Network Solutions is not the only registrar

Network Solutions is not the only domain name registrar.

ICANN has opened the domain registry to additional registrars. At this time, there are more than 30 ICANN-accredited domain name registrars of gTLD (com, net and org) domains. This has opened the door to competitive pricing as well as a greater concern for the end-user's satisfaction with the services provided by the different registrars.

In addition, the term InterNIC is no longer synonymous with Network Solutions. As written on the InterNIC FAQ page:

The InterNIC is a concept for an integrated network information center that was developed by several companies, including Network Solutions, in cooperation with the U.S. Government. Under a recent agreement with the U.S. Government, Network Solutions is transitioning from the use of the word "InterNIC" in connection with its products and services. InterNIC is a registered service mark of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
