If you need help with domain registrations dont phone them - I just
tried phoning because they rejected a host registration request.

Their answerphone message tells you to visit their website for payment
enquires and starts telling you the url as 'http colon backslash'!!!! If
Internic cant get their own domain right what luck do we have?

I just ran into this problem today, so in reply to my own reply,
InterNIC /
Network Solutions no longer displays whether or not a domain is "on
hold"
via whois queries. I had to call them to find out that one of our
customer's virtual domains was put on hold.
