VeriSign is facing a new class-action lawsuit over its controversial "SiteFinder" service, which redirects all misspelled or unassigned .com domain names to a search page managed by the domain name registrar.
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.
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, 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 is selling its Network Solutions domain registration business for roughly US$100 million, but plans to retain control over the database that directs people to .com and .net addresses.
