It should just be a case of changing your domain's nameservers to point to another web host. As long as your domain registrar isn't also RegisterFly then that should be easily done. Barker,

Who is your domain registered with? It should just be a case of changing your domain’s nameservers to point to another web host.

As long as your domain registrar isn’t also RegisterFly then that should be easily done.

I've sent about ten messages-- I've stayed on hold for up to an hour to no avail.... they just never pick up. How can I get my hosting service switched to someone more reputable??

I mean come on they must be aware that the speed is amazingly slow. It takes 30 seconds to switch pages sometimes.. This has to be addressed.. And it really is making me re-think my future domain purchases. Yuup Altough I have had no gripes with the registerfly support I am extremely annoyed with the speed of their site.

Having said that, I've heard only positive things about NameCheap and they're not much more expensive than RegisterFly. Are you too late to try a transfer of your domain? As for calling them from outside of the US, all I can say is thank <a href="http://www.skype.com" rel="nofollow">Skype</a>! :) It’s so true, David; cheap hosting and domain registration is a false economy because when the stuff hits the fan, you’re left dealing with the monkeys you pay peanuts for.

The only reason I'm posting this is to save someone else lots of time in support requests. My domain was NOT expired and I had a few days to renew it. After 'quick' (yeah right) checkout kept failing I tried to cntact support (through a ticket since ringing from Australia I couldn't find an international number) which we also badly responded to and just closed. Anyway, I still haven't solved the issue and now my domain is down while Registerfly sits on their fingers saying the problem will be solved in 24 hours, 6 hours - 3 days ago!!! So, I would say make your choice wisely and find a registra which can provide good support when something bad happens. Unfortunately it's like paying insurance, you hate giving out money for nothing but when something bad ahppens you're covered. Same with costly hosting and registration. You might think you're saving money but in the long run it's costing you more time. I too have experienced GREAT frustration with Registerfly.
