Submission + - Network Solutions Tweaks Registration Process 1
Keep Your Domain Safe writes: "After the charges of domain name front running made earlier this week, Cnet reports that Network Solutions will soon only register domains when people search for domains from the company's home page not from the company's Whois search page, will offer only an "under construction" page for sites that it has reserved, and newly reserved pages won't be linked to the numerical Internet addresses that allow Web browsers to locate the pages. Meanwhile ICANN says it is taking steps to combat domain name tasting the practice of allowing domain name registrars to park domain names for a five-day Add Grace Period (AGP) at no cost that many observers blame for the recent issues concerning Network Solutions. After the operators of the ".org" suffix won approval to charge companies that make too many returns, the number of deletions dropped to 152,700 in June, compared with 2.4 million in May, after the new fee took effect. The same change for ".com" suffixes could take months or years to be approved."
