Big thumbs down for Network Solutions

wot · 10-05-2010, 06:59 PM

From another forum:

I have to nominate Network Solutions for the IDN Hall of Shame. They have a long history so you would think they would be a bit more progressive. I believe they were the first registrar...I do know they currently have 6 million plus domains under thier registration and were owned by Verisign at one time.

Their "Certifiied Offer Department" contacted me last week with an anonymous buyer that wanted to buy one of my Arabic domains and we settled on a price of $1,000. After a few exchanges of emails they were going to handle escrow and instructed me to unlocked the name and sent them the authorization code which I did.

Well seems that when it was time to transfer they discovered that the name was an IDN....I can only imagine their staff conversation must have gone like: "what the f*ck is this friggin' squigly domain???" "Who the hell would buy this, I'll bet this is a scam!" "Damn, you know our engineers don't want that in our system, might break the server!!".

And then I got this email:

Hi ---,
As of February 28, 2004, Network Solutions, LLC no longer offers, or supports, Multilingual Domain Name registrations (MDNs).

As a result, the Certified Offer for this domain name registration has been cancelled and the domain name remains under your name.

We do apologize for the inconvenience.

When a corporation has "MDNs" written in their broker guidebook, there's definitely a problem.

I moved my domains out from Netsol years ago.

One of the best moves I have ever made.

That stunt is just so unprofessional.

You would think they would know the domain was MND during the process of the sale instead of telling you after it was finalized.
