Warning About Checking Domain Names at Network Solutions
{ January 14th, 2008 }
This is a warning to those using Network Solutions to check if certain domain names are available.
Seems they now reserve each domain that is searched on their site for five days. Thus, forcing you to buy it from them in that time period. Plus, they charge approximately three times as much as more competitive registration companies (e.g. GoDaddy, NameCheap) for a (1) year registration. You have been warned.

Is reserving a domain-name free of charge? If it isnt this seems like a very expensive strategy that probably wont be that effective in the long run, and if it isnt free I guess it somehow violates the policies of the top domains.

I’m not sure but the prices they charge per year (approx. $25 more) will probably more then cover their costs if only 2 out of every 100 order. I’m sure they get one heck of a bulk discount.
