Fuck NetworkSolutions ! Underhanded CUNTS!

[TGITC]

Don't go near NetworkSolutions for domain names!

Here's why... Go along to network solutions using the link below
http://www.networksolutions.com (http://www.networksolutions.com)

Choose a name, anyname... Make it up... Anything at all...
I used 'BeerandBollocksTestingToday.com' but use something else...
Just make sure whatever you are going to search for HASNT been registered...

OK, so you've searched... The domain name you want is available yeah?

WAIT Just ONE Minute...

Now, goto whois.sc and put in your domain name... To fin out who owns it... Its obvious that it will be available yeah?
I mean, you only made up the name less than a min ago?

Well guess what? Its already been regged by Network solutions! If you want it, YOU HAVE TO BUY IT FROM THEM... Cunts!

Try it... I thought it was a joke at first, but its not... Whatever you search, THEY REGISTER withing 1 Minute... To hold you to ransom ! Cunts !!!

Another reason not to use one of the oldest, and most trusted (yeah right) domain sellers on the net !!!

Outrageous shit -

[spann0]

I wouldn't expect anything less of these fuckers

you can buy domains and delete within 5 days so they are probably "tasting" the name making you buy it

[psl]

Wankers.

I use names.co.uk and never had anything like that happen.

The 'official' line from Net Sol is

Jonathon Nevett, Vice President of Policy at Network Solutions, has offered the following in response to the news break:

“I’d like to clarify what we are doing. In response to customer concerns about Domain Name Front Running (domains being registered by someone else just after they have conducted a domain name search), we have implemented a security measure to protect our customers. The measure will kick in when a customer searches for an available domain name at our website, but decides not to purchase the name immediately after conducting the search.

After the search ends, we will put the domain name on reserve. During this reservation period, the name is not active and we do not monetize the traffic on these domains. If a customer searches for the domain again during the next 4 days at networksolutions.com, the domain will be available to register. If the domain name is not purchased within 4 days, it will be released back to the registry and will be generally available for registration.

This protection measure provides our customers the opportunity to register domains they have previously searched without the fear that the name will be already taken through Front Running.

You are correct that we are trying to take an arrow out of the quiver of the tasters. As you know, domain tasters are the largest Front Runners. Due to no fault of registrars, Front Runners purchase search data from Internet Service Providers and/or registries and then taste those names. Some folks may not agree with our approach, but we are trying to prevent this malicious activity from impacting our customers.”

I remember when NetworkSolutions was the only one.

[Relentless]

godaddy does it as well.

For name checks I use http://www.pcnames.com

It's AJAX based which is snazzy for name lookups and so far ive never had one taken from me.

Wouldn't it be more logical to (attempt to) register domain names confidentially - maybe using a pswd to access a form that only you can see? Then you're the only one who knows it (assuming it isn't already in use) to prevent assholes from stealing your name.

They made a total racket out of this back in 2001. Used to be dirt cheap to get a domain name.

[JT]

we have been talking about this for the last few days, Ive not noticed it before, but its something we have noticed the last few days. But it looks like the name are released again after 5 days or so, it all very odd
