Extract from the site: So what is this site anyway? Well, it's a site that was developed due to, not one, but many angry Registerfly customers from all over the world. Many of us come here as domain owners and webmasters and have dealt with the aformentioned company - Registerfly, for many years. Most of us did our best to be patient and understanding as we were customers of Registerfly and relied on them for the safety and trust of managing our domain names. That trust has been broken time and time again, and we've run out of patience. Hence the birth of Registerflies.com. Please REGISTER to post in the forum and join the fight against this unethical internet domain name and hosting company. They chose not to listen..... Maybe they can hear us now!
