Surely if NSI are claiming this is simply a service for their potential customer to allow them time to make up their mind about purchase - any potential customer would be able to make this purchase at the usual rates ie. $8-10

I got caught in the Network Solutions scam yesterday and it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth being denied the opportunity to choose your registrar and having to pay more than three times the common rate for registration.

I emailed them once registration was confirmed and indicated that I thought their practice of registering or trapping names that had been searched for at their site was unethical and that I would try to warn as many people as I could. I have not had a response.

I believe that what we are experiencing with Network Solutions is evidence that, when a company can’t compete on innovation, service and price, an unethical company will resort to scams.

I don’t care about the VP Ethics spin - if it looks, runs and stings like a scam - then it’s a scam!

They are a BBB company. This is ridiculous. They are not protecting their customers, they are forcing you to become a customer by ransoming your domain, using privileged information.

I managed hundreds of domains and have registered many thousand more in my career. Needless to say, I’m not a noob, but I was shocked and appalled by Network Solution’s behavior.

I can assure you that I will never do business with Network Solutions after this. I have also advised all friends and colleagues to avoid Network Solutions as well.
