FREE Domain Transfer to Network Solutions with Free 1 Year Extension! No Limitation!

[Shakib K.]

Update: Not recommended to use this coupon code anymore, as many people facing problems with their account. But, you are allowed to use it at your own risk.​

* Offer applies to new Transfer-In request initiated from a valid registrar to Network Solutions by 10/1/2017. This offer is valid only for .com, .net, .org, .info, and .biz domain names. Offer applies only to transfer in service fees, not domain name registrations or renewals. Purchase of the transfer service does not guarantee that the transfer will be successful.

Out of my original set of 19 (through 3 separate orders), 15 of them look like they will go through. A fast registrar already shows netsol nameservers but NOT my info, nor is the domain in my account. I'll update if anything goes nuts. Transferring in from 4 different places.

Email:

Dear Network Solutions Customer,

XXXXX.com has been successfully transferred to Network Solutions. It will be available to manage in your account (Account ID: XXXXXXXX) within 24 hours. To manage your domain log in to your account manager here.

​

(just documenting some of the steps so you can tell if there is an irregularity in what you are doing).

And to those that showed $9.99 screenshots, yes, that would have charged you, imo. Mine says Discount $9.99 and then where yours says $9.99 mine says $0.00.

@Beezy Can you confirm that an additional year was added onto the expiry?

The whois says:
Registry Expiry Date: 2018-11-08

Seems the year was added.

Domain is still not in my account. And i approved expedited transfers at another registrar so I will update the thread with those, too (5 approved so far for this)

15 of mine appear they will go through. These say "Pending Completion".

I have 25 that are sitting at "In Progress", which does not allow me to enter the auth codes yet.

"Once we've verified your domain name is ready to transfer, you will need to enter your authorization code."
​

Testing this mostly with .org's I was on the fence about, .info's i'm holding, and coupon .com's that I want to give an extended life to.

EDIT. My original name has hit my account. Updates in the morning on the others.

I don't trust NS. I would avoid. The saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." should apply here.

 

[omelet]

i am transferring....my payment method is paypal. and I hv initiated 70-80 names already. looks OK

however, a moment ago, things just do not work well b/c the site said i need to input payment (card) method..

so who knows whats the reason? is that b/c they want credit card rather than paypal? or the number I hv initiated exceed the required number???

Coupon Code FREETRNSFEROCT would not work for me in Firefox, DID work for me in Opera. My existing account was a couple years old with zero domains.

For my own protection, used my "Placeholder" credit card, it's a valid non-refillable pre-paid gift card, with correct matching address that has small balance on it. They DID run a $1 charge for each cart, likely for validation only, expect they will refund in a day or so. The process took me two tries, so if I do any more I will do them all at once, I only have $3 left LOL

Did three dot COMs all transferring OUT from DirectNIC. The process was kinda clunky, it took a while, maybe 10-15 minutes for the domains to show up in the transfer manager to enter the auth codes. Still waiting for auth emails from either gaining or losing.

These are domains I don't care about and would likely have dropped so if I can get a bonus year to sell them for free, super, if not will let them expire next year.

The challenge with transfer out is they try and make you stay. You pretty much HAVE to call in person, and then the best excuse is you are selling the domain and the buyer wants it somewhere else. You have to be very cautious about their Auto-Renew, and they send a TON of internal and partner marketing crap, which you can OPT-OUT of, just really pay attention, I just updated my email and there was a sorta hidden OPT-OUT when you verified the new email. Also, changing the email would have enforced the 60 day lock on any existing domains, except in my case I didn't have any : grin :

Will update when I get auth emails. At least I did get the "Confirmation of Email Address Change" notification so far.

 

[luantt]

Anyone has experience with NS???
I had 4 years ago and never wanna use it back: deleted the domain name a few days after registered.
You must renew first if you wanna transfer out.
Have no idea how the provider working now. Hope it better.

 

[loygwapo]

But you can transfer out, cant you?

