How long does network solutions hold domains for and what is the best way to get it?
There is a domain name which is expired since November 29th, 2002. I know it's been put on hold. When will network solutions let it go? And... what is the best way to grab it when it's released? Will netsol hold onto it for a year? Or do they just hold onto it for 30 days? Im wondering, cause December 29th will be 30 days and Ive heard thats when alot of registrars release.

No way
Forget it if the domain you want is with Verisign. Unlike most other registrars, they very often hold names for more than a year, some reportedly for 2-3 years, but almost never in 45 days or less.

They have some domains on hold for over 3 years - but most slip by them.
Average drop for NetSol is 9.7871 days - I got that from a guy who checked the the root who is daily.

would snap names be the best way to go for it? I dont really care if it takes 6 months or a year, as long as networksolutions doesnt sell the name or take it for themselves. Its a pretty nice name :/
Snapnames is alot though, $70 for one name!!!!!Sincerely,

Thus... you know.
Ofcourse I could be profoundly wrong once again.
