Hello where can i post my domain name for sale on this site?

 

[JoshHendo]

Yahoo are terrible to register at. I have never registered a name there, though i know people who hame. Also, about the domain sales, when it comes to renewal they will bump up the price =O
What ever you do, don't register at Yahoo :P

Relating to your question on where to post your domain for sale, their are various marketplace forums.

Post at the respective forums, whether for cash or for np$.

He is talking about domain registration, not about transferring...

I registered one ($1.99/y promo) for 5 years. It's a personal project, so I don't plan to sell it, and even if I did, I'd just transfer it away AND cancel @ Yahoo.

Bottom line: Great for personal use, if registered for more than a year. Avoid if you plan to sell the domain or develop for commercial purposes.

If its a domain name your planning to hang onto go ahead.

If you're buying to resell its best to avoid them. Last time I looked there was no push mechanism between Yahoo accounts. I dont know if this has changed in more recent times.

I dont know how difficult it is to transfer out to another registrar from Yahoo, as they are bound by the ICAAN rules, but I seem to recall that when they had specials running they had no transfer provisos for long periods of time in their terms and conditions.

Read the terms and conditions currently being used very carefully is the best advice I can offer.

 

[tsj5j]

By the way, they are offering domains for 2.99$ per year.

^.com and .net?

.info's are cheap if its only them.

 

[tsj5j]

Yes, for .com and .net

From what we hear from all kinds of folks they're tough to work with for domain traders. If you're just buying one domain name that's another thing.

I've got one I registered with yahoo last year, I don't really care much for them though. In fact I'm planning on transferring mine out of yahoo.
