BEWARE of searching for domain names!

Register Searched Domains!

When you run a search on a domain name to see if it's registered, be prepared to buy it on the spot if it's available.

You see, if you check a domain's availability with Network Solutions, the registrar will put it on "reserve" (which effectively means that it registers the domain).

Then, the only place you can register the domain name is with Network Solutions -- at its chosen price.

This practice has been called Domain Tasting, and there have been rumours of it going on for a number of years. I have had many customers experience this first hand, and now Network Solutions happily admits to it!
