    As I had deal with US business for the last 30 years, I had never seen such rude and unhelpful CS responses. I ordered an SSL service from Network Solutions, but according to the instruction and I cannot locate the SSL configuration button at the management interface. I noticed it should be something wrong with the user interface and open a service call. Since I was needing this SSL cert in urgent, I went ahead and order one from register.com (eventually it is the same company).

    On the next day, I got the reply and a fix on my user interface. But I mentioned that I don't need this service anymore. I didn't ask for a refund but asked to stop the auto-renewal, in order to prevent from future charges. I received a standard message mentioning that I need to call their loyalty department in person, unless "If you are a customer outside of the USA or Canada and you're unable to call, you can submit an online support request from [CS URL] stating you wish to cancel your services." Then, they closed my CS ticket.

    OK, I open another ticket and stating that I am currently resides in Hong Kong and wish to cancel the service and quoting the message above (actually this is what I was referred). Then, I got the same message replied (not a word changed) and closed my ticket again. I replied and reinstate that according to the instruction, I can cancel my service online if I don't reside in US and Canada and I am not able to call. Then, the third time, I received a simpler answer: I need to call 2.800.**. I don't know why it is so hard for just disabling the auto renewal service. My feeling is that once you ordered with Network Solutions, you will end up spending tremendous effort to end the business with them. I finally deactivated my PayPal with Network Solutions and gave up reaching their CS over and over again.

    I purchased a URL called DayStarters from Network Solutions for $3,000. But they made a mistake and sold me "DayStarter" (not plural). When we pointed out the mistake to them, they said that we should buy the correct one (plural) for another $3,000 and that the money for the one they mistakenly identified would be refunded. Now Network Solutions refuses to refund the extra $3,000 in spite of the fact that their employee has confirmed our representation. We have filed an appeal with American Express and since the appeal was filed Network Solutions has now suddenly retroactively linked the incorrect URL that we don't want (their mistake, remember?) to the one we want "DayStarters". Taking money for something we did not authorize and in fact their own salesperson affirmed that we did not authorize it is fraud. Buy URLs through Network Solutions at your own peril.

    Paid Network Solutions for SSL certificate and install end July. 2 days later site offline. Same thing happened Sept and then again in Oct. They said would only fix it if they were paid again on Nov 21st. Ransom paid but site stayed offline another 9 days (think they said their high level techs don't work weekends even though their website says 24/7 support). Web pages showed for 7 days but they emailed they needed to re image. Site now offline for another 4 days and now they say the service pay for MTS support... No idea what they are doing, they won't say and the error logs they provide show no errors. Sorry we ended up with them... My opinion is ANY OTHER WEB HOSTING COMPANY IS MORE LIKELY TO DELIVER ON THEIR PROMISES.

    I purchased a SSL for 1 year on June 28th and paid for 1 year. I clicked by error on an express SSL sometime later as I received from them misleading emails saying that I had to renew... I clicked in good faith but then realized I had to install this other one on my site and I would not do this. So last month they revoked the last one and as well mine which I paid for. Result I have to pay my web manager and lost money and time (I have about 500 emails to deal with/day) so I could and would not make this stupid calls to have someone after 15 min on the line to say they cannot help me and try to persuade me to buy another SSL with “some compensation”.

    Although being a gold VIP for year I am reconsidering the service at the whole and believe they are “crooks”! At least they do not deal with service and less with client’s complaints and their time. I have asked to transfer my email to their organisation to settle my claim and request at NO charge. This complaint comes after a previous one with a monthly Package of payments system that did not work on our website because it has been built up with ColdFusion. Any court in the US would give me a financial compensation of at least 5000$ as they really treated me like “**”. I am holding my heart beating in check when I will remove all my sites to other DNS providers! With angry regards, Manu.

    I have, like most reviewers on this site, been dealing with Network Solutions for ages, renewing my domain names when expired or as advised but I have always given my consent to renew any of my domain names. One of my domain names is scheduled to expire on Jan 29, 2019 and on November 24, 2018, I requested for this domain name to be transferred to another domain name service provider. I got a response on Nov. 29, 2018 that my domain name transfer request has been approved. So far so good.

    I was therefore surprised that Network Solutions decided to renew the same domain name for another year after agreeing to the transfer of the domain name to another provider. All efforts to get my money back has proved fruitless. Is this not a fraud. Judging by the number of complaints against this company, why has nothing been done. Why are they still allow to continue to trade?

    Our Domain Name Service Provider is Network Solutions. It takes up to 4 hours to apply the DNS record changes. Other DNS provider only need several minutes. These are tolerable. But a few days ago, we switched over the DNS service provider. It says: "Once you have made changes to your name servers at the registrar there will be 24-48 hours of DNS propagation time during which your website and email may not be available". And our website has been inaccessible for one day!!!

    Won an auction for a domain through NameJet that was registered with Network Solutions. Company overcharges for domain renewal/registration. Spams you with marketing emails. Tries to scare you into staying with them, instead of transferring out. Requested transfer code, and instead of sending it by email, they make you wait 3 days unless you call. They called me several times, so I called back and asked them to send the code. Got the code, requested transfer through NameCheap. Got an email from Network Solutions saying I had to wait another 3 days before they would initiate the transfer. An incredible waste of time. I would never use this company for my domains. I just happen to have the misfortune of dealing with them because an expired domain I bought was registered through them.

    I have been with them for over 10 years and it's getting so bad now I am forced to take my business to another host/register. They send deceitful emails as if red flag domain expiration. They sell you SEO on the front end, promise the world and after the money is not refundable change what they sold you completely, if there is an issue they will try to talk you in circles and never resolve the issue. I'm fed up with it for good. I'm moving my domains to another vendor and hosting elsewhere too...

    Wow more than 10 years of excellent service and over the last year hours and hours of support calls that go nowhere... If there was no star I would give it. I could get into the nitty gritty of all the details but I don't have the time to spend one more minuet on such a negative experience, I just need to take positive action and dig out of their hole. They count on the fact that going to another vendor is such a time consuming experience but these guys are killing me and my business.

    They send out 'marketing emails' that look like RED ALERT panic messages suggesting you are going to lose your domain. There is an attached phone number that channels you to premium support ($$) where you find out that you were good via auto-renew. The online cat idiots are trained to be helpless and funnel you into paid services you don't need. Avoid these satanic pirates like the plague - someone should find their executives and skin them alive.

    I have been a client of them for about a few years now and they are a terribly BAD company. My domain broker sometimes gets me domains registered with them so I have no other choice otherwise I would just run away. Among the bad things: Their renewal fees are just pure extortion. Just got charged 40$ last week on auto renew for a .com domain and on top of that they billed me 15$ for the privacy. 55$ for a .com domain wtf. Their auto renew kicks in like 90 days before renewal. If you forget to renew a domain, you are in for their crazy renewal fees + an extra 35$ to get them off a grace period or something.

    They use the dodgiest marketing practices on their website like sending you these "your domain is about to be canceled" emails when the domain only expires like in 4 month, and their checkout process is the most dishonest thing you will find anywhere else online with all the expensive add-ons ticked in case you don't pay attention. They take a freaking week to send you your auth codes for domain transfer. The list is just way too long but long story short please move your domains away and cancel your hosting with them so this company dies for good and we can have a better domain registration and hosting industry.

    I have only been with this company for 3 months and I canceled the first month and they still took out 69.00. Two months after that I tried getting my money back. The first time they wouldn’t and then I made Sure my stuff was canceled. After 40 mins on the phone they said, "You're canceled. Good to go." Well next month comes around and 69 gets taken out again! What a joke. They wouldn’t refund me so I had to go through my bank to stop payments. So if you want a company to steal money here you go!!! This was a big mistake. Lesson learned.

