Network Solutions Hit With DDoS 91
New submitter Landy DeField was the first of many of write in about Network Solutions' website and DNS outage: "If your website does not load this morning you need to ask yourself do we use Network Solutions? Because all of their servers are all currently down. You can confirm this by visiting this site."
The only solid information from Network Solutions is a post on their Facebook page: "Network Solutions is experiencing a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack that is impacting our customers as well as the Network Solutions site. Our technology team is working to mitigate the situation. Please check back for updates." There have been several reports that the outage is causing hosted DNS to fail, leading to a number of unresolvable websites.

Probably all those cheeky sales strategies like auto-renewal at any price without confirmation. A free email box that turns into a paid one and can only be cancelled with a support ticket. Shit like that certainly annoys me.

You forget the reserving of domains after you check for availability so that you can only purchase it from them.
