Use WHOIS or the equivalent for the various ccTLDs (country-code top-level
domains).

I wouldn't assume that all .com/.net/.org have been registered through Network
Solutions. Registration in those gTLDs is competitive now, and has been for a
number of years. You didn't know that? Then NSI is probably still making a lot
of money off you; more probably than some other registrar would, for at least
the same level of service. It pays to be an informed consumer. Shop around.
