It was Network Solutions (www.networksolutions.com) following up on a trouble ticket i submitted on their site for my web server.. not a sales call. Tech support to fix the problem i had.
Network Solutions (domain name registrar). They've become aggressive in the last few months even toward existing customers. Every time you renew or purchase a new domain, they try up-selling the hell out of it and repeatedly calling you to take a survey. They don't stop until you take the survey or blast the hell out of a telephone attendant ... until the next time you purchase something from them. Because they seem not to get the point (or don't care), they've just lost a long-time customer who's never used another registrar since his first domain purchase in the 90s. I'm actively looking for a new registrar to which I can transfer all my web properties.
Yep, must be Network Solutions. I just called a problem in with them yesterday. Today I get a call from this number. I didn't answer and no message was left. Josh is right, most of these domain name registrars are aggressively up-selling. Register.com is the worst of all in my experience. Two minutes after registering a domain name with them (and providing my new phone number), I get a call from Web.com, a web building site. I call Register.com back to complain and they admitted they "offer this as a service to their clients". I told them to take me off that list and they said it will take up to 30 days. What a joke! I will never use Register.com again and certainly not Web.com.
