Hmm, he.net (and their popular free DNS auth name servers) appears to be gone from the .NET zone:

$ dig he.net @a.gtld-servers.net. |& grep status:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 38169

It seems like it's in "clientHold" status:

$ whois he.net |& grep 'Domain Status'
   Domain Status: clientHold https://icann.org/epp#clientHold
   Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited

Given it's set to expire in 2033, maybe there is some legal issue? Maybe not confirmed their contact details or something.

@demize I would take a guess and say that they may have missed one of those "whois information confirm" emails that ICANN now enforces that you send (and suspend domains that dont confirm)

@benjojo I don't think you actively have to do anything with those emails. The registrars just have to send them out at interval, from what I've seen.

@benjojo Apparently it's a complaint regarding a phishing domain linked on bgp.he.net according to a post by Reid Fishler on the NANOG forums.

There are two kinds of people who have experience with Network Solutions:

A) Those who have been fucked over by them

B) Those who have not yet been

@benjojo Bloody hell. Take down a domain name because of phishing? Can we try amazon.com and google.com next?

@benjojo

i moved all my domains off of netwonk slowlutions in 2011 and nothing i've seen or heard since has made me regret that decision.

@benjojo why .. teh fuck.. is an entity as savvy as HE hosting with shitwork solutions? It sucks this happened to them, but COME ON. NETSOL has been a joke for over a decade.

@Brahn netsol was basically(*) the first domain registrar, and he.net is very old. It's hard to argue a proactive change when dealing with a domain that is nearly 30 years old!
