VeriSign fired back at critics of its controversial--and temporarily suspended--domain-name redirect service, saying that Net regulators had no authority to force the company to shut it down.
VeriSign has refused a request from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to remove its controversial redirect service.
VeriSign, the administrator of the .com and .net domains, made plans to shut down its new Site Finder service Friday, after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ordered the company to undo controversial changes.
VeriSign said Thursday that it would respond to technical complaints over its recent move to redirect Internet users who enter nonexistent or misspelled domain names to its Web site, but it said it would not pull the plug on the service.
VeriSign will give a 30- to 60-day notice before resuming a controversial and temporarily suspended feature that redirected many .com and .net domains, company representatives said Wednesday.
