Network Solutions Renegs on FREE TRANSFER/YEAR Offer. Is this legal?

I'm sure they know that those reseller names won't be buying any other services like enhanced DNS, web-hosting or email services - but just squat there like silent vultures waiting to move to the next opportunistic carcass.

Beautiful, absoloutely beautiful...

my sentiments exactly


actually I've had a good experience transferring to netsol.

I had that initial problem where 50 names were rejected, stating that I had to sign up for a wholesalers / resellers account (I forget what they called it)

I did that and then for some reason those names went through

it was a little bit of a battle to get a lot of my names transferred some times I had to request 3 times or more

I actually had enom reject all my transfers going out and put a reg lock on them. I fixed that and later managed to transfer them


All things said and done;

I now have 206 domains in my network solution account

At an apparent retail cost of $19 x 206 $3914 at an actual cost of 6 x $19 or $1254

I've transferred a few out and to be honest I'm very impressed with NetSols customer service

Even when you don't have access to the VIP line they still address all problems within 24 hours.

Time will tell, but as of right now I like their service.

You can get low reseller pricing however, I was quoted $7.95, which is quite low for netsol but even at that price with other registrars I can do better and probably will pull there.

I would recommend people to use netsol if they are an end user because of their service. And end users want to pay more because they feel there is more security in it. That’s how it works usually.

But for resellers and huge volume or moderate volume in my case
19 per domain can get expensive.
Tying in with Moles comments it’s very true I will be moving within a number of months

But that’s the life of the domain reseller

I agree with Mole.

Netsol imo is "fair"

There are far worse.

Not a registrar but, try regfly :dead:
"FlySupport" is an oxymoron btw = )



Besides, NSI cateres to the small to large business.

Their aim is not geared towards resellers.
You can manage domains in the new CP rather well, and generally, companies arent transfering thier prorfolio form one registrar to another every few months.

And another bonus, which was my first attraction to NSI (back in the day), they have a wonderful site design.

design +the price + extensive advertising made me feel (long ago and still somewhat) that you are buying quality.

Most know, long ago, NSI was not quality

Their site design works wonders on me though : )
