Domain Names and Hosting Fun!
For the last week I have been dealing with the biggest headache. My domain registrar Registerfly has always sucked. The only reason I stayed with it was the fact I had started using them when I first got into the web. I accumulated so many domains that I didn’t want to spend the money to transfer.
I am changing host this last week and wanted to transfer my domain names as well. It turns out that Registerfly has become the worst domain registrar ever. First they loose their ICANN accreditation, since then the owner, Kevin Medina has decided to take control of people domains by deleting them, not unlocking them for transfer and they are currently under a class action lawsuit. I knew I should of just transferred back in January…
I don’t even know if I will have this domain anymore. It says that the transfer has initiated but who knows if it will work. Two of my other domains are unlocked in the Registerfly control panel but I got errors from my new registrar, saying they are locked. Of course Registerfly isn’t responding to the support tickets and emails, though I expected this because its the main problem people are having.
Besides that, I have moved to a great new host, Media Temple. I have seen so much about these guys on other blogs, of which I highly respect. I figured I would give them a go and I am truly happy. I think everyone should check out their great hosting, its different then any other hosting I have seen in the past. I got the Grid Server hosting, which offers the following
- 100 GBs of premium storage
- 1 TB of short-path bandwidth
- Host up to 100 individual sites
- 1000 email accounts
- 64 MB Ruby/Mongrel container
- Money Back Guarantee
All for just $20 a month, also I would say its the best control panel I have used. I will keep you guys updated with the experience I have with them in the future.

umm.. i dont wanna pee on your MediaTemple parade, but i’ve got a domain hosted there that’s given me no end of email unhappyness. comcast has a blanket ban on any email domains that live in the MT ip space, which means you wont be able to get any emails thru to comcast addresses using email accounts you host with MT.
im serious!
maybe the grid servers have a different enough IP space for this to not be a problem? thought you should know…

I’m going to have to look into all that and make sure my emails don’t get all messed up. Thats the main reason I switched from a friends server, because some people weren’t getting through to my inbox.
In some other news, I successfully transferred this domain and another one of my businesses to my new registrar. Now I just have two others that for some reason won’t get unlocked from RegisterFly.