    I have been a customer since 1985 and was very satisfied since the change over to web.com. They are dishonest when it comes to check out after purchasing services. For example, on every transaction I double-check for things like "web forwarding" and "auto-renew"... every time selecting 1-year forwarding and rejecting auto-renew. Throughout the payment process they look fine, but then I come back a day later and very often they are the opposite I chose. I refuse to believe that such a huge company would have "glitches" in its system. I have had about 30 client accounts under my domain name. Not anymore. This one will be the last. Then going on to suffer my move to another hosting service.

    I've been a customer of theirs for years, back to when they were about the only option out there for domain name registration. Their renewal policies are horrid. I don't know how many times over the years I have specifically disabled auto-renew on domains, both on the web AND in person on the phone. And yet I STILL have domains auto-renewing! Today is the absolute last straw. I'm leaving them permanently and transferring my domain registrations elsewhere. A few months ago, despite specifically having auto-renew disabled, a personal domain of mine was auto-renewed on a company credit card and I had to jump through lots of hoops to get that canceled and refunded. Oh, and their prices are way too high compared to other registrars too. At least I hope. Can't log into the site at all right now, it just times out.

    I recently took a position at an organization with a domain registered with Network Solutions by a former employee. I changed the contact name, security questions, etc. with the goal of transferring the domain to GoDaddy since I was a lot more familiar with that registrar. As soon as I got done with all the changes with Network Solutions - and confirmed everything with their customer service people twice - and had everything set up with GoDaddy to get the domain transferred - including entering a code provided by Network Solutions, Network Solutions locked the domain and cancelled the transfer “due to suspicious activities on the account” (me changing all the contact info). I called their support 3 times and was given 3 different timeframes for the domain to get unlocked, from 2 hours to 30 days to 60 days. So they’re holding our domain hostage for an undetermined amount of time. They don’t even deserve 1 star.

    I purchased my domain name through NetworkSolutions.com about 4-5 months ago, paid over $450 for it. The domain doesn't expire for another 2 years... so no concerns with it expiring soon. I have not made any changes to the account, except to unlock it, which is required to get an authorization code. As I went through the process to get an authorization code, there were a couple of pop-up windows offering me a deal to stay and not transfer the domain name, I click continue to get the authorization code, instead of giving me an authorization code, it then says I have to wait 3 days. I immediately contacted support, they got back to me the next day saying I can call the authorization code much faster if I called. I told them I'm hearing impaired and can't use phones. They have not responded to both of my emails on that and still refusing to send me the authorization code. 3 days have passed and still no code.

    Every other domain hosting company I've ever dealt with in the past gives me an authorization code within minutes of requesting it online. Why would a big company like Network Solutions want to go through so much trouble to keep one person from moving their domain name elsewhere? They have so many already. Also, why would they give a hearing impaired/handicap person such a hard time as well. There must be laws in place to deal with companies refusing to work around people's handicaps. I'm very concerned that Network Solutions may try to hijack my domain name now. Even though I have a Bill of Sale from them, their actions now appear to be of desperate people doing unethical business.

    I've had several domains with Network Solutions; never did anything with them, just registered is all. I had set them all to auto renew. Several years later, I disabled auto renew on three of them. The problems: They auto-renewed DESPITE disabling. They auto-renewed 8 months BEFORE their expiration date. I had lost and replaced the credit card to which the NS account was linked; the provider, as a service they said, went ahead and allowed the charge. I have tried to disable auto-renew on the remaining domains: it keeps flipping back to "ok" to auto-renew.

    I had a nice 10-minute chat with NS service rep. who said she needed the new credit card number and then when I refused that she then said she needed to put me on hold and the call was then disconnected. I spoke to CC company and they will put a hold on auto payment for this vendor for 15 months and will also contact NS about the fraudulent charge. I hope it can be reversed. So, here's the lesson: Do not do business with Network Solutions.

    I created a user profile with a confidential email address for communication with NetSol. They used that email to notify me of a renewal (so now I think we have communication). They changed the email address they use to contact me, to the one that is public on WhoIs. Domain expires, notices go to fake email I listed for the spammers to collect from WhoIs. They charge me $35 for reinstatement (and $35 for domain). They will not allow me to move my domain away from NetSol, unless I put my contact email on the WhoIs (publicly available) so the SEO spammers and entire world can see my actual email address. They offer to sell me (surprise surprise) privacy at *another* charge.

    Network Solutions is an outright theft and fraud organization. Don't EVER EVER purchase anything from them. 20 years ago, okay. BY THE WAY, my account and domain have been there for 20 years. Not anymore. As soon as I calm down, you can bet I will take everything I have there off of their servers. Forever. I will automatically move all clients away from there. If I can find any other way to take business away from them I will. Including printing information flyers and inserting them into books at Fry's and Micro Center.

    I've had to use Network Solutions for work because their services is what they used to purchase websites. I'm giving them two stars for several reasons, all of which are completely fixable. I had to laugh when I saw their average review was one star. Here is why I am dissatisfied:

    1) You cannot opt out of their commercial email campaigns. According to their so-called "Privacy Policies", they are required to stay in contact with you regarding WHOIS/ICANN policies. I'm aware there are laws which require them to contact me every once in a while. The thing is they use this regulation as an excuse to send me junk mail and commercial emails I do not want every week, sometimes multiple times. At times, I have received at least 2-3 emails per week "reminding" me of services about to expire for various domains. I don't want reminders. I want to be unsubscribed.

    I deactivated my domains for a reason. I don't want or need to be reminded every week which ones are going to expire. I want to be taken off their lists but there is no way to do that via email or their website. See the accompanying images. If there is a method to unsubscribe, then it is buried somewhere inside their hugely convoluted and user-un-intuitive website, which brings me to my next point.

    2) Finding what I need when I want to manage domains on NS' site is a ridiculous chore. A few months ago I went into my panel and deactivated a ton of domain names. I thought the matter was settled and that I wouldn't be charged for them. About a month later, I was charged for services RELATED to the terminated domains - nearly $180 - services which I couldn't use if the domains were expired. I believe they were privacy services or something, not quite sure. So I had to call NS to have them reverse the charges, which they did to their credit. I'll give them one extra star for THAT consideration.

    All of this could have been avoided if they made their user interface easier to navigate, but nope. They have billing for domains in one section, and billing for other services in another which are directly related to each other. Even then, you aren't quite sure if the the domains have been terminated until you log out and log back in again. Is this 1998?

    3) Impossible to contact NS via email. I just found their "email" form, which turned out to be a 6 part SURVEY. After I was done with their survey, I got no indication they were contacted with my complaints, no indication of any further action on their part or whether they were looking into things. Image is attached for this as well.

    Note the 1 out of 5 star review from 94 different people. Does anyone at NS even take into account this extremely poor feedback? The inability to unsubscribe from email notifications is the most bothersome aspect of all of this, and the major thrust behind giving them a 1 star review. I only bumped it up to 2 stars once I realized they had resolved my domain issue and reversed the charges, but it shouldn't even have been an issue to begin with. Because they won't allow me to unsubscribe, all of their emails and notifications get marked as spam and thrown in the trash. This is the biggest complaint I have about them. No other company forces me to receive their email communications. They all comply with my wish to have my inbox uncluttered with irrelevancies. Once the remainder of my domains expire, I'm moving to a new registrar.

