   | It's the news we've all been expecting! But I wasn't expecting it to be sold to a real estate and hotel investment company.  Going to be an interesting transistion I'm sure! Where does this leave SiteFinder. Verisign already claimed it was not a registry level service, so...  Was Versign honest about the problems NetSol faces, or will there be an eventual lawsuit? |

| "Please be assured that Network Solutions continues to be committed to providing superior products and customer service to our wholesale partners." Who came up with this groundbreaking idea? Oh, and the 8 million registered domain names they brag about could have been 24 million if they weren't so stupid. Please! |
