I work for Network Solutions and we understand that this is a difficult time and we are already taking proactive steps to ease the burden on merchants that may have been impacted by this issue by providing assistance with their customers that may have been impacted. To help affected folks.find information quickly we have setup a website http://www.careandprotect.com./ Thanks, Shashi B

You mean a RSS feed for service notifications only? Good idea. Let me work on that.

Here is a update that we posted on the Network Solutions Blog (http://cli.gs/GEWSs0) : DNS queries for web sites should be responding normally. Thank you all for your understanding. As always, we will continue to work to take measures to prevent these and other types of technical issues caused by third parties that may impact our customers. Thanks, ShashiB

We have been listening to comments here as well as those on other sites regarding our customer protection measure. Throughout the launch of this effort we have made, and continue to make, improvements to our protection measure. Here is an update on some of the improvements we are implementing in the near term: 1) We have changed the current webpage to which reserved domain names resolve to a general under construction page. Additionally, all new reserved names after tonight will not resolve to any page at all. 2) This week, we will be making enhancements that will address the concerns related to disclosure of zone file and DNS server information of the reserved names. This should address some of the concerns recently raised. 3) Very soon we will remove our customer protection measure from our WHOIS search page, so that no domains searched on this page will be reserved. We will continue to reserve, however, domains searched from our homepage.
