Ugh. Network Solutions is terrible. In 2003, I registered my domain for 100 years at $9.99 per year for a total of $999. Then ten years later (2013), I received a notice that they were having a problem charging my credit card for the domain name renewal? Apparently, it went into their system as a ten year registration.
I've been on the phone with them periodically for about a year now trying to resolve this, and in the mean-time I've paid for two additional one-year registrations. It was basically a miracle that I was able to track down the credit card number I used back in 2003. I had to fax them various documents as evidence and now they're supposedly doing an investigation, but I haven't heard from them in a while.
I really should follow up again. I hope I can get a refund for the remaining 90 years and switch registrars. In the end, I might just let Network Solutions keep my $900+ and switch away from them for the peace of mind.
- duskwuff 13y agoDomain registrations have always been limited to 10 years. If NetSol ever claimed to be offering a 100-year registration, they were either wrong or being misleading.
- toast0 13y agoI remember seeing advertising for this. I believe they promised that they would keep it registered 10 years out until your time ran out. Of course, even in 2003, the only thing Network Solutions had going for them was high prices.
- Suncho 13y agoThey said they'd automatically renew it on their end. It was marketed to me as a service that I'd only have to pay for once and never have to worry about for the rest of my life. Obviously, the opposite has been true. =/
