Something's weird there. I guess it looks expired? No contact info, but
no sign of Registerfly either

For anyone who has been keeping up with the whole RegisterFly fiasco,
this is kind of... twisted.

- From New Orleans' NOLA.com:

"Ticket sales for the Randy Travis concert to be held at the Castine
Center in Mandeville Sunday abruptly halted Wednesday when the ticketing
portal at cornerstonecares.com was hijacked by a domain name
registration company operating as Registerfly.com.

Cornerstone Church pastor Doug Gilford said he is disheartened.... 'It
is a travesty to have such a great opportunity as the Randy Travis
concert thwarted by a company's total disregard for others. I am praying
that God will show his might at this 11th hour for us,' Gilford said."
