If you were a customer of RegisterFly you are now keenly aware of the problems with the domain registration business. As the company disentegrated from internal management struggles many people were unable to access their domains. Some advice for protecting yourself is:

1. Check the reputations of your prospective registrar.

2. Be careful registering your domain with a hosting company.

3. If you must make your whois information private then use a 3rd party privacy service.

4. Do NOT allow your registrar or hosting company or designer to have any stake in your domain whois records.

5. Make certain your whois information is accurate so you can be contacted should complications arise.
