This is for the information of everyone to be aware of the Network Solutions (http://www.networksolutions.com) modus operandi where they take and reserved all the domains you have search that will result from unavailability of the domain to other domain registrar. Try this for you to see:1. Go to http://www.philhosting.net/domainchecker.php and check any domain (blahblahblah) that is available.2. Go to http://www.networksolutions.com now and check the domain you have search.3. Now back to http://www.philhosting.net/domainchecker.php again and try to search the domain again and you will surprise that the domain is now taken.

Yeah that’s right, same here I tried it before. Network Solutions is a domain squatter. But after 4-8 days your domain will be available again.

I have tried checking it to network solutions, then i had seen philhosting.net with only P500 per year domain registration. After subscribing to them, they emailed me that the domain is not available. When i all did is check the domain to network solutions. I haven’t paid it to them!

Yes, I’ve experienced that too but I can’t remember if it’s with NS.

Actually this is not a problem at all, you can read to their website why they reserved such domain after you search them. At most, they reserved the domain name you search for up to 4 days.
Check the link from their website: http://about-networksolutions.com/customer-protection-measure.php

It’s not a problem? From 5 to 15 days unavailability? Since they posted this issue, the network solutions create a link to cover up their modus operandi. That link is not existed since this topic come up….
“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.”
actually it’s up to 15 days…

To be fair I think Network Solution is the best. other than philhosting.net if you going to register a available domain name in them, It will take 1-2 days before it been register. Hope they don’t have interest in a domain name the we think for an week and study carefully. We know how important the domain name to us. but if they hold the registration. that’s unfair because to other It will take 15min to register and 3 minutes to networksolution upon search.

i think my registered domain site was also harvested. the same thing happened. after the site was processed for registration, philhost told us that the domain was harvested by WHOIS ltd,last may 12. would it be possible that it will be available after 15 days?
