Transfer my website to Yahoo

[pocket]

3 years ago I transfer my website to yahoo with a 5 year plan. One day I looked at my whois and it showed up as if I only did a 1 year plan with them. So I made a trasfer to a different registrar, and now I want to come back to yahoo. I got a email from yahoo saying this.

I am sorry to inform that currently Yahoo! does not allows registrar
transfer i.e. you cannot yet transfer your domain registration to
Yahoo!. As Yahoo! is a reseller and not a registrar we are not able to
perform a registrar transfer of your pre-registered domain name. We're
hoping to eventually provide this option.

Yahoo! is not a Domain Registrar; we register our domain names through
our partner Melbourne IT (inww.com). Once you register a new domain
name through Yahoo! your domain name is put under Yahoo's! Reseller
list. This makes Yahoo! the Reseller of your domain name. Yahoo! will
be responsible for renewing your domain name, which is covered within
the service charges of your account.

That is why it is best to register a domain with domain registrar (unless your main purpose was for hosting service)
Though I am a bit confused. Did you transfer your website (hosting services & domain?) or just the domain name?

I did a domain transfer.

Huh. Does that means you transfered your domain to Yahoo 3 years ago? And now you want to transfer it back to Yahoo again, but Yahoo doesn't accept transfer?
Sorry for questions, but just want to make sure. If that is the case, then it is pretty weird. Please correct me if I have misunderstood.

I had a website one day I transfer the domain name to yahoo. Now my the domain is with yahoo. A year later I transfer it away from. Now another year later I want to come back to yahoo since I brought a 5 year plan that is not over yet.

If you have a "Hosting Plan" for 5 years with Yahoo - You should be able to just change your nameservers back ....

Is your hosting account still open there ?

No i have a domain registration no hosting.

if you had a domain for 5 years (not hosting), when you transfer it out of yahoo, then you would take that 5-year with you. you did not lose anything yet. there is no need to transfer it back to yahoo.

Or did you mean that you has 5-year hosting?

No hosting at all. This is for the domain. I paid $24.95 for 5 years. No hosting company would do that. So I hope by telling the price you understand its not hosting.

My transfer back to yahoo I mean where in yahoo or Melbourne IT do I have to put the auth code so they know I am coming back.

If you already got 5 years for $24.95, then what's the problem? If you transferred your domain away, you should have gotten to keep those 5 years. You can always just change the DNS to whatever you want, can't you? I'm guessing that you can transfer it back to Melbourne if you go to their website and look for details.

So you had a domain with Yahoo at the very beginning and you purchased it for a 5 year plan. Then you found out it was only 1 year plan. So you transfered the domain out. Now you want to go back to Yahoo? Correct?
If so, then why don't ask for refund? If you paid for a 5 year plan, and they only gave you one year. There is 4 year fee that belongs to you. Didn't you do something about it when you reg'ed for 5 years but only get one year?

I guess you will have to keep the domain name with your current registrar.

Good luck anyway