You can, but they will make it very hard for you.

You can Google reviews about them. You will see that there are overwhelmingly negative reviews about them.

Like this one: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/internet/network_solutions.htm

Personally, I would avoid them. Just like 1&1 (which sent my bill to a collection agency after my domain expired).

 

[Furquan]

Heard very bad things about NS in past

I will not use this promo even-though I need to renew 200+ domains this month.

My time invested + previously invested money is valuable than free offer.

There might be high chances for loosing your domains, we can't predict what NS will do after this offer.

I'm glad that you guys saved some $$$ but beware of loosing your valuable domains

Best,

And Advance RIP to all that who have transferred there valuable name to NS

 

[drsheraz]

Some domains are already in my account. Have requested to transfer 50-60 domains. you can opt out of autorenewal. How can we push the domain to networksolution account?

 

[Steven McEvoy]

Man you guys were scaring me ended up canceling and locking my domains lol

Man no one can have fun around here any more hahaha

 

[Ahmed Hany]

Contact with them or PayPal for a refund.

I did and i got my money but the step itself is not comfortable!
I think they have a hidden code/plugin with their system.

This is my experience with them and i wanted to share.

 

[Ahmed Hany]

So, the problem is solved.
Why haven't said in your previous comment?
It can confuse people.

I only shared my story,Yes it has fixed. But the way they take money is not good. Only shared what happened to me with the people here.

 

[Elad n]

I got one fully transferred.
Others 6 delayed, don't wanna over do it.

 

[dhyane]

Yes , transfer and renewed for free . But they charge $1/order for verfiy your payment method valid or not .

I just checking. Does paypal accepted there?

 

[ET76]

Well, everyone has a different experience but I will never buy from 1&1 again even if they pay me. I chose not to renew and let the domain name expired. Even had auto-renew off. They still charged me for the renewal fee and sent my bill to a collection agency, which threatened me with legal action. Never had a registrar do it to me before. I've been with GoDaddy, Namecheap, Name, Register, Domain.com, etc. It's only with 1&1 that this happened to me. Good thing I'm in a different country so they can't sue me. LOL.

Agree with you, it happened to me either about 4 maybe 5 years ago, they still charged me for the renewal fee even I had auto-renew off and they also told me on their email will sent my bill to a collection agency. Just like you, good thing I'm also from a different country so they can't sue me. They email me for 3 month and then stop emailing after that.

 

[dhyane]

Deal does seem to good to be true. It wouldn't surprise me if you guys all end up getting charged the transfer/renewal fee anyway. IMO, too risky to get your domains held hostage if something goes wrong.

I tried this. And i see
1-time Service Fee is FREE
Renewal is $15.99*

For 4 domains i see
Total: $63.96
$63.96 deferred* ( i do not know what it is)

Should i try this?

 

[Yaffa]

than did you find what is the most cheap we can buy?
or any other info?

I'm on the phone to them again - this time to the billing dept. This lady said that you don't need to buy anything. I just sent her a screenshot of the error message. She is checking it out.

 

[pchip]

Went ahead and called, got a fantastic and knowledgeable rep. She said that the offer is actually unlimited, and will last until they use up their quota OR 1 October whichever comes first. There are no charges and no restrictions, other than the mandatory 60 day transfer lock.*

She also said it is available to NEW customers also, so anyone having problems, have you tried multiple browsers? That seemed to help a few people.

Also, as long as the transfer is initiated during the special, then they are allowing a full 90 days for the transfer to complete, just in case someone updates their contact info and gets stuck with the Change of Registrant lock, this will allow plenty of time for the transfer.

My specific issue was that I forgot to turn off privacy and only did so after I started the transfer, so the approval emails are not getting through. She said if the system doesn't get a reply, it will REFRESH the contact email from whois after a couple days, so eventually they should come through. My other option was to cancel and start over, which I opted not to do.