    I was a customer at Network Solutions for 15 years and I have seen the decline after they became a web.com company. You should be very careful when it comes to billing because they will happily charge you higher prices on renewal, and also withdraw multiple times for the same product. One such problem I experienced was that they added a free hosting service to my account without me needing nor wanting it. They did not give me the option to canceling it, but I was given the option of disabling the renew process. In the end they ignored the renew process and started charging me for a service I neither wanted nor needed, and they made sure that you could not disable the renewal until the next automatic renewal would take effect.

    I contacted them about this and they refunded me for one month and told me that they only pay back within 45 days of the purchase of the service, that I didn't need nor ever used. It took me months to relocate my domains from these scam artists and they made sure that it would take multiple calls and tickets to their helpdesk, with extra charges and occasional refunds. Do not expect the website to just work when you intend to leave or when you are trying to avoid extra charges for services you will never want nor need. You are not their customer, you are simply a short term wallet that they intend to drain before you run away to a real service provider.

    I've had an account with NS for nearly 10 years, with 2 domains, and most of that has been pure misery. The technology is outdated and full of bugs, and fixes generally aren't available because NS does not own the program, they lease it. When the program was "updated" several years ago it was incompatible with many browsers. It is now incompatible with MS Edge, so it only becomes worse over time. NS technical staff were/are largely incompetent with no knowledge of the software or how to accomplish anything, they resort to "you are pasting in formatted text" or "you are doing X wrong" as fallback. You can only stay calm for so long. How many times can you tell tech support "I am not doing X" and make them understand? It's because they are undertrained and have no "solutions" beyond the script.

    What do you do when you've spent hours working on your site with no accomplishment? What do you do when after hours, days, even weeks their "technical support" tells you "I don't know"? I submitted screenshots of how the formatting did not work. I spent nearly a year unable to edit my site without it breaking apart. Ultimately the vendor made changes based on my complaint but many of the features don't work, you can't preview, and must work in a lengthy "compatibility mode" which means that you must create your OWN workarounds for problems YOURSELF. Moreover, you can return to your site months later and find pages that have "broken apart" and are not stable, so they don't look as you left them or expect they exist as.

    It's very embarrassing because you never really have confidence in what your site is doing "behind your back." I made the choice to use NS after a lot of research and it seems as though it was based on dated information about their reputation. It is a decision I have regretted for years. Working with NS has sapped my energy and the only reason I haven't left is I would have to rebuild over 30 pages of content, one of which is more than 20,000 words, photos, etc. No more. I would rather struggle with that then continue with NS. Now they are taking days to issue a code so that I can transfer my domain? The drama and feel of being held hostage goes on and on.

    When using Network Solutions for a domain, they send near threatening and misleading emails about their services to scare customers into buying additional services as well as renew existing services. Some of the services they offer are standard to other domain registrar solutions such as protecting your personal contact information. Network Solutions wants to charge $15 per year for something any other registrar does as part of security. They also makes claims to prevent domain transfers and make obscure ICANN rules references then do not specifically point out the rules they claim to be enforcing.

    They change the timelines for domain changes, from 1-3 days, then after waiting 3 days, to 5-7 days, then at 7 days, to 7-10 days, and so on, while preventing your business from completing necessary work. If you are within a month of a domain expiration and intend of conducting a transfer to another registrar Network Solutions staff will explain that the domain tech staff only work limited hours per week and cannot assist. They will push these tactics until your domain expires than then explain that you need to renew before they can make any additional efforts. Network Solutions business practices are misleading, abusive, and corrupt.

    Short story, I purchase a premium domain from eBay, and the domain hosted at Network Solutions, so I create an account there. First, I never met dirty marketing like this in the past 10 years, especially from US company (in my mind, US company is the most professional and transparent). You'll see the big words said "Transfer your Domain to Network Solutions® Today for Only $9.99* And Get A Free One Year Extension", for non native speakers, they will tricked with that price, the truth is their price for domain registration is $37.99 per year, when all of domain registrar that I know only cost $9-$15. Their price not transparent, you can't see any price list before you sign in and add to chart, so you will wasting your time to realize their price is very expensive.

    Second problem is when I want to add payment method, both PayPal and CC rejected without any reason, I can't find any answer from their poor outdated help page. Contact via ticket, no answer, contact via live chat, the guy fast respond until I ask about my payment rejected, the guy close the chat session without any solution or even a sincere apologize, only a copy paste text to contact them via Phone, I don't need an apologize but any professional on earth know a standard operating procedure is a must, if you don't have a solution, a normal company will say a closing words, e.g. "Do you have another question, or do you need another help Sir?", "No", "Ok, thanks for contact us, bla bla bla...", not just dump the customer by close the chat session. The CS can represent this company has poor standard operating procedure, usually in my experience it represent the overall company quality.

    I called their support and spend around $50 for a couple minutes for international call, the CS said my credit card rejected because it's not unlocked for international transaction. The truth is I'm still using same card for international purchase and monthly subscription, my PayPal account is 10 years old and I made dozens transaction every month. What make me mad is the CS asked a couple times "What's your domain?" I answered, spelled each letters and after a while he asked the same question. I told him, the problem is not my PayPal or my CC, because I'm still using it, and then he asked me again "What's your domain?" I hung up! Yeah no solution at all.

    For overseas customers like me, it's very expensive to make a phone call to US, and if you don't want to help your customers via live chat or ticket, only offer a support from phone call, please put giant words "US customers preferred! Support only by phone call!" Please take a look their site, to send a ticket you must find the information on search engine, because at NS page, there's only a phone number for support. They don't have any blog, so we can't ask a help via comment form, they turn off the sign up for their forum, we can't asked there too, ticket doesn't works, live chat not good, even phone call support doesn't give any solution.

    I have dozens of premium domain at another registrar, no issue at all, live chat is amazing, it solved my problem in a couple minutes. I really hate to make a bad review like this, this is my first time to do that, I want to share to people to be careful with this company, or you will get a headache, washing time for nothing! The most important is support, if the support not good, I'm 100% it's not a good company, because they don't care about your issue, they only care about your money that you spend for their products. After 60 days period, I'll transfer the domain out and will never ever use Network Solutions again.

I finally spoke to someone and they said "we are calling to help you renew services." I said I didn't want this so they sent me to billing.

    I will be honest, I was frustrated at this point and wasn't as patient on the phone as I normally am. The gentleman I spoke to was rude to me and said he could not do anything about me getting renewal notices. I said, "So I am going to get notified by you guys every summer then?" He rudely responded with a no and said my domain name expires July 6th 2017 so that's why I was getting notifications. My domain name has been expired for years!

I contacted Network Solutions and explain what was happening and try to renew the domain name. I was told that I needed to fax a letter from one of officers along with a current bill and I even enclosed a copy of our state tax ID and had everything notarize as per their request. I pay for the renewal of the domain name $39.99 and a reinstatement fee of $35.99 and the WHOIS privacy fee of $9.99 for a total of $85.97.

    A couple of days later, the domain name was renew and I thought "great, we can update the council website and life will be good". NOPE. Network Solutions place a Legal Lock on our domain name saying that there was a dispute and that in order to protect the domain name, I will have to court and have the matter clear before Network Solutions could release the domain name.

    To make a long story short, Network Solutions was saying that there was a copyright problem with ourselves. We would have to go to court against ourselves to resolve the problem. Trying to explain what was happen was of little help in trying to fix the problem. Network Solutions has told me that they would contact me. I have provided them with my home phone, mobile phone number and email address. The result nothing. I have contacted my credit card company and put a hold on the charge, thinking that may speed up the process, nope. Nothing.

I have spent the last 3 days placing more than 10 calls to their service centers, with each call lasting approximately 1 -2 hours. My website designer was also included in the call but to no avail.

