Network Solutions<\/strong><\/a> is the original domain registrar, and although the days of $35 dollar \/year .com registrations are gone, it retains a large number of domains under management.<\/p>\n

When I registered my first domain in February 1997 with them, I actually had to fork out $100 for two years; the extra $15 per year went to some obscure Internet tax that was subsequently canceled.<\/p>\n

As part of the Web.com<\/strong><\/a> group of companies, NetSol has improved both its underlying technology and image, which is a good thing to witness.<\/p>\n

These days, Network Solutions is the sister company of SnapNames<\/strong><\/a>, which has expanded its ability to grab domains on the drop, making it a strong competitor in the field.<\/p>\n

One such domain caught by SnapNames ended up on a secondary registrar owned by Network Solutions, and I received an email informing me of the acquisition.<\/p>\n

The user account at Network Solutions wasn’t the one I use primarily; such fragmentation of accounts can lead to a lot of frustration and even loss of domain assets if one is negligent with their renewals.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there is now an option to merge user accounts at Network Solutions<\/strong>, and it’s quite simple.<\/p>\n

To merge Account A with Account B, one first logs into Account A – assuming you want to eliminate Account B altogether.<\/p>\n

Navigate to Account Manager > Account Settings, and click on the Merge User Ids. As long as you’re already logged in, the direct link is here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Once there, the following option appears:<\/p>\n

“You can merge two User IDs at a time. To merge more than two User IDs, you must first merge two then repeat the process.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At that point, you enter the user id and password of the account you want to eliminate. Any domains existing on that account will be moved to Account A, the one you’re logged in with.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple and instant solution to the long-existing problem of pushing domains between accounts you own while eliminating these extra accounts, and I definitely appreciate this improvement by Network Solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
