I continue to love Network Solutions. Last night I was sending some email to my friend Tony, and it was processed normally. Imagine my surprise when I got the mail bounced back to me with this in the header:
paul@phonezilla.net does not exist
Aungh! I didn’t think too much of it, and put a message on my site saying that Network Solutions was funky. Then, the phone rang, and it was none other than Ryan. Yes, our first ever phone call was him telling me that my site was down, and the WHOIS entry claimed it expired in January.
This was all news to me, as I received not one email from Network Solutions at any time telling me that my domain was about to expire! Incredible. I immediately freaked and chose to renew my domain… and you know what? Not even 24 hours later, it was back up. Here are a few alternative slogans I’ve designed for Network Solutions:
Network Solutions: "We Succeed At Being Sucky" (sm)
Network Solutions: "Our service might suck, but when you’re giving us money, we’re 133T." (sm)
Network Solutions: "The Best Buy of Domain Registrars" (sm)
Network Solutions: "Oh, just give yourself a lobotomy instead." (sm)
