Registrar notice?

Mike Deep

I just received this email:

This notification is to let you know that some or all of the products you purchased from SmugDomains powered by GoDaddy will now be managed through Domains Priced Right®. Domains Priced Right offers the same great domain and service management tools, as well as friendly 24/7 Support. To resume management of these services, visit the Domains Priced Right home page and use the same username and password you used with SmugDomains powered by GoDaddy. If you have any questions or need assistance, please call us at +1 (480) 624-2500. Remember, Domains Priced Right promises excellent service, and your management tools will remain exactly the same. You simply have a new place to manage your account.

I'm not going to provide my credentials to a website that sends an unsolicited email unless SmugMug corroborates it. Is this in error and is it 2009 again?

Wondering the same thing and I got that same message.

I just got this reply from Smugmug when I asked about it:

"It looks like this email may have been sent out accidentally by GoDaddy and we are looking into it. There is nothing you need to do on your end and this should not affect your site in any way. You can disregard the email and you should be able to login the same way you always have at Smugdomains shortly. We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
If you need anything else, please let us know!"

I can confirm that this message was accidentally sent out by GoDaddy. You do not need to take any action. If you received this email, GoDaddy will be sending a follow-up email to confirm that your domain is still part of SmugDomains/GoDaddy.

The other issue is (as of right now), if you go to https://smugdomains.smugmug.com/ and click on 'Log in to SmugDomains' it redirects to a dead page: https://mya.secureserver.net/default.aspx?prog_id=smugmug
I believe that was the correct link in the past because I bookmarked it, but it's just not working right now. If I just need to wait a bit while it's fixed, ok...

This page isn’t working
mya.secureserver.net redirected you too many times.

UPDATE to this post (reply from smugmug in email):
"I just spoke with GoDaddy and while the have fixed the main issue, it can take up to 24 hours for the domain login to work again. They are hoping it is much quicker, but at this time it is still not working."

Glad to hear that this email was a mistake, as I also received it.

That was the email letting you know you're still on SmugDomains and not on "Domains Priced Right". You don't need to take any action.
