Domain name is a property that can be subject to theft anytime soon if you aren’t really careful. This is called domain hijacking.

Domain hijacking is an illegal activity. It involves stealing somebody else’s personality to allow him to trick those domain registrars. He does this by submitting a false transfer request to the registrar until it can provide the hijacker the full controllership of the domain. Once he gets this control, he becomes the new sole owner of the domain name.

I have waited for an email from godaddy but nothing came so I went back to their welcome page and played around until I got my domains back. Here is what you should do:

1 - Make sure you are logged out from your old godaddy account if you have one.

2 - Goto:  Get the customer number.

3 - Type in one of your domains that you had with regfly. Type in the security access code and click continue.

4 - Check your email. The email you used with your regfly account.

GoDaddy.com® has announced that it will take over the entire portfolio of more than 850,000 generic top-level domain (gTLD) names held by RegisterFly.ICANN’s understands that GoDaddy.com and the gTLD registries holding RegisterFly names have worked out the mechanics for restoring, renewing, and redeeming names intending that no names will be inadvertently dropped. According to the terms of the transfer agreement, RegisterFly domain names and the data underlying the available proxy service will also be transferred.

Why choose a short domain name !?
Simply because most people can’t remember long domain names. Try to register the shortest name you can, this way you will make it easier for your visitors to remember it and come back. You might want to register one word that has no meaning but easy to read or you might want to register 2-3 words related to your product name & business.

Domain names can only contain letters, numbers, and dashes. I recommend avoiding numbers and dashes.
