Network Solutions Reviews & Product Details

We host a lot of domains with Network Solutions--they have never gone down & their DNS "just works". The admin panel is well designed. We also use them for all of our SSL certificates.

Their support, even at the platinum level isn't great. They are also way too expensive for domain name registration compared to GoDaddy etc.

They have many options for domain management and web development, fairly standard for such companies. Prices for domains are fairly standard with good price breaks for multiple years renewal.

Navigating their menus after logging in is somewhat of a chore. You are constantly being bombarded with options to upgrade to this or that. Even updating Whois information is not a simple task.

We purchased several domain names and managed the DNS records one by one, sending them to our web hosting company. DNS propagation occurred over the standard period, as intended.

At the time of using Network Solutions, they offered free privacy with domains which I really enjoyed (probably not longer available). Like most similar companies, Network Solutions offers domain purchasing, web hosting, and website creation. Their DNS services section is designed in a nice manner, I do appreciate the simplicity of updating A or M records. Other than that, there has not been much that Network Solutions has done to impress me.

They're expensive. Average price of a domain is $50 compared to places like GoDaddy which is $20. When its a yearly fee, those $50 add up over time for multiple domains. Their UI is a bit tricky to navigate but they have been making updates these past few years to improve it. When I first started using Network Solutions, the renew domain function was difficult to find. The site would give me a notification that made it seem like I had to pay and extra fee for autorenew, but eventually I found the toggle switch.

We are solving the issue of keeping our domains in house instead of relying on somebody else to maintain them for us. It let us save a lot of money in maintenance fees.

I like that Network Solutions is easy to use.

Often times my emails to clients go to their SPAM folder.

Network Solutions helps my business stay in contact with our clients.

It’s simple, there aren’t many options other than send and receive email.

Emails get lost or filtered or some don’t get received. I can’t send emails quicker than 10 secs of the previous one-I’m a fast typer.

It’s simple, not a lot to figure out

the one on one time with a developer when we were designing our new site

trying to schedule time to schedule a call to review changes

we updated our out of date website with their help and have received multiple calls from it

Getting domain and website up were both easy and cheap

Configuring and checking e-mail is next to near impossible they continuously charge you and are not upfront about it

My website is finally up with my own domain at an affordable price

Easy to set up your website with a new domain and supposedly inexpensive

They arent upfront about what they are going to charge you so I suggest read the fine print

I now have my website up and running with my own domain but can't access the included email account

Did what it was supposed to do as we were starting up our eCommerce site

Lacking functionality website hangs occasionally

eCommerce website

The main reason I use network solutions is because of the price. I use them for my hosting and domain registration, and they often have good coupons and bundle deals.

The website is not very user friendly and it often times out. Transferring my hosting to them was an absolute mess and took it took me a while to get it working properly. It almost seemed like random pieces weren't transferred initially.

I do like that I can host my SQL Server database, all of my website information, and my email all in one location.
