'''[[RegisterFly]]''' was a domain name registrar. Its accreditation was terminated by ICANN in 2007 due to massive customer complaints and violations of provisions in the [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]] (RAA).

'''[[Shared Registry System]]'''('''SRS''') refers to a system in which an unlimited number of registrars may compete in the domain name registration business by using one shared registry. The SRS came into existence in October 1998 when the United Sates [[DOC|Department of Commerce]] (DOC) and [[Network Solutions]] amended their co-operative agreement, originally stating that Network Solutions was the sole [[Registrar|registrar]] and [[Registry|registry]] administrator for [[TLD|top-level domains]] such as [[.net]], [[.org]], and [[.com]].<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/accreditation-history.htm ICANN Accreditation History]</ref> It was a cooperative effort between Network Solutions and the U.S. Government to introduce competition into the arena of the registration of second-level domain ([[SLD]]s) in the .net, .com, and .org TLDs.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/instructions-10sep10-en.htm icann.org]</ref>

 

The uproar over RegisterFly was the spur for ICANN to extend the operations and scope of [[Contractual Compliance]] to include regular audits of registrars and registries for conformity to ICANN's RAA and [[Registry Agreement]].
