    Network Solutions Is Sued Over Sale Of Domain Names

    A Los Angeles law firm filed a lawsuit Monday against Network Solutions LLC, one of the biggest sellers of domain names, alleging the Herndon, Va., company improperly profits from the way it reserves a domain name after a potential customer searches for it.

    The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the central district of California, also named the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or Icann, a nonprofit body that coordinates key facets of the Internet's domain-name system. Neither Network Solutions nor Icann had any comment on the suit. The lawsuit was filed by Kabateck, Brown, Kellner LLP.

    Basically the suit alleges that when one searches for a domain name via an independant registrar, NetSol grabs it for themselves and force you to buy it at a higher price!

    That's not actually correct.

    The problem is that if you search via Netsol they grab it, so you can't get it anywhere else. Netsol have no way of knowing what you are checking elsewhere.
