They will continue to show it as available through their site and will register it to the first requester with $34.99, but a whois shows it unavailable for the next 2 years. 4-5 days later, if it isn't registered, they release their claim on it. Test it for yourself by doing a whois on a bogus domain name, then doing a search for it at NS and finally running the whois, again. This is really slimy behavior in my opinion. Here's a [url=http://www.domainnamenews.com/featured/domain-registrar-network-solutions-front-running-on-whois-searches/1359]story on it by DomainNameNews[/url]: So. Run those "available domains" name searches through another company, for now.[/quote] Options HTML is ON BBCode is ON Smilies are ON Disable HTML in this post Disable BBCode in this post Disable Smilies in this post  Forum index » Meta » Puppetmaster Help Topic review Back to top Like this site and want to support it?
