For completeness sake I would add that they are Network Solutions in name only. They were purchased by web.com quite some time ago. I still have a few dozen domains with them only for the reason they are still less vulnerable to intimidation than other registrars from my experience and that is worth paying a little more than the mark-up over the internic mandated minimum registration costs. I have been on the fence about moving my domains to Mark Monitor which costs quite a bit more and may not make sense for hobby/testing/email-only domains. For what it's worth, if you see registrars charging less than $10-15/yr/tld varies by TLD then they are making their money from their customers by up-selling other services. All of the registrars are obligated to pay a non-negotiable base fee per domain based on the TLD. I am not a lawyer but have dealt with dozens of registrars in the US and EU. When moving domains and getting unlock codes, always do this on the phone with their customer support team. Log names and ticket numbers. If they stall or push back, tell them you need the name of their legal council for your legal team to reach out to. Also give them your ticket number to add to the case. (fictitious is ok, just make up a JIRA number). Do this without any emotion. If they say this is not a business account, mention that it is a legacy account being wrapped up into a new account. At the same time and less likely to be effective path but very likely to get their attention would be to start the process of removing their registrar accreditation, especially if you have many people in a similar situation. |

Isn’t the base fee like $1-2? Did it really go up to $10?
