NetSol domain theft?

Last year I bought a domain which was registered with NetSol. A month before the renewal was due I requested that they transfer the registration out to my ISP who deals with all my other registrations and hosting - which as the owner of the domain I'm entitled to do. They totally ignored several requests. The renewal came up while I was abroad on vacation and within a few days they sold my domain out from under me to a waiting buyer. When I got back from vacation my domain was gone. As the registrar, they obviously had an interest in the sale and the ongoing registraton fees. When I complained they said it was my fault! How about that?

Are Network Solutions hosted web sites down?

Since February 17, 2008 haven't been able to reach a multitude of websites hosted by Network Solutions. I emailed Network Solutions over 72 Hours ago to inquire. All I have received back is an automoted message that I would receive a response within 24 Hours....

For example two sites I can't get to - and have had others try also...

tyherndon.com

texasranger.org

Anybody know anything? Is it a repeat of the 2006 Service Disruption?

Jason, you are hilarious!

Network Solutions' "solution" to front running is front running. What a twisted argument that is - thanks for breaking it down so clearly.

Network Solutions is the devil

Network Solutions has registered a domain name that I had been interested in after I performed a WHOIS inquiry at their site. They still are squatting on the name - apparently they have it locked up for one year. Avoid Network Solutions WHOIS - or they will steal your name. They should be thrown in prison.
