Verisign Gets Out of the Registrar Biz, Keeps .com Registry

Posted by michael on from the overpriced-cruddy-service dept.

Perianwyr Stormcrow writes "Verisign shot off a message today saying that they're selling off Network Solutions to Pivotal Private Equity (a firm specializing in picking up and turning around 'under-performing' businesses.) Perhaps Sitefinder was an attempt at maximizing shareholder value for the sale."

    I can see their wanting to get out of this service and I'm all for it. They have had crappy security, and attemp zero liability similar to an EULA. Give us some money and we'll try to do what you want, but if not tough shit.

    I'm sure running the servers is the easy part.
