Basically, I had little luck. Seems like all domains are already taken. <br /></p>
<p>Then again, there are a variety of domain name aggregators that are buying up virtual real estate. And one of the top players in the space is <a href="http://www.namemedia.com">NameMedia</a>.</p>
<p>Now, the company has <a href="http://www.dealprofiles.com/ipoprofile.htm?CompanyID=216">filed</a> to go public.</p>

<p>For years, I have bought tons of things online - from big places like Amazon.com to small outfits. For the most part, service has been fine, especially from Amazon.com.</p>
<p>About a month ago, though, things went haywire. In one week, I had three bad experiences with online merchants. </p>
<p>The good news is that two of them were resolved very quickly. In fact, in one case, I knew the CEO. His company, VistaPrint Ltd. (NASDAQ:VPRT), is a fast-growing online printer. </p>
<p>Hey, even those companies that are built-to-last get things wrong. The important thing is how they respond. And VistaPrint was flawless. Impressively, I talked to the CEO a couple hours before his earnings conference call (and, by the way, his company had a blow-out quarter).</p>
<p>But my experience was much different with another company, Network Solutions. The company sells web hosting and domain names. I'm sure I've spent thousands of dollars - over the years - with this company.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2006/10/25/network-solutions-my-online-customer-service-nightmare/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Network Solutions: My online customer service nightmare</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2006/10/25/network-solutions-my-online-customer-service-nightmare/">Network Solutions: My online customer service nightmare</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 25 Oct 2006 12:05:00 EST.
