Isn't Network Solutions the company that got caught buying up domains that users would search for, if they didn't buy them immediately? Thereby forcing users to backorder domains at an increased cost? This post does not surprise me. GoDaddy isn't close to this bad.

I thought it was GoDaddy that was caught doing that.

I thought they both were, maybe at different times.

GoDaddy certainly purchase their customers' domains when they expire though, then sell them back at a huge markup.