*The standard hassles with NetSol are
1] you have to call to get Auth Codes, they try to talk you into staying. Best excuse say you sold the domain and they are pretty good about it.
2] push between accounts can be tedious - personally have not attempted
3] they will try and renew up to NINETY days ahead of time, and the renewal costs are high - $35ish
4] they have lots of internal marketing, there is a way to opt-out while you are checking out, not sure how to opt-out after the fact.

I am also fully aware that every rep has their own understanding so hopefully, the answers I got are accurate although some of this info does directly contradict what other members have been reporting

Good Luck everyone!

Much appreciated that you were able to verify this with someone from Network Solutions! That makes sense that they have a specific quota allocated for this promotion.

The standard hassles that you mentioned are some of the exact reasons why I would be scared to death moving dozens of names over to them. You might be able to save hundreds of dollars, but still not worth the risk/hassle IMO.

The e-mail spam that I get from them alone is insane, and that's only for a handful of domains.

Good luck!

Hello!

What exactly does "1 year term extension until October 1st" mean?
Does it mean 1 year extension, provided that the expiry occurs before October 1st? Or is October 1st only the deadline for the promotion? And in this case, must the transfer process be concluded by October 1st in order to be accepted at no fee? How about the domains that will expire after October 1st? Will they also get a full 1 year extension, with no extra fees?

Thanks!

it was said earlier.. octber 1st is simply the end of this promo
it is irrelevant to how much expiry time you get.

 

[Elad n]

i noticed that names that are from netfirms/domain.com are still on pending while names from fasthosts ie moved fast to the auth code phase.

 

[tldboss]

Works for me.

I am using firefox.

10 GD domains in progress, 1 namecheap domain complete, checked whois and date is now 10/2018

 

[alcy]

Some of you guys are crazy transferring hundreds of domains to Network Solutions. Please keep us updated in the coming months with your experience with Network Solutions, and definitely around renewal time next year. Someone should definitely resurrect this thread in the coming months.

With only a handful of domains myself (<10) at Network Solutions, I've experienced lots of e-mail spam from Network Solutions, cross selling various products - you might expect to see the same e-mail for each domain in your account.

When it was time to transfer my domains out, there was no bulk way that I know of to get Authorization codes, making transferring domains out very time consuming. All I can say, is have fun with that!

lucky for them, like someone posted above, if you try 100s of domains your account will most likely be suspended.. and you wont be able to login or reset passwords.

take that as good news... cause in the end this saves you from problems later on.. renewals etc... and potentially losing your domains as well.

 

[tonyk2000]

For the sake of fairness, I can say that (for my Snapnames-set netsol account) I've never - or almost never - received a single promotional email from Netsol. They however use to ask me to "confirm" my account details and whois much more frequently than they (or any other registrar) should per ICANN rules. And, as a matter of fact, there are various system bugs like for example ghost domains still showing at my account even after a successful transferaway, renewal reminders for these domains, so I started to set all domains to no-auto-renew even with plans to transfer away after 60 days - but this no-auto-renew setting sometimes mystically changed back to autorenew or was never applied, etc, etc.
Nothing unexpectable, NetSol is NetSol.

 

[DzAH]

I have done business with web.com before and learned my lesson.. My rules are:

1. never do business with web.com. Stay away forever.
2. when considering a new service, I should read reviews before I start using that service, not after.

 

[SellDomains.site]

yes.. true.. me too now I cannot login... and cannot reset pasword etc. like the other people said. same thing.

in a way I am glad it happened now.. rather than with some other good domains I had ordered but not yet entered auth codes.

so far the damage for me was only 3 transfered domains.. expired ones from domain.com for which I did not care much anyway. those are the only auth codes I entered.

imagine if you transfer some of your goodies there, and then they start going after your accnt!

wasted some time creating orders, but.. lesson hard learned. I will rememeber about ns for future.. not that I didn't hear terrible things before.. but.. free can be very tempting!

gl to all!

Lol same here , locked again all domains . Cancel transfers . Login error
