Daily Domains March 14th, 2008 Food for Thought

Wasted DomainNames.com If you have ever wondered who owns DomainNames.com, I have the answer for you - Network Solutions. They are in the business of selling domain names, so of course they have DomainNames.com pointed to a page on their site where you can register domain names right? Wrong. It is simply not being used
