Network Solutions Hijacking Unassigned SUBDOMAINS
April 9, 2008
Checking out Domain Bits today, there was a damn interesting post that absolutely shocked me. It was mentioned at Tech Crunch, but I don’t visit their site as often as Domain Bits ;).
Network Solutions is now hijacking unassigned sub-domains. This means that a URL like mysub.fka200.com (mysub being the subdomain) would actually lead to a parked page where Network Solutions can make some money off of the advertisements.
C’MON! How crappy can one company get?!
I used to think Network Solutions was a respected company; Now I just think they are scum of the earth. I’d imagine a hosting company getting away with something like this (those are super easy to change)… but a registrar?
Edit:
Was just reading the Tech Crunch article and saw this:
I don’t know if this is standard practice for a hosting company, but this strikes me as another case of Network Solutions unreasonably profiting at the expense of its customers.
Extremely interesting and frustrating… even though I have no domains with them.
