Hmm... maybe they just didn't have the time to put up a "temporarily down" page?

All their pages, including bookmarks I have to WHOIS are broken.

I'm in the middle of a very important domain transfer ... UGGH!

It looks like they just put up a "planned maintenance" page.

Someone there must be reading this board. :)

That seems strange to me?
I would have thought there would be notice of maintenance if it was scheduled?
I was accessing their site this afternoon around 6pm (CST)
Geezh!! This isnt helping a client of mine in trying to get her domain transfer done, UGH!!:mad:

You would also have thought (if it was "scheduled" maintenance) they would have put up a target time when they would be back online.

I've noticed most areas of their site are working now, despite the "down for maintenance" home page. http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/site-map/

Network Solutions is the ***** of registrars. Don't ever deal with them unless you have to. There are many alternative registrars which offer better prices, and more service.

Get used to it. You will often find NSI up, and their own whois down, or the other way around. Their site has been verry unstable this last 8 months or so.

It is nothing new... that is why Millions won't use them anymore.

NSI is absolutely the worst registrar out there. They use too many gestapo tactics. And their whois is the most unstable in the industry. Its a like a yoyo. Up one minute, down the other!

Ohh, and one more thing. You would think the biggest and most profitable registrar would have the best system in place. The majority of NSI clients don't have a control panel yet. Only their "new" clients have them.

I had a client of mine contact NSI and ask about the control panel, and NSI told him they wanted $30 for him to be able to use it.

Today I received a cc of an email sent to "http://www.nic.us" by one of our client. In brief the message was that - this is his third request to transfer his .us domain. He filled the necessary form three times from last several weeks with no result. Please help.

I will personally try to contact these people regarding this matter and see how it goes.

any experience with .us nic. So far I know these domains are registered by Network Solutions only.
