RegisterFly customers have been plagued with recent problems and the impending loss of RegisterFly's accreditation as a domain name registrar, after repeated violations of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement. Go Daddy 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 Go Daddy hot line and a designated welcome Web page. Once the switch is complete, more than 850,000 domain names will have been moved. From now on, those who visit the RegisterFly Web site will be directed to godaddy.com for managing and renewing their domain names.

"We worked with ICANN to effect a migration of the RegisterFly domains to GoDaddy.com and help those customers left in limbo," says Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO and founder. "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."

Go Daddy recently announced it saw record growth rates, registering a total of one million domain names in April alone.
