According to that link it's $1350 for each subsequent year after the initial $1850 fee for the first year (which Network Solutions have offered to waive for her). Considering how they allowed transfers that were not "properly authorized" to take place they should have offered lifetime use of the service for free, and not use it as an opportunity to make $1350 in case she forgets to opt out after the first year.

If they do have the ability to stop domain theft, why not stop domain theft for free as part of their basic service as a registrar, instead of letting so many domains leave their accounts without the registrants authorization? There should be no need for registrants to pay $1350 a year to not have their domain stolen.

Looks like epik.com offer something similar for free.

Network Solution is a joke. I'm pretty surprised that they have a single customer. Stupid money grabbing irresponsible archaic registrar.

Despite being extremely dishonest, they retain a lot of customers. They're still one of the top 5 largest registrars in the world, with nearly 7,000,000 domains under management. Most people don't care about getting ripped off. If they did, GoDaddy wouldn't be the largest registrar in the world.

As for Network Solutions, Siris Capital just paid $2,000,000,000 to buy them, along with Register.com, another terrible registrar. I don't understand why they would pay that much for one of the worst registrars in the industry.

Looks like they just passed 7 million. So they're growing. Last I checked they had about 6.9 million domains under management.

probably because of snapnames

the inaction is a very big issue with human behavior. and NetSol keeps passing as a secure and good registrar to the main stream. only domainers know about how lousy they really are.

That is amazing, I though they had 6M and had been steadily losing market share.
Indeed they seem to be the fourth biggest Icann registrar.
Register.com would be #15 with 2M domains.
See: https://features.icann.org/compliance/registrars-list

that list is very odd. it gives NameCheap with 8M domains. the third largest Registrar. i find it very hard to believe. also, the totals reach 196M domains. this might include gTLDs and nTLDs but not ccTLDs.