There's no way to get them back. They are extremely cagey about why their spam filter doesn't like me. They agreed to "white list" me as a sender - didn't help. Note that real spam does just fine getting through their 'spam filter.'

    Much of the spam is missing its 'to field' and when I unsubscribe demands to know which email address to unsubscribe. Until today, it was possible to do a right click, select 'view page source' and look for the 'apparently to field'. Now they've effectively removed that service and are willing only to show source for the body of the email - with all line breaks removed by the way. Perhaps the spammers complained and/or paid for an upgrade.

Well something happened and the domains never renewed themselves, and I had to manually do it - still no big deal. I decided to only renew 1 since the others I never used anymore. I was charged an extra "reinstatement" fee which several people I talked to said could not be removed...

Another discrepancy I came across was the expiration of the domain listed on Net Solutions's site to the whois site - the difference was a whole year! When I asked them about it they had said, "That doesn't matter, what matters is what our site says." That really left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Lastly, I get 2 emails today saying those other two expired domains have been renewed! How did those 2 magically get renewed when the other one hadn't? Plus I was charged another reinstate fee!

It was important that I change my contact information as the email address listed went to a "dead account", so we didn't get invoices and our website went down when it wasn't paid on time.

    I was never able to speak with the same person twice. I asked - they replied that there were no direct lines. One time, I was told that the person who had helped me previously worked from home and I could only contact her via email. That would be a great option, if she hadn't reported not receiving my emails 50% of the time as mentioned above. Every time I called and explained and re-explained my situation, I got a different answer. When I asked for a supervisor, I was not transferred to one. I was told once that I would be called back that morning and never received a phone call. Multiple times, operators clearly gave me something to do just to get me off the phone.

In their agreement they say that they will hold your domain for 30 days after expiration and here they are trying to charge me $9.99 for being 2 days late. Yes it says that it's a discount offer but in fact it's a penalty. They are insisting that I also pay $35.97 one-time REINSTATEMENT fee which is how much the renewal for 1 year costs.

    I call and predictably get put on forever hold when I explain what I am calling about. After about 30 minutes wait they finally connect me with a very rude customer service representative who predictably has no supervisor. She talks circles around me and denies that their website says anything about 30 days grace. Eventually I give in and ask her to renew over the phone with my credit card number. She completely refuses to renew and tells me that I have to go through the $9.99 special offer. After a lot of yelling she takes all my credit card info and announces while laughing out loud that the change is $75.97 forcing me to go through the $9.99 special offer and signing the agreement to protect themselves against the fraud they are committing.

    This is not the first time I've been scammed by Network Solutions. They tried to charge me for various random services through PayPal which is tied to my American Express. PayPal helped me to set up a block and American Express got my money refunded. The worst part about Network Solutions is that together with GoDaddy they own the duopoly on domain names.

And finally, they put the "No, thanks..." link inside this box in a tiny font, maximizing the chances that you'll miss it. Add to this the 30-minute hold time they force you to wait through to get to a support person who has the authority to remove recurring purchases, the forced movement of your DNS records to a third-party, the required time to now move them back (and the subsequent loss of your services in the meantime) equals a horrendous experience trying to get your life back.

All their customer service departments are Fakes designers to make the customer waste time while they are paying this bad service. There is literally no chance to go away of Netsol from Outside USA (Spain). My domain have like 22 years old and I'm tired of paying like 35 Euro yearly since I can maintain for 3-4 times less. If anyone can recommend me a way to make it faster? I just wanna quit from NETSOL. Thanks a lot.

Once you do, you will need your products. However, you will not get any customer service politeness, long holds, unauthorized charges and threats to disconnect your account.

    I checked my bank account and discovered multiple instances of automated debit card charges from Network Solutions. I called Network Solutions and was notified that my account was suspended for "disputing charges". Network Solutions informed me that the charges were monthly charges for 4-months of "Domain Hosting" services. I told them I didn't request any domain hosting services and did not have any domains that was hosted by Network Solutions. They insisted I pay for the charges before my account would be re-activated. I repeated the fact that "I didn't ask for domain services and I didn't use any domain services". After 20 minutes on the phone arguing with the phone rep, and asking to speak with his supervisor, about 5 minutes later, he returned to the phone saying "his supervisor could not change their account suspension decision".

    I eventually called back and spent another 10 minutes talking with a different phone rep, who eventually told me they would remove the account suspension. About a month later, when my account was due for its annual renewal and it did not auto renew as I scheduled, I discovered that my account was still suspended. After spending another 15 minutes on the phone waiting while another rep looked up the notes from my previous phone call, he apologized and said the account should have been off suspension, and finally they cleared up the "suspension" issue. (By the way, my two.com accounts cost me $37.99 each for annual renewal... I have since transferred them to a host that charges me $11.99 each).

In fact I was put on hold again tonight 4 times, disconnected once, and switched from one team to another for a total of four teams, without a cure for nearly $600 in billing errors, including products that I never ordered and declined to buy.

    After an 64 minutes wasted, with people from four teams I was told that yet another team needed to fix the problem...The so-called "loyalty" team which is actually a sales team. And I have to call tomorrow. I dealt with James **, Catlin **, and Joanne "billing team/Domains", with no success in resolving my billing complaint.

    They used to be a good company, but when web.com purchased them it's been downhill from there. Their website is NOT easy to use, and it's aimed at upselling you everywhere at the expense of being easy to use. Their customer service is not all that helpful, their staff is mediocre at best and because you can't even do some things in their gui (ie mail domain keys) they were directly responsible for bringing down our email service (but they assured me that they were very sorry for that). Their website and voice response system assure you that they have improved their customer service but I see no evidence of that.

    Wow, what an unbelievable experience this has been. Changed my email forwarding over to Network Solutions May 31, 2016. PRE-paid for one year of "My Time Support" their version of premium support, (BTW this is a 3rd party vendor). I used them to help get all of my devices set up. By the time we got to my laptop, the tech was trying to flush the call, said I had used this month's time for support! (BTW, the sales rep at Network Solutions failed to tell me this little detail.) After I insisted the tech finish, he put me on hold for 6 min, then came back & said he would use time from next month's support to finish, then he was TICKED and made sure I knew it! From that day forward my laptop has had problems - contacts won't sync, lost contacts and COUNTLESS app crashes!

    When I call and speak with one of their "ACE tech support team members" (tongue in cheek), no notes had been logged from my last call so we start over in each call. Each tech has a different idea that creates yet another problem on top of old problem. One guy, said he needed to look into it and call me back, of course never called back. I think they found these guys on the way in to work one day! They not only don't have a CLUE, but have actually done damage to my contact logs! I have regular app crashes, fatal error messages, server time out messages. When writing an email, Outlook doesn't recognized my contacts, it's unbelievable...and who do you call?

    I have NEVER dealt with a more incompetent service than Network Solutions. After spending over 30 minutes on hold trying to reach a real person, I found the person to be very rude and unprofessional. I was simply trying to change the email on an existing account and you would have thought I was applying to work for the CIA. Their staff is simply incompetent and apathy in every way. They sent me multiple emails requesting additional verification information. Every time I sent back the requested information, they would find another reason to disqualify it and ask for additional information. Their reasoning had no basis in common sense.

    After sending an over-abundance of information, they then had an issue with my wife name being on the information. After multiple emails, I called the company again to complain about their incompetence. After another 30 minute hold time, I was met with complete belligerence. They had no problem accepting my credit card information to renew a domain name but try to change an email address and it's nearly impossible. Making the situation worse was the attitude exhibited by all Network Solutions personnel I dealt with. Horrible company.

