They are a terrible company.
Their customer service is non-existent - and if you actually manage to get a response, you are well advised to do the opposite, and as they are consistently clueless about, well, everything. If they wrote instructions on how to drink water, they would probably get that wrong.
While buying anything, their checkout process bombards you with bait and switch ads.
Most importantly, their advertising strategy perpetuates the stereotype of woman as object.
We will be switching soon. I have nothing good to say about them, their service, their company ethos, or their products.
I would love to hear some recommendations for registrars.
Cheers,
Bill

For me, I do admit to some inertia factors but I've been using Network Solutions since before the commercial Internet. It's awfully nice to keep all the different domains I have to take care of under one roof.
