Network Solutions are total idiots. I've registered my domain name through RegisterFREE, and NSI is refusing to register my nameservers in their own database. Now anyone that registered their domain name, through NSI can't point there domain to my server, any suggestions?

Yeah. best bet is to setup your DNS servers properly. You probably have some sorta forwarding thing going on don't you? Also this won't work with any overseas registers either. Sucks. But then so does Network Solutions. Better fix your dns though.

Another satisfied customer of Network solutions!! I wouldn't do business with them if it was free.

We got all our domains out of there earlier this year just to avoid this sort of thing.

I'm with Tabernack on this one, even if Network solutions was free i'd stay away. In fact, I don't think the frustration would be worth it if they even paid me the $35/year to use them. There are registrars that will get the job done with far less effort and annoyances.

yes, old Grandpa NetSol isn't keeping up with the times too well is he :)

Not only are they a pain to work with they will try to steal your customers.

If you register domains with them they will use the email contact info to make special offers including hosting.

How's that for partnership. The OPENSRS guys don't do this and that's why we use them.

Anybody else experience this?

Hi everyone,

Here is an interested tidbit that relates to Verisign spam.

I had a customer two weeks ago transfer several domains over to me that were about to expire. Now he is getting notices from NetSol that his domains are about to expire, that he must pay the $35 renewal fee, etc, etc.

Even though the transfer was made, and NetSol has NOTHING to do with his domains anymore, it still makes my client nervous because he isn't sure what is going on. I know that they use these business practices and that his domain is safe, but he was a bit concerned.

My question is this - the customer transferred his domain to us, so he doesn't owe NetSol one cent. I wonder what would happen if he sent NetSol a check for $35? Would they refund it? Scratch their heads and deposit it anyway when they got it?

Food for thought......

Patrick, he will get email and snail mail notices (3 of them), and yes, it kinda freaks you out a bit. Freaked me out a bit (since I transfered it at the last second, heh).

I also wonder what would happen if they got a check???

Like any good disorganized unethical company, they'd deposit it and not think twice about it.

And they say that they'll refund any payment made under those circumstances.

I'm not saying any of that is true, I'm just saying that's their story. It sounds little different anyway from the old scam of sending bills for office supplies that were never ordered to a few hundred companies with the expectation that a few of those bills will be erroneously paid. Only difference is, they have built in an excuse.




P.S. No he's not
