bastards.
was onsite the 27th going to switch a company to a .com email address that had to do with their business name. typed it in on networksolutions.com. made a screen shot of it for the customer, and emailed to the boss who wasn't there.... 3 days later he agreed on the deal. we went to purcahse the domain. and networksolutions said it was no longer available, THEY had purchased it and it was 4X MORE than what we had seen 3 days earlier.... this normal practice for these SOB's ???? |

Yep.
Most registrars do that. People search for a domain and then after 3 days they register it under their name. Happens all the time. I just type any web address I want into IE and if I get a 404 it's probably free. Av. |

Just do a whois on somerandomshit.com, haharipedyouofftoo.com, dnsthievingarsehole.com, nohairpieforyou.com, justcostyoutwobucks.com, gotthejokeyet.com...
Every time they register that shit they are out something like $2.50. Hell, write a perl script that usesadictionary.com

Not correct, there is an "add grace period" where the registrar can keep the domain for up to (I think) 5 days without being charged by the registry. A lot of unscrupulous registrars make use of that to "sample " for domains getting lots of type in traffic then they keep the domain with an advertising page on it. Edit to add: if he is lucky OP will probably find the domain available again now. |
