Network Solutions is facing harsh criticism for a new consumer-protection measure that grabs names that people search for on its web site but don't immediately register.
The name is locked up for about four days, during which the person who made the search can buy it directly from the company for $35 a year a few times more than what many of its rivals charge. After that, the name returns to the pool and can be registered by anyone through any registration company.
