How do I get value from Network Solutions?
Recently I got a couple of domains from Network Solutions. A colleague in IT just raved about how they’re the best, they have the most services, they’re the Hertz/VISA/Nike/AmazoneBay of web services – how could I go wrong?
Well, I’m thinking I did go wrong. Though my friend touted the “free” website setup I could get at NS, I ended up paying $60 annual for lowest-tier web hosting. That’s OK, but then I found out I had to use THEIR web design tool – and after a 30-day trial, THAT will also cost me. Further, their tool is worse than inflexible – it fails to function because it overrides or erases my setup.
What I’m thinking now is to transfer my domains (since I own them now) to another web service (GoDaddy or some other). I want to contact my credit card company and cancel the web hosting/design tool part of my purchase with NS.
Has anyone dealt with managing their own domains and websites? Any *good* advice (as opposed to my colleague’s) as to what my options are now?
