Think twice before using NS...
In the past two weeks TechBlog.org has been receiving emails of people complaining about Network Solutions' (NS) questionable business ethics. On their site people can type a domain name to see if that domain is available or if it's taken. If the domain extension you wish to register is already registered, NS will advise which other extension might be available for you. However, it dosen't stop there. Today, when one of TechBlog.org's readers checked a domain for a client, Network Solutions' site said it was available, so he gave the news back to his client.

Overall, server power use is growing faster in the Asia Pacific region than anywhere else on the globe. Japan isn't part of that trend, however. As a whole, China, India and Indonesa are growing at a rather fast pace, fueling growth for the Asia Pacific region, which also includes Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries.
