I had a domain registered with Network Solutions for over 20 years in part out of inercia and in part because their transfer process is so scary. I actually started the process twice over the last 10 years and they offered me a half price for a year ($15 which is still expensive) so I let it stay put both times.

This year I finally decided to move out and it was a full week with the exact issues described in this post and it was a scary week! Network Solutions, never again.
