It’s official, Network Solutions is stealing domain names from its customers (proof here and here).   EVERY domain searched for is automatically registered by the company only seconds later.  That’s just one more reason to not trust registrars when you’re looking for the perfect domain name.

If you’re not already aware of that, I’m the author of a nifty little website called Ajaxwhois.  It allows you to lookup any domain name (including .ca, .uk and so on) and to perform whois queries on them.  All of this is, of course, ajaxified to the fullest extent.

The good thing is that Ajaxwhois does NOT send queries to ANY domain registrar and I certainly won’t steal the domain names you search for.

As found on Byrne Reese’s blog. Awesome!
