RE: Praying for Divine Intervention Against Registerfly

["Larry Seltzer" <Larry () larryseltzer com>]

Oh, I bet I get it. Perhaps it had been registered with Registerfly and
the domain was transferred over to GoDaddy (as all Registerfly domains
are supposed to have been) and then GoDaddy took it down because it
expired? Or the hosting service (seems to be WildWestDomains) took it
down?

Someone needs to tell these folks to pay GoDaddy

Something's weird there. I guess it looks expired? No contact info, but
no sign of Registerfly either

For anyone who has been keeping up with the whole RegisterFly fiasco,
this is kind of... twisted.

- From New Orleans' NOLA.com:

"Ticket sales for the Randy Travis concert to be held at the Castine
Center in Mandeville Sunday abruptly halted Wednesday when the ticketing
portal at cornerstonecares.com was hijacked by a domain name
registration company operating as Registerfly.com.

Cornerstone Church pastor Doug Gilford said he is disheartened.... 'It
is a travesty to have such a great opportunity as the Randy Travis
concert thwarted by a company's total disregard for others. I am praying
that God will show his might at this 11th hour for us,' Gilford said."
