Yes there are many threads about this (Yahoo @ $2.99)

And if you have read them, you can tell people here at NamePros are not quite fan of Yahoo

Thanks for sharing, but I would never register with yahoo.

Care to explain why?

 

[killaklown]

i wouldnt ether, i only reg my domains at enom. And i never used the yahoo messenger, email, search, or anything.

From many people I know (also from the stories from people here):

This actually happend:

- The Domain could not be transfered
- People got billed for a domain that was transfered out a long time ago
- Yahoo billed to much
- Information did not get updated
- Customer Support did not reply
- etc...

Yahoo is a great community site!
But, I would not buy my domains there...
I would better get them from a company who has it as a core business
and has a better name in the (domain) market

I don't think it's true that domains can't be transferred.

I have many domains registered on Yahoo, and one of the starter site options is a "For Sale" page. Doesn't seem like they'd readily hand you that option if you couldn't transfer ownership.

This would be a nice read: http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=129691

That was a nice read, but I like Yahoo domains (only for the pricing). Usually I buy domains to develop them, not really to sell them even though sometimes I do. If I see domains are cheap on Yahoo I register them. So for $15 for a five year registration you can't beat that price. If I really wanted to sell a domain I'd just transfer it out, so for a total of less than $25 I have a domain that lasts 6 years, of course you can pass the amount you spent on the years left to the buyer. Just remember to cancel the domain with Yahoo after you transfer it. Always read the fine print when you deal with any company. Everyone bad mouths Yahoo and 1&1 for domains, but I've used both and never had a problem with either, because I read the fine print and I'm proactive in what I do with all registrars.

Well my yahoo domain has already kicked in in like less than 5 hours so i guess they are faster than aplus.net where i got charged for a domain which was already registered by them, aplus.net is worse than yahoo so far , yahoo gave me no complaints. Hoping it continues that way.

There are always organisations which are worse...

Yes i aggree and i would like to point out to people not to go with aplus.net they virtually ate my 9$ for a domain which was already registered to someone else . My monthly visa card payment is the proof of that.

But then again.. I am sure some people are very glad with yahoo and never had
a problem... i am sure that could also be the case.. but as a domain trader
( and are we not all here at namepros, we could not take such a risk )

i have a yahoo domain, and i have no problem with this domain, i dunnno much about domains or dns, or host, but 4 me ws very easy to learn and use my yahoo domain.
as soon as i get my host, i change my dns from yahoo, and all was right. also i used fordwarding option, standar amd masked. no problem with standard, but masked has a problem cause a yahoo banner appear at botton page.

u get 1 personalize email and other stuff.
when i had problems yahoo reply me not slow, not very fast.

so my experience with yahoo was good.

and when i change my yahoo servers to my own servers, i did forget yahoo cause i began to manage my domain in my new host cpanel ç

about new offer, i did want to buy a new yahoo domain, but i cant, each time i put my credit card information yahoo told me that my information was invalid, beside this i saw my balance acount and wat happen? 2 dollars less in my account. why? cause each time you put ur credit card information, yahoo check this information taking one dollar of ur account.So i tried 4 times and i had 8 less dollar in my account, yahoo told me that it takes 1 dollar but my bank acount said 2 dollar less.

finnaly i see my money back after 2 weeks. i sended email to yahoo regarding my money. yahoo replay wasnot fast, i think its replay was unacceptable.

this was expierence with yahoo small bussines (yahoo domain)
