Rescuing your domain name after Network Solutions registers it

If you want to create a new Web site and try to see if a domain name is available by searching for it with the Network Solutions Web site, you may find that Network Solutions says that the domain name is available, but a later search via a different Web site shows the name as taken. This can happen because Network Solutions will register the name for themselves immediately after you search for it with their Web site. (This is called "front running.") You then need to pay their full $34.99 price to register the domain name.

If this has happened to you, we can help — we'll buy it from Network Solutions for you! Just sign up for our standard Web hosting package, and we will issue your account a $34.99 credit (if necessary) and transfer the domain from Network Solutions to us. You'll get Web hosting, e-mail service, and our excellent customer support. We also include free WHOIS domain privacy, and free automatic annual renewal of your domain name.

We never charge any setup fees or cancellation fees. Of course, we still guarantee your satisfaction with our 90-day No Hassle Money-Back Guarantee and our 99.9% Uptime Guarantee. There's no risk for you!

Note: If you want to rescue a domain name from Network Solutions but don't want to sign up for Web hosting, please see our domain name only offer below.

How to begin (Web hosting offer)

1. Go to our home page. Enter the domain name at the top of the page and click Submit. (If the domain is available, then this offer doesn't apply to you and you don't need to do anything special. Just go ahead and sign up for our Web hosting package. No credits will need to apply to your account.)
2. If the domain has already been registered, click on the link to transfer the domain name to us. Choose our Silver Web hosting plan and follow the instructions to complete the sign-up process.
3. Send us an e-mail asking us to rescue your domain name from Network Solutions. Be sure to tell us your domain name. (If you have already bought the domain name from Network Solutions, also include your Network Solutions user ID and password so that we can manage the domain for you.)

If you have not yet bought the domain name from Network Solutions, we will pay the $34.99 to purchase the domain from Network Solutions on your behalf. If you have bought the domain name from Network Solutions, we will issue your account a $34.99 credit to cover the price that you paid to Network Solutions.

Terms

Here are the terms of this special Web hosting offer:

1. Offer limited to one domain name per person or organization.
2. You must sign up and pay for one year of Web hosting up-front. This costs $75.00 per year (which is equivalent to $6.25 per month). This is less expensive than the equivalent Network Solutions cost of $128.50.
3. You must sign up to transfer the domain name from Network Solutions to us. However, Network Solutions places a 60-day hold on the transfer of new domains. Our system will track this period, and after 60 days we will transfer the domain name registration from Network Solutions to us.
4. If you have not yet registered the domain name with Network Solutions, we will register it for you, setting you as the registrant and ourselves as the administrative contact (so that we can easily manage it). When the domain name is transferred from Network Solutions to us after 60 days, we will set you as the administrative contact.
5. This offer is not valid for domain name only accounts. (See below for a different offer!)

Domain Name Only Offer

The above offer is for those who want to use the domain name for a Web site. However, if you just want to register the domain name without signing up for Web hosting and e-mail, we can still help! If you have searched for the domain name at the Network Solutions Web site but have not yet purchased it, just sign up to transfer the domain name to us. We will add it to our special watch list. Our servers will wait for Network Solutions to release the domain name (usually in about four days), and will grab it for you when it becomes available. Doing this will let you avoid paying Network Solutions.

Our domain name package costs only $20.00 per year – less expensive than Network Solutions' annual price of $34.99 plus $9.00 for WHOIS domain privacy. Domain names can be parked, redirected, or used as secondary names for existing Web sites hosted on our servers.

If you have already purchased the domain name from Network Solutions, you can still sign up to transfer the domain name to us. Transferring a registered domain name adds a year to its expiration date. (Please note that under this option we will not credit you for the amount that you have already paid Network Solutions.)

Terms

Here are the terms of this special domain name only offer:

1. You must sign up and pay for a standard one year domain name only account, at a cost of $20.00 per year. This is less expensive than the standard Network Solutions annual cost of $34.99 plus $9.00 for WHOIS domain privacy.
2. You must sign up to transfer the domain name from Network Solutions to us.
3. If you have not yet registered the domain name with Network Solutions, we will place it on our watch list and will try to register it for you when it becomes available (usually within four days of the time that you searched for it at the Network Solutions Web site). If we successfully register the domain name, we will set you as the registrant and ourselves as the administrative contact (so that we can easily manage it).
4. If you have already registered the domain name with Network Solutions, it cannot be transferred for 60 days. Our system will track this period, and after 60 days we will transfer the domain name registration from Network Solutions to us.
5. Please note that this domain name only offer does not refund or credit any amount that you may have already paid to Network Solutions. The $20.00 that you pay to us will be used to extend the domain name registration by one year.
6. This offer is not valid for Web hosting accounts. (See the top half of the page for a different offer!)
