Avoid Network Solutions like the plague!
January 9th, 2008
It’s recently come to my attention that Network Solutions is engaging is some pretty unethical business practice, and they’re using your time and work to profit from it! It works like this. You visit Network Solutions to see if a domain name that you’re interested in buying is available, and as luck would have it, the name you want is. So you’re about to register it but you then find out that there are companies like Go Daddy who offer the exact same product at about one third of the price, so you hop over to their website to buy the domain, only to find out that it’s no longer available. Why? Because when you entered the domain search at Network Solutions, they registered it for themselves so that you would be forced to buy it from them rather than another, more ethical domain registrar.
You may ask yourself why a company would resort to these types of extortion tactics. The answer is quite simple - they are selling the same exact thing as their competitors at three times the price. Congratulations Network Solutions, you’ve won the dirtiest registrar ever award!