    I could write a book on the horrendous experiences I have had with Network Solutions over the past few years but wouldn't even know where to start. This particular complaint however is specific to the continual spam messages I am receiving from Network Solutions, despite my request for them to stop. After a phone call to them in late January to address an email issue, a support ticket was created to solve the issue. Shortly after I received an email as follows: "I wanted to provide you with a status update on your ticket # that was sent to our Engineering teams for resolution. We are still working on your issue and will contact you as soon as we have additional information for you or if we require any additional details from you. I apologize for any inconvenience this issue is causing." This was on January 24.

This relentless automatic message saying they are "working on the issue" for 6 months simply screams at their complete incompetency, and their refusal to stop spamming me despite my request to stop is simply another example of how they talk big but at the end of the day care very little about their customer service experience.

    I have been a long time Network Solutions customer. Somewhat recently, I began paying monthly for hosting services ($18.95). I had the occasion to review those payments today and discovered that Network Solutions has its own definition of a month. Since the beginning of the year, I've paid my "monthly" bill every 28 days, 27 days, 28 days, 28 days, 28 days, 28 days and 25 days! By the end of the year, I will have paid "monthly" 13 to 13.5 times! I got ZERO satisfaction from my phone conversation from them.

    First, they agree that they bill monthly every 28 days, so they willingly admit that they rip off customers for at least most of one month. Then, they just DENIED that they took the payment at 27 and 25 days. It's in black and white on my bank account, but that doesn't matter. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIPOFF COMPANY!!!

Her reply was well to put it in perspective she had a client that was willing to pay $ 7,000.00 for a Domain Name, needless to say I was far from pleased with her response. I asked "Don't you send a notice via regular mail for something of this importance, I mean what if an email changes, you don't think to pick up the phone and call everyone who has your old email to give them your new one!"

    My business has dealt with Network Solutions for many years and have renewed our domain name with them every few years depending on how long I had signed up for. They would notify my business by email when the domain name needed to be renewed. They had my credit card information on file. Apparently my domain name was due to be renewed in March and apparently Network Solutions sent an email. Unfortunately our email had changed in the last three years and I never received the notification. What did they do - try calling my phone number? Try going to the website and contacting me through that? No. They put my domain name up for sale and now some company wants $1000 for me to buy it back from them my own domain name. Not only did they purchase it but they also bought up every other website associated with my name in order for me to pay them for anything to do with my domain name in the future.

    I will not be blackmailed into buying back my own site and my own domain name that I have had for 15 years. I will never deal with this company ever again and I suggest to anyone thinking of it to think again. Their sales staff and responses to my concerns were met with, "Can't do anything now so pay up the $1000 I guess". To add insult, Network Solutions on their website is offering me a chance to buy it back at $1000 plus another $9.95/month to keep it safe in the future. Good luck on that. Thank goodness our advertising and reviews are so strong, we don't need the website so they can pay for all those websites for years to come. My domain name was 'The Stone Hedge B&B' and it will always be 'The Stone Hedge in Richmond, B.C. Canada'. Look us up on Expedia and Booking.com.

    We have had a domain with Network Solutions for many years because the first time I tried to transfer to another account I literally built a stack of printed paper over 2 inches high and was never able to get it moved to a new registrar. Finally, the company that was hosting my site at the time suggested I just give up and I did.

    Now I've decided to try again after stupidly also using them (many years later and hoping things were better) for hosting for the past year. I should have run away immediately when they charged my PayPal account multiple times and kept doing so over and over for three days. However, when they would not stop after saying they would, I filed a BBB report and was able to get that fixed.

    This evening I find that I cannot remove my credit card information from their site even though I pay monthly and have set my account to not renew (their instructions for stopping). They do not allow that option, even if you discontinue auto renewal. Second, they provide instructions for removing the Transfer Lock and getting an authorization code to move registration but the instructions are wrong and take you to screens that simply do not offer the options they say will be available.

    I called technical support and they informed me you HAVE to call a "Special Support Consultant" in order to get your domain "released" and close your account. Last time I called it was three hours on hold. I used twitter to see if I could get anyone to help and they sent me back to the same instructions that are wrong on the website. When I pointed this out, they stopped responding.

    So tomorrow I will call them two times. If I receive any runaround or unnecessary charges or other issues, I will file another BBB report to see if that will again be of some help. Just by reading reviews here, and certainly my own experience shows, they obviously use these tactics to stall and continue getting money and keeping domains. It is a stupid business plan but obviously works for them or they would stop. This isn't rocket science! Websites are increasingly important to businesses and this callous disregard for people's rights to purchased products and securely manage their bills and credit card information surely crosses some sort of legal boundaries. I honestly am surprised, in this day and age, that someone hasn't already started a class action lawsuit against them. I will report back once I make my two telephone calls.

    In 2011 I created a account with Network Solutions. At the time things went OK. I made a website which took many hour of work and a E-mail thru the domain name. A few weeks ago I called Network Solutions and asked them to suspend my web site and take it off the web because I was moving my company and wanted to rework the web site after I got in the new building with the new address. Next thing I know I could not access my E-mail? From there I checked my web address and I found out they sold the domain I had at auction. I just paid another year for the service a month before I asked them to suspend the service.

    I called New Ventures a company that bought the Domain Name and next thing I know they want $300 within 2 days and if I don't pay the price will go up I was told. The next thing I did is contacted Network Solutions and I was told if I buy the Domain back through their service for $750.00 they would restore the Domain Name under my name and my E-mail. Being that I'm in business I paid the fee because I have years of email business. I used the email address and I felt it was worth paying the fee so I did. Next thing I know it snow balled from there.

    They wanted another $135.00 for hosting, another fee to get my email account going and after being charged close to $900.00 I still haven't got my web site back or my email account back. I sent multiple phone calls with Network Solutions and nothing got fixed. It's been really frustrating and I lost my web site I built and my email account and business. Next thing I know is they tell me they want fees to build another web site and tell me that my email has been lost.

    This has been a total costly for me and every time I call to ask for a refund they try to pass me on to someone that can't seem to help me out. As it stands now when I get on my browser to check the Domain Name I get directed if I want to purchase the Domain Name from New Ventures or it will say "This site is under construction" or it will say "registered by Network Solutions" and there will be multiple websites to other companies. And get this, there will also be advertising if I would like to purchase a backorder of the Domain Name I had since 2011 and just paid a extra $900 to keep it under my name.

After years with Network solutions, simply out of toleration in the pain of moving my data to a new company I've finally hit the wall. Every support call takes hours of on hold time and they are far from professionals on even general hosting subjects, the typical response is to "upgrade".

    Everything you do seems to initiate "auto billing" which is done well before a normal time frame in renewing services - often times months before. Published prices are outrageously above the other hosting companies, but if you're savvy you can call in and they will discount for you over the phone only. Calling for support - often you speak with minimum 3 people, each asking you the same security information, then only to tell you, "hold and I'll get you to the right person." My average hold time 40 minutes.

    I'm actually on hold right now while writing this, 48 minutes so far, and my 4th transfer, and my 3rd call today all over the same server issue. This is not a company you want to use for hosting if you don't have a solid technical background and a lot of patience as you will get little to no help from their general support team less from their paid support team.

The fees are paid by me and emails from NS are sent to me. Yet they seem to find every reason not to change the account to my name. I am getting a stack of nonsense from these clowns. For example they want a letterhead from an office I had ten years ago. How they can stay in business is beyond me, but I see I am not alone.

    I've been with MonsterCommerce for a long time. They got bought out by Network Solutions and ever since it's been a nightmare. You work on your site when their servers are up not when your time allows. Customer service in my opinion is unlike any I have experienced in this trade. All I can say if you use them then you deserve what you get. Just read the reviews. In this age of time this is unacceptable considering there are a lot more eCommerce host with quality service.

