Re: Network Solutions holding domains hostage?
So I tried this myself with bbrtesttesttestdaddy.com.
I searched for it at GoDaddy. Said it was available and I could register it.
I searched for it at Network Solutions and got the same response.
I searched again at GoDaddy and it was "Unavailable" with no WHOIS information available (no response from the WHOIS server to GoDaddy's request).
All of this within 60 seconds.
I think it's two problems. 1) NetSol is locking up domains based on a search, not a purchase while other registrars are not doing that. 2) Front-Runners will be able to monitor for those types of holds and then squat on them.
Imagine if just searching the real estate ads kept anyone from buying a listed house for 5 days. Doesn't make much sense, does it. Sounds and smells like pure greed.
EDIT: Now visit »bbrtesttesttestdaddy.com and you won't even get a 404 anymore. You truly get a hijacked lookup.
