Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - May 30, 2007 - Domain registrar and web hosting firm, GoDaddy, has agreed to assist RegisterFly, by relocating over 850,000 customer web site names, to GoDaddy.com.

The agreement with RegisterFly and ICANN to transfer over RegisterFly’s portfolio of web site names to GoDaddy.com, is hoped to help resolve problems involving hundreds of thousands of domain names around the world.

RegisterFly customers have been affected by recent problems and the impending loss of RegisterFly’s accreditation as a domain name registrar. GoDaddy.com will notify RegisterFly customers of the switch and automatically move their domains for them. Customers can get support and answers to any questions they have at a dedicated GoDaddy.com hot line and a designated welcome web page. Once the switch is complete, more than 850,000 domain names will have been moved.

Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy.com remarked, ”We worked with ICANN to effect a migration of the RegisterFly domains to GoDaddy.com and help those customers left in limbo. It’s what many RegisterFly customers asked us to do. After they are moved over to GoDaddy.com, all RegisterFly customers will once again be able to manage and renew their domain names with confidence and will also enjoy the world-class support we provide all our customers. We expect the move to be completed over the next week.”

Dr. Paul Twomey, President and CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) explained, ”The RegisterFly situation has been extremely difficult - first and foremost for registrants, as well as for the entire registry and registrar community. The GoDaddy.com agreement is the best possible solution for RegisterFly customers since it’s a direct and automatic transfer to a competent and experienced customer service oriented organization.”

Those who still go to the RegisterFly Web site will be directed to GoDaddy.com for managing and renewing their domain names. However, some RegisterFly customers had chosen to move their domain names to GoDaddy.com even before this deal.

Sean Gallagher, CEO of Web design company ATLWebSite.com and former RegisterFly customer added, ”After I had some issues with my domain names, I decided to transfer over to GoDaddy.com. The customer service I receive is exceptional. I have a lot of clients relying on me, and because GoDaddy.com is a safe, reliable and friendly registrar, I don’t have any problems.”

GoDaddy.com is working with the generic top-level domain registries, such as dot com and dot info, now holding RegisterFly names to make sure the transfer goes smoothly. New GoDaddy.com customers with questions can call a 24-hour dedicated hot line at 480-366-3500, or at www.godaddy.com/welcomeregisterfly.
