Sorry, Sahar, but I gotta disagree with you on this one. Network Solutions' .com domain prices have been $30 a year on their storefront, before, during, and (if ever) after this current practice they're doing. And they'll likely keep it that way depending on their business model. If you're one of their VIP customers, though, you get a coupon code. ;)

Guilty by your own admission. 34.99$ per year for a .com when other registrars are selling them for 7$ is inflated prices.

Big "no no" on this issue. (PS: also there link selling/buying is in the grey area. How else do you call "get 5 links per month to a site for 800$/month"? http://www.networksolutions.com/web-site-promotion/slv.jsp) Network solutions: reminds of the old days with 75$ domains, a 2 year mininum and snailmail notices of renewal. :)
