Although it sounds lucradive,

I am not sure it's worth the trouble of having domains @ NSI

"Network Solutions reserves the right to change or cancel this promotion at any time without notice."

And you can bet they will..

**Rocket2Uranus** · 10-21-2003, 07:42 PM

hmmm... so NS is asking us to sell them our soul for the equivilant of a $7 enom purchase, to be followed by a lifetime of bondage.

I don't think so. Homey don't play that.

**actnow** · 10-21-2003, 09:17 PM

I am sure they have a stipulation that the domain must stay there
a certain amount of time.

I wrote to them. But, they sent me a form letter back. Which did
not answer the question.(Strike 1).

My biggest concern is, how difficult it would be to transfer out.

And, can you point your domain for free to a isp?

I have heard that they make it difficult to transfer out.

So, that is why I haven't taken them up on their deal.

Has anyone transferred out within the past couple months?

**alia** · 10-21-2003, 10:58 PM

I would do it only if they take .cn domains, I have 143 of them.

**actnow** · 10-21-2003, 11:09 PM

143 X $ 25.00

That is a lot of money for renewals.

**.biz** · 10-21-2003, 11:25 PM

NetSol has a new owner. This is its first strategy to get back its old customers

**.com.net.org** · 10-23-2003, 09:45 AM

Anyone has tried to transfer their name to NSI ? :-D

**actnow** · 10-23-2003, 10:40 AM

Yes, I transferred a couple mediocre names out of registerfly to Network Sol. . RegisterFly sent me a notice to renew in 45 days.

So, I renewed them thru Network Sol. for nothing.

I think their normal special renewal price is $ 19.00

I don't think I would transfer an "excellent name" to them.

Because, I am sure it will be difficult to transfer out. And, pushing
it within Network Sol. will probably be difficult.

Plus, they do not want "resellers". So, that might cause a problem
in the future.

You just reminded me to transfer my crap names to NS. :-D

I transfered the last domains I had at NS about 2 months ago, went very nicely.
no problem transfering out.
but I have no idea if indeed there are new owners at NS, what the deal is now.

**StockDoctor** · 10-23-2003, 07:06 PM

I am still trying to transfer out a number of names from NS after two months. I went thru all their bull with the required fax etc. and they just sent a form email letter with boxes checked as to why they didn't do the transfer. Was all crap. Also, I find it almost impossible to get them to send me auth codes. They will have to come up with something much better than "free" to scam me into letting them "steal" any more of my names.

I tried RegisterFly's $4.99 transfer and moved two .biz from OpenSRS and other two from DotRegistrar to them, the whole procedure was completed within 24 hours.

**WebCat** · 10-24-2003, 05:18 AM

My Recommendation ? STAY AWAY from Network Soultions!

They are the worst! I have one more poor little hostage domain trapped there, because it is a .ws and you can't transfer them. They suck suck suck!

This "free" transfer is a desperate attempt to get back some of the MILLIONS of domains they have hemmoraged out! Don't fall for it! Just let them bleed to death!

Remember these are the same people who are responsible for "sitefinder" fiasco, the monopolistic wls, and who bought the .tv registry, just so they could charge thousands for 1st registrations on "premium" .tv names.

Free transfer indeed!

With NSI, NOTHING is free.

**alia** · 10-24-2003, 05:31 AM

Why not transfer all our crap names to NS for free, and let them bleed worse?

**Temp** · 10-24-2003, 04:11 PM

Maybe the action ended,i think i has missed a good chance to save money.

**actnow** · 10-24-2003, 05:27 PM

They are still taking names. The trap door entrance is

http://www.networksolutions.com/en_U...kid=1000000000

I do plan to transfer some more "low value" names into Network SoL.

**alia** · 10-25-2003, 03:24 AM

Okay, I've transferred 135 of my 300+ newbie regged names to NS, as a part of my 'damage control'. :-D

**WebCat** · 10-25-2003, 06:06 AM

Alia, good luck! I hope you read ALL the fine print!

My mom always said, never do a deal with the devil!
