If you are thinking about creating a website, don't EVER check if the domain is available on Network Solutions. Why? They'll steal it and force you to use them to register it (as opposed to TUCOWS or GoDaddy). If you fail to register it with them in 4 days, there is a good chance that milliseconds AFTER they release the name, a cyber-squatter will grab it up and steal it from you.

Don't believe me? Go ahead and try to register www.thereheisRULES.com (or something like that) on Network solutions. It will say it is available. Then use GoDaddy to do the same thing. It will say it is NOT available and Network Solutions owns it.

If you want to create a website, a good rule of thumb is this: don't check the availability of a web address until you are ready to buy it (and also have a few backup ideas ready). If you don't do it all at the same time, there is a good chance that someone will steal it out from under you and extort ask you to pay a premium for it.
