How to deceive your clients with a professional domain name registration service
Jan 13th, 2008 by RedPepper
Network Solutions LLC, a business that offers Internet domain names registration services is facing criticisms for holding some in reserve as a consumer-protection measure, a move that also prevents interested parties from shopping around for better prices.
After weeks of testing, Network Solutions LLC began this week to grab domain names that people search for on its website but don’t immediately register.
The domain name is locked up for about four days, during which the person who made the search can buy it directly from the company for $35 a year – a few times more than what many of its rivals charge. After that, the name returns to the pool and can be registered by anyone through any registration company.
