I have my domain name registered with Network Solution, active until 2017-09-14. They transfer my domain name ownership to New Ventures Services Corp. When I contact New Ventures Services Corp, they want to sell my domain name back to me for $977.00.
Register your domain name with Network Solutions if you want to lose it.