    I have put nearly 5 hours of work into what should be a simple domain transfer for a client's domain from Network Solutions (Web.com) to my provider. Yet, they have thwarted my attempts and my client's attempts (their account holder) at every turn. Every time we are ready to try the transfer again, they cite "security concerns" and re-block our attempts. This is despite numerous calls to their "support" center, following all their protocols, etc. This is not a company you will want to do business with. Don't take my word for it.

    These scam artists take the practice of locking your account to try and prevent losing an customer to the next level. I have owned the domain for 15 years, since before they were web.com, but they refused to give me my Auth code. After talking to 5 agents & 2 supervisors I was given exact procedure to be able to access my own account today. (Funny they only check ONE thing when I pay, the credit card authorization. But when it comes to cancelling, well that's a different matter entirely!)

    So I followed every step of their multi-tiered array of convoluted verification processes to the tee. It involved no less than 5 emails and 8 log-ins/password resets/ID verifications. After 4 hours I finally got the Authorization Code. The very next email said: "There has been suspicious activity on your account, it has been locked for 30 days!" Yup, even following their instructions generates this automated lock! After another hour on the phone they refused to release the lock even though everything was thoroughly documented through the previous 4 hours of calls.

Since the takeover by web.com they have started to use aggressive marketing techniques like 1) hiding the information to transfer a domain away from networksolutions.com; 2) keep bugging me with 'special offers' to keep me stay at networksolutions.com while I have clearly indicated my desire to transfer the domain away from Networksolutions.com; 3) showing all kinds of silly 'security warnings' which make you believe that if you continue, your domain name could be stolen; 4) if the transfer lock has been set, it takes a day before they unlock it; 5) if you have requested the transfer token, it takes up to 3 days to send this to you; 6) if you finally agree with the transfer, it takes 5 to 7 days to actually transfer the domain.

    All the above delays are not necessary, it can be done in an hour or so. Networksolutions.com deliberately delays the transfer, with the only hope that you will stay with them. Please I CAN do something about this. For all who use Networksolutions.com I strongly advise you to stop doing business with these criminals. There are enough alternative domain providers who offer customer friendly services and for less money. I also invite you to post your negative experiences with Networksolutions.com.

    I have been a Network Solutions customer for nearly fifteen years, even though their registration fees are outrageous, because I always thought it was an industry standard and a reputable company. Today purchased 36 domains for about $1200. Well, when I went to park them, I noticed a were few missing. I was sent no order confirmation via email, so after digging around I finally found my order on their website. FIVE (!) of the domains were marked as "ABORTED," and one was listed as "IN PROCESS." After re-checking their status, I discovered four of the domains were now no longer available, and two were now considered "premium" at $138 and $7000!

    After speaking with a supervisor extensively, who claimed the listings were available by mistake (after being promised to those who were given "priority access" to the future extensions), I was ultimately promised the issue would be "escalated" with the data processors. Yeah right. Even though my card was charged the entire amount, he said they would return any discrepancy (as if that would fix everything). Luckily I was able to save the order page that lists the domains as "aborted." I will remove this review if and when the domains are credited to my account.

Over time, their costs exceeded what was charged by other equally (if not superior) hosting services.

Even though I successfully set up a new hosting site, they decided to lock down access to make it even more difficult. Customer service was little help, but (in all fairness) they had their company-mandated script to read through. Maybe other company experiences would be different?

    Back in March 2013 I purchased a premium real estate domain name and seller had me create a networksolutions.com account to transfer it to. The first thing I noticed when I visited the site is that it states NS "is a web.com company". Next day I received an email that my $10 refund has been processed! What refund? I just paid $5,000 for a premium site and $10 for the first year of domain registration/domain hosting (ie domain hosting not web hosting). When I called NS customer service, their rep nonchalantly stated that my US $5,000 domain failed to transfer from the seller's account to my account so the domain has been deleted and cannot be reinstated.

    Appalled, I contacted BBB hours later back in March 2013 and was contacted by NS management who apologized that my domain was deleted and assured it would be reinstated 'as long as I was willing to make repayment' since my initial payment was 'refunded'. I was willing to repay since I didn't ask for them to refund my ten dollar payment for yearly domain registration aka domain hosting (not web hosting). NS manager took payment and assured my domain would be restored. It was restored and all was well. However, two years later and I get an email that my website is marked for DELETION all over again. I called NS and was told my domain has been suspended FOR 2 years! What liars, at this point! If my domain was suspended for 2 years, then how come they added email to my domain in 2014 which I paid $13 for a year of emails for, plus renewed and charged my debit card without issue in 2014 as well?

    Looking back at 2 years ago, I realize the moment my domain I had just paid $5,000 transferred into NS, someone at NS saw the opportunity to refund my payment for the year of registration and thus delete my domain. Likewise, despite 2 years of registration and 1 year of email services, all paid for and actively renewing, some persons or program at NS again initiated a suspension of my domain name in order to mark it for deletion unless I pay a $49 reinstatement registration amount despite there being no legit reason for my domain being suspended in the first place. Because of NS ongoing actions, I don't have the privilege to simply transfer my domain away to another registrar of my choice at this time. Thus, I am forced to pay NS for another year of worrying when will someone at NS try to steal my domain yet again PLUS pay an exorbitant reinstatement fee despite my domain having always been on auto-renew as well as the debit card account linked correctly.

    I highly doubt these are just accidental billing 'errors'. The recurrence points at practically a systematic cycle of NS procedures in favor of getting premium domains coming deleted (seized for their own interest/profits? ) then a $50 total FEE to reinstate (some $26 reinstatement plus $24 for one year? pft.. so much for $10/yr).

    Network Solutions, formerly known as Internic, has absolutely appallingly atrocious customer service. One of their supervisors is a liar prone to misrepresentation. I needed to change the primary contact for a number of domain names for an IP address reassignment for a series of websites representing a corporate entity with more than seven-figures in monthly revenues. The former primary contact is no longer in the employ of the company. Simple enough, right? I initiated the effort in January through a series of faxes providing all the requested information from business ID to facsimiles of not one but two state-issued IDs for managers in the company. The form's blank is not long enough to facilitate a long-form full name. I rewrote it, and actually editing it from a Photoshop program in a tedious exercise, and sent it in to a supervisor who personally assured me it would be taken care of within 24 hours, and nothing.

    They habitually place you on hold, which is nothing more than a stall tactic. Following up, led to discovery that there was no continuity in my customer service request on the support ticket even with a supervisor, scant understanding on the part of the NS personnel of the prior circumstances without habitually explaining circumstances again and again, and getting transferred again and again. We're reporting Network Solutions to the Federal Trade Communication for fraud and adverse impact on our business, and may seek legal counsel for their adverse impact on our business.

    I have talked to every possible tech there and offered to pay for their my time support but even they don't know how to make this link work that they offer. It stopped my full website from working for two weeks in my busy Christmas season and they could not help. I have more than 35 domains with them and many websites but they don't care and my many thousands I spend them a year mean nothing.

    I asked many times for a account manager or some kind of caring person and was told we are escalating your problem to next level. No one care at Network Solutions, no one called. I spent 4 days just trying to get mobi removed so my website could function again. Very very disappointed with how I am always treated. Any time I call, it's 40 50 70 minutes on the phone. My colleagues tell me to move my accounts at least once a week when they see me so angry. What ever happen to good old customer service. I have been really loyal but I guess it's time to move my accounts. It's funny all emails to me call me a priority customer so what happens to all the regular people who don't spend thousands of dollars per year. Thank for reading this.

