    New subsidiary? That's funny, I could have sworn they sent me something about renewing through them...

    I thought the same thing, Hemos, but it actually isn't a dupe.

    Verisign tried to change the name last July, but it took six months for the change to go through.

    Maybe they're realizing people don't want to submit DNA samples to fix incorrect information regarding their domain name.

    ...Verisign isn't trying to change the name; someone faxed forms with fake signatures in, and the temps just processed the forms without checking them. Next, Verisign will have to go through a dispute process to get its corporate name back.

    "Does anyone have anything positive to say about netsol, I mean they really were and are a horrible company that overprices everything."

    Not everything I got from them is overpriced. For instance, when I had a registered domain with them, I used to get lots of free email offers delivered straight to my inbox!
