We use Network Solutions to host our domains. This covers a few domains, security, safety, whosit and various domain related services. We use it daily. Network Solutions is easy to use and comparatively cost effective. The website is easy to use and cloud based.
  • website based
  • easy set-up
  • easy to reach customer service
  • website does not work well with certain browsers (Safari, Firefox)
  • sometimes pushy upgrade and additional services emails
  • auto billing cycle alignments (had to call to get figured out)
Network Solutions is useful for building a website. Protecting your domain. Do it yourself management and set up. This would not be useful if you are using Squarespace or a similar product the costs do not line up.
  • easy to navigate
  • affordable
  • users can visit our website
  • never had issues
  • domain works correctly with other services (google)
Network Solutions was the easiest to use and (at the time) the lowest cost option.

Network Solutions is utilized to host DNS and provide a wildcard SSL certificate for one of our domains and hosts the main web page and DNS for another of our domains.
  • Network solutions supports TXT, MX, and CNAME records.
  • DNS changes propagate fairly quickly.
  • Network Solutions has a web management portal for maintenance of your account.
  • The webpage for managing our DNS, SSL, and hosted webpage is cumbersome to navigate and difficult to make changes.
  • Configuring DKIM records with O365 was a hassle and I had to do a lot of digging to figure out how to get it done with Network Solutions.
  • Network solutions does not support DNSSEC.
  • When I renewed my SSL certificate, my CSR was rejected multiple times with little to no explanation fro Network Solution.
  • When I call into support for anything I am constantly transferred between teams and told, "I'm sorry, we don't handle that on this team."
I have yet to find a situation where Network Solutions would be the best solution. Their customer support is severely lacking, their prices do not appear to be as low as other more known DNS registrars, their webpage to manage your account needs a complete overhaul, and documentation on their website (for configuration explanations) is sparse.
  • Renewing an SSL certificate should have been a simple process after I submitted the CSR, but Network solutions wasted multiple weeks of my time to complete this.
  • We currently have an issue with our hosted webpage, we cannot get the page to support multiple aliases utilizing Network Solutions.
  • Any A, MX, TXT, or CNAME record updates do tend to propagate fast than any other DNS registrar I have worked with.
We have other domains and SSL hosted with GoDaddy and while GoDaddy's web management currently has issues, it is because they are currently switching over to a new web management system and getting the bugs worked out. Network Solutions has had the same old interface for 3+ years. Renewing our SSL certificates with GoDaddy was a much simpler process, I submitted the CSR from my account and within 3 days I was notified that my SSL was complete and ready for download.

I've used Network Solution most commonly for domain registration and DNS. I've occasionally also worked with their web hosting service. They provide other services as well. We use it when consulting with clients whose domains, DNS, or websites are hosted there.
  • They do appear to have very low INTRODUCTORY prices on many of their services.
  • User interface for service management: their interfaces for DNS management especially are quite buggy, but across the board, it's clunky and outdated.
  • Support: I can't remember any good experience I've ever had with their support.
  • Reliability: I've experienced frequent issues with DNS and hosting reliability.
Based on my experiences with Network Solutions, I would not recommend any of their services at this time. I know of no specific issues with domain registration, so if the cost comparison makes sense, then perhaps it would be reasonable to buy domains from them, but be beware of the introductory price and know what you'll be paying for it in the long term when you price compare.
  • Poor reliability has impacted sites and services.
  • Poor support has led to wasted time and poor results.
  • Buggy interface has wasted time and caused issues.
Based on my experience to date, I would rate Network Solutions easily at the bottom of the list. I have not previously and would not select Network Solutions, but have worked with it as related to sites and clients previously set up there.