    A warning to all consumers thinking of using this firm for domain names and such: when I decided to change to another provider after having been a Network Solutions customer for 7+ years, they not only took forever to provide an authorization code for me to make the change but then posted a recurring charge on my credit card for a new service that I never requested or authorized. It has now been 3+ weeks and they not only continued to harass me with e-mails to renew my still in force domain agreement but have yet to remove the charge from my card. This is NOT the way a reputable company behaves and if they treat former customers this way, time is long overdue for more of us to take our business elsewhere.

    I transferred my domain to Go Daddy last September because I was very dissatisfied with NS- Stupid high prices for bad service. After I went through the "Transfer Process" which NS strung out... I finally got a confirmation that the transfer had gone through. I though that was the end. Oh no... that would be too easy. :-) I saw on my bank statement that these guys were still leeching money off me for an e-mail account. I tried in vain to locate the "Delete" button on my Account page, there isn't one. Also - I found out through the Google forums that you have to open a "Ticket" on their support pages to request cancellation of the e-mail account. If you try to find this info on their support/help platform you won't find it. NS are allergic to the help topic: Cancel or Delete E-mail services. They will gladly sign you up online but they don't allow this service to be cancelled online. It is not at all transparent for the customer. Good Ridance NS...

    I purchased a premium domain name from Network Solutions about a little over a year ago... a ".FM" for my streaming company to be exact. These domains run $75 a year... not to mention my domain name with the ".FM" was extremely hard to find for my company brand. The domain name came up for renewal this year in July so I renewed it Aug 22, 2014. Transaction goes fine and I have been using the domain fine since. How about Dec 3rd my ".FM" domain disappears without a trace. I find out today it was deleted from their system. I ask what for. They do not have a clue... now they say they have escalated my case and should have the domain back in my account in the next couple business days "maybe!"

    Maybe is not what you want to hear when it's your company brand and you have customers utilizing your services through that domain and brand. It's also alarming because I had this happen with another radio client I had set up with streaming servers using that similar ".FM" domains. He paid in for 5 (five) years and one day at about 4 (four) years in I go to add subdomains to the account and the domain is gone but is still pointing to our servers so we had no control.

    Network Solutions tells us somehow a third party register now was handling "that" domain. We looked everywhere and when we finally found them some months later, they referred us back and forth to Network Solutions. Had so many problems with that domain and Network Solutions that I just advised the client to just allow the domain name to expire and "prayfully" we can pick it up after the 30 day limbo period with another register. It paid off... we bought it for a little less than Network Solutions through a company called DomainsPricedRight. I have never had any problems with their domains dropping like this and I have been using them for over 10 years now. They have had a couple name changes but their service has always been consistently reliable... unlike the godfather of the domain industry Network Solutions. They have been dropping the ball in a lot of other areas as well that I won't go into this thread.

My driver's license is my home address, not my office. Also it auto filled the name on the account as John **? Don't know who he is. So I decided not a good idea to send my license. I called back talked with somebody again and told him none of the security questions matched. He asked me the ones I did fill out and I answered them.

After waiting on the phone for maybe 5 to 10 minutes I got a support person that I could barely understand and she just kept reading a script to me and repeating what she had said. After some heated words from me, I answered the security questions and was sent a password reset link. When I clicked on the link it didn't work. The support person told me that the account was locked so I couldn't access it. So, I said "Unlock it." She said she did not have that authority and that I would be notified in 2 to 3 business days about resolving the problem. I said "Impossible, I need to use my new email address starting on December 1," She asked me to hold. She came back and told me that a supervisor will call me in 1 to 2 hours.

    An accurate and fair assessment of Network Solutions is that I experienced excellent service and courteous customer support with a minimum of headaches and trouble. They were stellar and I recommended them to everyone -- including all of my clients. Then they were bought out. I got a harassing phone call from an overly aggressive marketer (when I asked the marketer to remove me from his list, he quite rudely argued with me that since NetSols was taken over, I was going to keep receiving phone calls from them). ActiveSynch charges for services that I didn't agree to and that I didn't even know I was being charged for (and that I never used) and endless daily barrage of aggressive email marketing.

    GoDaddy offered apparently cheaper rates, but worse support and extra charged for everything that should be included in a subscription for hosting -- looked more like a "bait-and-switch" operations -- not honest enough up front to suit me. Now after many years with Network Solutions, I would give anything to get rid of them (if I could just find anyone that worked for me the way Network Solutions used to be).

She says she'll call me in one to two minutes. No call. So I call back. Phone mysteriously hangs up. I call back, and then she informs me they couldn't call me back on the number given because it's not the same number on file. Lies. This is my only cell phone.

I say I thought I would be able to sign back in later, but of course that's not working when I have the user ID and the password written down.

    She asks what's the user ID, as if it somehow matters. I tell her, and then she says, "Well the user ID is not case sensitive, but the password is." OK. What was the point in mentioning that? At this point I'm getting aggravated. I say, "Never mind. Thanks for being no help." I will just block Network Solutions from being able to take any more money from me. So I call my bank and have that debit card number shut down, and for them to send me a new card. I'm glad I didn't waste time.

At one point my emails failed completely because they deleted the domain on the date of expiry even though I had already begun the transfer process with plenty of time for the transfer to be completed before expiry. Their object is clearly to try and wear the customer down and make it as difficult as absolutely possible in the hope that the customer will just give up. I have since been informed from a number of quarters that they have a reputation for this. It's not an accident or isolated failure in customer service but a carefully calculated company strategy.

They never responded and never return my money. So, I took it as renewed for one year at that exorbitant USD110.97!

    A year later they did the same. Sending me renewal notice just before expiry. When contacted they pretended to allow my transfer, and then locked up my domain again in the process, and offered to renew at >USD150 and ignored all my emails of protest, until expiry. Finally they sold my domain, and soon a company contacted to sell me my domain for several hundred dollars. I think a class action against NS is appropriate.

    My client has an account with Network Solutions where one of their domains was registered. I am the web developer for the domain, and I am also (or thought I was!) the administrative contact and technical contact. The store owner (and domain owner) is also listed as a contact on the account. We had the domain set to automatically renew, using my PayPal account. Well, much to my surprise, I discovered by chance when I was going through my periodic SEO review of this site, that the domain had expired! Neither I nor the owner had received ANY notice from Network Solutions that there was a problem with the billing account. (In fact I seriously doubt there WAS a problem - my PayPal account has been around a long time, and works just fine elsewhere).

    That was the beginning of the nightmare. Network Solutions wanted $200(!!!) to renew the domain for 5 years. GoDaddy wanted $45. So we started the process to transfer the domain. The next obstacle was they wouldn't put the transfer through because it was expired! So I asked them to let us just buy it, but they said they couldn't do that (its EXPIRED, that is a complete lie - they can legally transfer/sell a domain to ANYONE once its expired). They did say they could temporarily lift the lock on it for 15 days, but they couldn't make the change for me or the owner, because we weren't "primary" on the account. It turns out, the original web developer put the account in HER name. So we started the process of changing the primary to the actual owner.

    We followed the N.S. process exactly. The owner sent in all of the proof of ID, etc. Then they put a 30-day hold on the account because of the change! They said this was to "protect us" from domain hijackers. So then we went through the process to have this "hold" lifted. Which they did, and they said there would be a 3-day wait period, then we could start the domain transfer. Which we did. It failed again. They told us we had to "unlock" the domain, which we did. Started the transfer AGAIN on January 24. Four days later, we received our transfer code, 2 days after they sold the domain to New Venture Services!

