Network Solutions Screws Up (Again)
from the are-these-guys-really-that-stupid dept
In this past Up-To-Date, I mentioned that Network Solutions had killed off a number of legitimate web sites in their attempt to clear off domain speculators. I was referring to the story of webtechs.com (no link, go yourself if you want to see it), which got booted, despite being legitimate. It was a very popular site, and linked to from many locations, and now a porn site has taken control over the domain. You can read all about how badly Network Solutions screwed up there, as written by the domain owner. This story hasn't been picked up by the press as far as I can tell. Now, however, Network Solutions has also killed off the site of the well known marketing research firm, the Aberdeen Group. In response Aberdeen has posted a report about how stupid Network Solutions is.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
