is it though? is it REALLY?? What's the cost for a lost domain for ~1 day while you try to haggle with netsol (good luck!) on the phone to recover your domain? (for someone who actually makes money on the internet I mean.. fergdawg.com.net.org.com doesn't count for this conversation :) ) I suppose they COULD move their domain to a registrar that does registrar-lock for 'free', but that's a cost too, right? man power, configuration mistakes, other billing things to setup... 1800 might be 'ok' for someone who's making a bunch of money/day. right? and heck... if netsol gets 10 people to buy it they probably paid for the work to actually do the 'registrar lock' right? :) > On 1/22/2014 3:49 PM, Jay Farrell wrote: > >> Updated: >> >> http://domainnamewire.com/2014/01/22/web-com-weblock-program-will-be-opt-in-not-opt-out/ >> >> --quote-- In an interview with Domain Name Wire today, Web.com COO >> Jason Teichman said the program will actually be opt-in, and no one >> will be charged for the service unless they agree to add it. >> >> “Candidly, we did not do a good job in wording that [email],” >> Teichman said. “Every one of those customers is getting a call. >> It’s not our intention to enroll anyone in a program they don’t >> want.” >> >> Web.com plans to offer the service to its top 1% of customers >> according to domain traffic, value of brands, etc. That’s about >> 30,000 customers in all.
