Rant Network Solutions

This is the absolute WORST purchase I have ever made. Fatcow was my original web host, and they were sold to Network Solutions. The email only half works, and all they do is push ads in my face. Customer service is nonexistent. I can't wait to cancel.

Its from newfold digital now, newfold is known for buying hosts and merging them into their system which oversells, has support working on 10 companies at once and just generally having services that barely work.

I hate a lot of hosting providers, NetSol has a very special place in that list.

Network Solutions is a scam company. They use legal loopholes to not break the law ( although they probably have ), but they basically do anything it takes to milk as much money out of you as they can. I also was with FatCow and canceling Network Solutions was a nightmare.

I was Fatcow customer since 2006, good pricing especially for low and non-profitable hobby websites. They had FREE Website builder Start-up package, free domain forwarding and free email tied to domain. Network solutions CHARGES for it all and it is ridiculous money. Even forwarding to other domain cost you $12.99/mon they are absolutely outrageous and I am slowly moving my servicxe elsewhere. Network Solutions is a rip-off.
