In the spirit of open communication, please read the following notice re : reissuing of deleted domain domain names... Until further notice, Network Solutions will be temporarily suspending the process of deleting domain names for which payment has not been received. In recent weeks the InterNIC has been spammed repeatedly with tens of thousands of requests by domain name speculators attempting to register deleted names. The huge volume of requests received reduced customer service levels for all customers. Temporarily suspending the name deletion process will remove the motivation behind the spamming, thereby hopefully eliminating the customer service problems and also allowing time to develop an appropriate longer-term solution to the spamming problem.
