Ken,

You may want to rethink that move to Go Daddy. They have a bad rep too. Checkout nodaddy.com for more info. I’ve had great luck with moniker.com so far.

This happened to me in January 2008. Doing a whois at Network Soutions caused them to register the name I wanted - apparently for 1 year. now they jacked up the price.

This is totally unethical of ICANN to allow these practices.

I tested it as well; it’s happening.

I’m in the process of moving my domain from NSI to GoDaddy; not only will I get more services for the money, but maybe this will teach NSI a lesson about trust, and how quickly it can be squandered.

Another issue; I manage a domain for my homeowner’s association. The association decided to get rid of their web site (a very short-sighted decision, but theirs to make) and I removed the web site. NSI parked a page full of advertising there; they were making money on my domain! I bitched them out about it, and they changed it to a generic “Under Construction” page. But I’d like to get back the money that THEY earned on a domain that _I_ paid for.

Won’t happen, of course. But I don’t have to associate with a company with slimy business practices.

Pathetic answer on the notification. You are notified in the account manager account page? I take this to mean you will not see a notice unless you already have an account. Yea, I am signing up right now, NOT!

Maybe I am one of the few who misunderstand your perfectly good intentions for all web users, NOT!

Hoping this is the downfall of Network Solutions. The financial downfall must have already begun and this is your corporate reaction to dwindling shares.

Go Daddy!!!
