I don't know how much longer Redmonk.Net is going to be on the air. I managed to postpone re-registering the domain, not it has expired. I tried to transfer the domain to Dotster, and got this response from the transfer request to NetSol:
Because the domain name, REDMONK.NET, did not meet the criteria to change registrars, Network Solutions/Verisign has instructed the Registry not to change the registrar. Specifically, the domain name didn't meet the criteria because: It is not in a paid status at Network Solutions/Verisign. Sincerely, Network Solutions, Inc.
Change of Registrar Group
Dear Steve Ivy:
Of course, no link or email address is provided to let me talk to someone at NetSol and kick some a**. I am only told, "you cannot transfer your domain because it is our version of limbo." I conspiratorially imagine this is the case so that I cannot transfer my expired domain before Network Solutions has a chance to auction it off. Bastards.
So, I'm thinking about registering a new domain, monkinetic.com. Hmmm. What do you think?
