@ Lemuel – this won’t change until ICANN follows through with it’s non-refundable registration fee.

I’ve just whois a domain in network solutions and it says the domain is available. after an hour or two i decided to have it registered to godaddy.com and look what i found. networksolutions had it registered on the very moment i queried that domain.

I work for an IT company in Makati City, Philippines, and one of the tasks I have is to register domains and arrange hosting for our clients. I manage over 20 websites hosted on Network solutions, and have been doing so for the past two years. I have had no warning from NetSol on front running and I can even say that they are the front runners themselves. The four days to release was not even true, as I first tried registering a domain on 22 January 2008 and by 12 March the domain was still locked under NetSol.

Now they have the warning popup — they didn’t have that back in january, and they lied too because the domain was locked for definitely more than 4 days.

I made the mistake of searching for a domain on networksolutions. I set up netsolfrontrunning.com to warn folks.
