“Our customers need a reliable way to backorder domain names,” said John Donoghue, executive vice-president of Network Solutions. “Next Registration Rights makes it easier and more efficient for our customers to obtain a currently registered domain name. We are excited to offer customers an early opportunity to submit pre-orders for the domain names they want before the service goes live.”
