Yep, I can vouch for this...
I have a domain at Netsol which expired on the 23rd of July, but is still
in their whois database. If you try checking it at the Netsol website, it does
indeed say that it's not available, but... (this makes me laugh)... :

  "We watch it for you around the clock, 24/7, so that you don't have to
                    -- for only $49 for an entire year."

Admittedly, it goes on to say that they'll include one year's registration
"FREE", but given that you can pick up domains for much much less these days,
that's not really worth much...

Just out of interest, is there any such thing as a reliable,
non-money-grabbing domain registrar out there?!

Having a bad morning,
Steve
