I’ve received a number of emails from registrars asking how and when their customers will be able to transfer names out of Registerfly. Here’s the latest information:

• Registerfly told us on 9 Mar 07 that customers with names on the Registerfly cred can now log into their control panels at registerfly.com to obtain auth-info codes and unlock their names. (Instructions for obtaining an auth code from Registerfly.) Please email me if your customers continue to have problems obtaining auth codes. Screenshots would be helpful.
• Registerfly customers with names on the eNom cred can contact eNom to obtain auth codes and disable transfer-locks. Customers with names at eNom who used Registerfly’s Whois privacy service should be able to get auth codes from either eNom or Registerfly early next week (possibly by 12 Mar 07).
• Registerfly’s port 43 and web-based Whois services are currently not functioning, preventing use of FOAs for .com and .net names. Registerfly has promised to fix this problem as quickly as possible.

I will update this space when there is more to report.
