In response to customer concerns about domain names being registered by someone else just after they have conducted a domain name search, Network Solutions is implementing a new security measure to protect our customers.
What is the Customer Protection Measure?
Network Solutions may reserve domain names that are searched on our Web site for up to 4 days. During this period, these domain names will only be available to register at networksolutions.com.
- This customer protection measure may
be enabled when a customer searches for
an available .com domain name at
networksolutions.com but decides not to
purchase the name immediately after
conducting the search.
- After the search ends, Network Solutions will put the domain name on reserve. During this reservation period, the name is not active and Network Solutions does not monetize the traffic on these domains.
- If a customer searches for the domain again during the next 4 days at networksolutions.com the domain will be available to register.
- If the domain name is not purchased within 4 days, it will be released back to the registry and will be available for registration through any registrar.
- Domain names searched on the WHOIS search page will NOT be reserved.
- This protection measure provides our customers the opportunity to register domains they have previously searched without the fear that the name will be already taken through Front Running.
- By holding the searched domains at Network Solutions for a short period, it allows our customers to take the time to decide whether this is the domain name that they really want to register.
