Network Solutions Sued for Domain Poaching

26th February 2008

I wrote a few weeks ago on SEMpdx about the fact that if you searched for a domain name on Network Solutions, and then didn’t buy it that moment for their extremely high price, that you cannot go register it elsewhere, because they basically lock it up.

Now it appears they’re getting sued for doing it! While I still think it’s a slimy practice, I don’t agree that it’s an actionable legal issue. I guess guess we’ll see…

Some of the links on this website and possibly even in this article may be affiliate links. That does not in any way discount my recommendation, and I do not accept paid reviews. It's simply impossible and unreasonable to mention each possible affiliation individually, so please try to get over it ;-)
