Go Daddy to run RegisterFly
p2pnet.net news:- GoDaddy.com says it’ll take over and manage more than 850,000 domain names belonging to customers of “embattled registrar RegisterFly,” says Netcraft.
“We worked with ICANN to effect a migration of the RegisterFly domains to GoDaddy.com and help those customers left in limbo,” it has GoDaddy.com boss Bob Parsons saying.
Go Daddy now manages more than 20 million domain names, and more than four million customers using its domain name registration, Web site hosting, SSL certificates and related products, it says.
“RegisterFly’s web site management system stopped working properly in February during a business dispute between company founder Kevin Medina and business partner John Naruzewicz, who claimed that he owned 50 percent of RegisterFly and said the company’s board had fired Medina,” states Netcraft.
“At the direction of ‘new CEO’ Naruzewicz, the company filed a lawsuit accusing Medina of mismanagement and misuse of company funds. Medina denied all charges, saying he remained the sole owner of RegisterFly. A Newark, N.J. court agreed, awarding sole control of the company to Medina.”
But, the move won’t solve the company’s operational problems, story points out, adding:
“ICANN stripped RegisterFly of its accreditation, but had to resort to court action to force Medina to accept a transfer to another registrar. On Friday United States District Court Judge Manuel L. Real issued a permanent injunction against RegisterFly, clearing the way for today’s transfer.”
