my domain name renewal and the bastard took my money... I just wish someone would post their address... so I could go collect my money back from them. If you are thinking of switching to DH I can tell you stop thinking and switch today!

I already have a DreamHost account with multiple domains in it. I have been able to salvage two of my domain names from Registerfly, but I still have about seventeen others with them that I cannot afford to transfer out. It seems like it would be cheaper for DreamHost and still helpful to the users if they still gave free Regfly transfers to already existing members to put on their existing accounts. No offense, but allowing only new customers to use the FLYAWAY promo seems more like a future investment for DreamHost rather than a knight in shining armor coming to save the RegFly customers. Why save some and leave the others to rot, especially when they've already invested time and money into DreamHost? I’m in the same boat as Ravi there.
