Not only are they overpriced and evil, not only do they shove special discount offers in your face in the hope you'll pay twice as much without noticing it, but<P>...whenever I try to renew through them I get an error message at the end of the process.
Ah well. I've transfered the registration to Gandi.net now. They cost only half as much.<P>------------------

I've heard nothing but bad things about Network Solutions. Good thing you moved away, I suppose.<P>------------------

Well, most of the complaints are about how they are overpriced and evil. I would have put up with that (because I hate uncertainty more than evil domain name providers) if their site actually worked, and that is a complaint that no one actually makes - except for me.<P>------------------

Thanks for the warning.<P>You know, I haven't told anyone else yet, but I downloaded AutoKeenLite, am checking it for bugs, and if it runs smoothly.....

Some of the bad things I've heard about Network Solutions lately involve their attempts to keep customers from leaving by making the process not work. I hope your change went without a hitch <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------

Well it's not as if ROCR.net is an ideal domain name. IT's a good compromise compared to the full name, but there are other options.<P>They could make it difficult I suppose by arguing that my renewal was due in 17 days, and the changeover can take up to 7. Then I could argue, loudly and publically, that I'd made 4 bonafide attempts at renewing through their site starting last month...<P>------------------

Silly Reinder, there's only two choices, either more art supplies or more comic books. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>------------------

The transfer of the domain to Gandi.net was completed without a hitch.<P>Now what am I going to do with the 18 bucks I saved...<P>------------------

Bumping this up just to remind people that I don't control which banner ads appear on rocr.net, and the occasional NSI ad in no way constitutes my endorsement of NSI <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------
