Network Solutions Takes Over RollingStone.com ?

As of this writing, the RollingStone.com website has become a Network Solutions domain parking page. Gawker Media first pointed out that the music industry website was no longer active.

I know what you are thinking, the domain expired and NSI took it over. WRONGO! The domain doesn’t expire until September 2011.

The company refers to the problem as a “glitch” . A pretty good size glitch given that according to Compete.com the site averages over 1 million monthly unique visitors. This seems like a pretty large mistake for a well-known publishing company to make on their own, so we’re left wondering who dropped the ball here.

Mashable is also covering the story and a commenter pointed out that the domain may be experiencing issues with their DNS provider or Akamai.
