"Please note that unsubscribing from our marketing emails will not affect important transactional correspondence such as administrative and renewal notices related to your account."
i.e. Anyone whom DIDN'T get this email because they have previously unsubscribed are still going to be stealth-charged? Are Network Solutions TRYING to put themselves out of business?
Here I collected prices for domains (only what I'm interested in). If you did that too, I'd be glad to see your spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amel5Zz4w7aLdFl...
Look at http://www.crazydomains.co.uk/ , they only charge £2.67 per domain name, the cheapest I have seen.

I do not have an active credit card on file with them nor do I have any domains or hosting services. They send me e-mails every month trying to bill me for something that I haven't signed up for with language indicating that I'm about to "lose" my services (that don't exist) if I don't pay. They're terrible. It…
