CFI Website


Does anyone know what happened to the CFI website? It was operational yesterday, but today, every link to a CFI domain leads to some parked page full of advertising - and not for CFI.

The main site, www.CFIinstallers.com, is a Network Solutions website that is a kind of directory full of ads about non-flooring related stuff. I spoke with someone at CFI yesterday, on the phone, and I think they said something about that company being their new host, but a host shouldn't take down a site and replace it with their own income generating pages, even if the site is in transition.

It's just odd and I hate to see that kind of advantage taken of any flooring pro. Maybe I'm just losin' it though, so if anyone has some legitimate information they can pass on, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah! Should leave up the old site until the new one is constructed. Looks bad.

That's Rolandieze cp , I believe he means they are undergoing a face lift and for the time being the site is parked. At least I think that's what Roland means

Re: CFI Website


That's right, the domain was parked on the Network Solutions server. Sure seems like they take advantage of situations like that - full of ads and popups and doesn't say anything about the website except "coming soon" if you look at the tiny lettering in the corner.

Anyway, the CFI site is up again.

Still pretty goofed up. Some of the pages load with code: CFI Inspector Member Search
