Network Solutions is a technology company which was founded in 1979. The domain name registration business has become the most important division of the company; Network Solutions' approximately 500employees are dedicated to providing excellent customer support and offering innovative, reliable products and services. Network Solutions, Inc. has settled Federal Trade Commission charges that its deceptive marketing practices unlawfully tricked consumers into transferring their Internet domain name registrations to the company.

The terms of the settlement permanently bar Network Solutions from misrepresenting that a consumer's domain name is about to expire or that the transfer of a domain name is actually a renewal. Network Solutions feels strongly that personal information should be kept private. When you register a domain name, ICANN requires that your address, e-mail and phone number be published in the public WHOIS database which is available for anybody to view on the Web.
