Network Solutions is a for-profit company, and always has been. They are also

currently the operator of InterNIC, the US government domain registry. This has

been the modus operandi for some time. A Network Solutions logo has appeared at

internic.net for years. internic.net may soon be awarded to another company, or

companies.

You can register, or host, your site with any company, but you will pay

InterNIC, through Network Solutions, for the name fee.

Always check the Whois. The registrations, if there are no overt errors on your

part, are usually done within minutes, and in Whois the next day. The

confirmation emails are sometimes a low priority, or don't get sent out at all.