    To me this looks like a deliberate attempt to stall, thwart, and delay our efforts to complete a successful transfer. I feel they were trying to blackmail us into renewing instead of transferring. When you call customer service they say there is nothing they can do, the system is automated, and the computer does what it does automatically. I asked them why they bothered to hire any people if the computers just do everything automatically and they have no control over them.

    So if you have a domain registered with Network Solutions - BEWARE! They are the craftiest domain hijackers out there - that whole spiel about "We do this for your protection" is a complete lie, what they really are running is a "Protection Racket", pay us or we'll sell your domain to a company that will ransom it for a minimum of $125. I tried to find out more about who New Venture Services is, but their published number goes to a law firm. I would bet they DO have some kind of relationship with Network Solutions, but I can't prove it. I have seen MANY stories similar to this on Google - it sounds like this might be a good candidate for a class action lawsuit.

I followed the instruction to a letter and received a response that I had to file an authorized trouble ticket. So, after a few minutes of angry thoughts, I called Network Solutions and after being passed around a bit and being asked a lot of security questions, I was (hopefully) able to cancel. I get the distinct feeling that they are hoping that customers will get too frustrated to actually go all the way through with cancellation. Poor customer service. I won't use them again.

    They took my money to register my domain, then failed to do so. I only discovered this after my web-hosting company informed me of its UN-registered status. My alleged "registered" domain was subsequently taken and registered with GoDaddy. I informed Network Solutions of their gross negligence, attached the official true registrar and domain-owner's details, and demanded that they refund the money. They refused on the grounds that it's not their policy to issue refunds, and told me to not renew the domain registration with them at the end of its one-year term. Still, they insist they are the registrants, despite the FACT that they NEVER did register it. This is now a clear case of taking money under false pretenses and fraud.

    I host my website with them and it was a disaster. They charge me an extra amount per week like $24 for no reasons when I had already paid my hosting. I called them to know the reasons why they charged me a no justificable price so high and they answer me that they didn't know why and it was a mistake. To have my money back I had to fill a formulary from them and fax it to get my money back and wait 1 month after (Money doesn't get back). After all that, I decided to change from my account the authorized payments to unauthorized payments without my permission. Guess what, they had continued to charge me an amount of money so I made the decision to close up my account with them. To close up your account, you have to call them so I do that. They said that my website will close up in a few hours, perfection for me. We're already 1 week ago and my website is still available and yesterday, they charge me again $24 for no reason so I called Visa to refuse them the access of my money. Fraud, terrible service and after read the reviews the most terrible thing is I'm not the only one that they stole my money. Stay or go with GoDaddy but never use Network Solution!

    I have about 60 domains and sometimes I forget to renew them on time. All registrars by law now give you a 45 days period before deleting the domain. If you renew your domain within this period, they charge you just the normal price of renewal. Network Solutions, apart from charging the highest price for .com domains at $37.99, is now charging a reinstatement fee of $25.99 if you are late even by one day! So if you forget even for one day to renew your domain, you are looking at the outrageous amount of $63.98.

I checked with my bank and they assured me that there was no block on the card.

    I had incorporated my business after the purchase of the matching domain name. It took Network Solutions five days before suspending my account and stealing my domain. During those five days, I ordered several hundred business cards, a web page, obtained an EIN and opened a bank account matching the domain name.

I didn't recall the amount having been charged to the credit card I used on the form, so I assumed that it was lost and renewed my domain names with Register.com online on June 15, 2002.

    After a day and a half of dealing with my DSL provider and checking my server, I determined that the problem was that my domain name was no longer found. I called Register.com and found out that I had been switched to Network Solutions.

    I called Network Solutions and was informed that my domain names--which are paid for--had been turned off "for some reason." Initially, I was told that it would take 5 to 8 business days to turn them on again.

    This started as a simple mistake that continues to snowball. Here's part of my letter to NSI: "Late last year (1999) I decided to setup a business domain through Sprint's business services. Note that I already had been using them for my dial-up connection and personal web page.

    Part of the process meant registering my domain name, for which Earthlink recommended NSI. I had heard and read some pretty scary things about NSI's poor service record, but decided to give Earthlink the benefit of the doubt (a mistake on my part in hindsight). When I registered my domain on your site, I entered my current physical address (this is key) as my business address, as one would reasonably expect [note: at this time I did not know NSI had my old home address in their database, related to my email address.

    After registering, I was informed by Earthlink that NSI would send me a bill for $70 for registration to my home address. I had already known of this, and planned to pay by check. Not long after registering igeon, I received an email from NSI regarding paying online via credit card. As I would be paying by check, I disregarded that email. Note: after that I received NO further communications from NSI-- email, physical bill, warnings or otherwise (again, that is key). I just assumed it would take a while for me to receive the bill.

    However, a few weeks ago customers informed me they could not access my site. I had noticed the same thing but attributed it to server problems at the location I was accessing the site from. I contacted Earthlink, where I was informed that NSI had put a HOLD on my account. I asked why; they said for non-payment. When I explained that I had received NO bill, the Earthlink rep was surprised, and said I should have gotten not only a bill but also TWO warnings before the domain was deactivated. When I said I'd never got a warning, he suggested contacting NSI.

    There began a series of fruitless attempts to explain the situation to you folks. Not ONE of my phone calls has been answered, despite my camping out on the phone for 20 minutes or more at times. Most of my emails have received nothing more than automatic replies, and the ones that DID garner a human reply demonstrated that no one I have contacted is reading the emails. If you look at the example I am faxing, that fact should become obvious. I have stated NUMEROUS times that I never got a bill at all, nor any warnings, and that my domain needs to be reactivated, my address corrected and a CORRECT bill sent to my address. At the very least, email warnings should have been sent along with snailmail warnings. I can't understand why that did not occur. Do you have any explanation?

    As far as I can tell, somehow my old address was retained in your records, and you billed to that address instead of the one I used during registration. At that time I was unaware you even HAD my address in your system! Regardless, the current address entered during registration was the PROPER one to use for billing, not a place I lived at almost 2 years ago! That's just common sense!

    I am being billed $70 by Network Solutions for a service that I never requested from them. I filled out a FREE domain registration form at easyspace because of an ad I received in an e-mail that stated they would register one domain name for free. I filled out the form and read the terms of agreement and nowhere did it state that I would have to pay any amount of money to any company or that I would have to deal with Network Solutions. I've tried several times to contact either company by e-mail only to get the same generic response over and over.

    I tried many times to contact network solutions by telephone always incurring long distance charges and I finally reached them today. They acknowledged that the advertisement was misleading and the fact that I never intended on using their service and the fact that I never agreed to ant commitments with Network Solutions, yet they still showed no desire to resolve this problem in good faith. I need help in getting this problem resolved. I hope you can help me.

    On 3/27/99 I sent NSI a check for 70.00 to register the domain name "youmeweus.com." The check was paid on 4/3/99 by my bank. Yet the domain name continues to show available for purchase. I have written numerous letters and emails to NSI and provided a photocopy of the cashed check to substantiate my ownership.

    "youmeweus" was to be our site for the advocacy of the physically challenged employees of my company. The proposed site was to be a focus point for our A.D.S.U.M. (Abilities not Disabilities drive Success in Utilizing our Multiplicities) employee network. A bit polysyllabic and pretentious perhaps, but our own.

    We live is a society of acknowledged "glass ceilings" and I propose that "glass stairwells" exist as well, relegating the physically challenged to lesser opportunities to excel because of employer misperceptions as to their capabilities. Soapbox oratory aside, adsum in latin means "I am here" and without the benefits of my purchase. Network Solutions is there with my money. Despite my repeated efforts to resolve this amicably, my efforts thus far have gone nowhere.
