Link to a forum : Yahoo domain name registration, be careful, you may loose your domain name

First comment from this forum :

"This happened to me last year:

I registed a domain name with yahoo. I paid for 5 years.

After sometime, I bought a hosting plan from yahoo. Since I didn't like the hosting plan, I cancelled the plan.

Know what, yahoo canceled my domain name also! I lost a domain name for which I had paid for 5 years.

Talked, Shouted, Cried - with yahoo support people! No use! Domain name remained canceled! I had to pay again to get back the domain.

(Their stupid logic: They call a hosting plan as an upgrade of the domain plan. When you buy hosting, you upgrade domain name. So when you cancel hosting plan later, according to them, you cancel not only the hosting plan, but also the domain name associated with it)

Didn't expect such an idiotic logic from a company like Yahoo."

Yahoo Domains - Thoughts From A Happy Customer

Yahoo Domains is great. I have had an amazing experience using Yahoo to register and maintain my dot com domain name. Before I had my website, I was looking at the elements I needed to get started and wanted to make all of the best selections in terms of the best registrar, website hosting, and design.
I did not want to cut any corners so I did my research before I chose Yahoo Domains. I looked at other companies, what they offered, and the kind of support they would give after the sale. I, of course, also considered the price point as a factor before I made my selection.
Price isn't everything, though. Yahoo is not the most expensive, but it's also not the least expensive in terms of registrars out there. However, they do have the greatest value; at least that was my conclusion after I researched the other popular registrars on the market today.
Yahoo does more than basic, even with their lowest price domain registration. That is why I like Yahoo Domains. Other companies the offered lower prices than Yahoo did not tend to include as much as Yahoo did with even their basic domain registration.
Yahoo Small Business of course has lots of options for your small business, including website building and things of that nature. Some of these tools and support are included with all of their packages, but some of them are only in the upgrade (higher priced) type packages.
Having these options is what really did it for me. I did not want to be limited to basic domain registration. I wanted the extras and I wanted Yahoo's world class service and support that they have been known for through the years. This way, when trouble strikes, I won't be left feeling helpless. I will get the help I need in a short period of time and with dependable results.

How can I access my Yahoo domain?

Question: "I purchased a domain from yahoo last year but can't see the basic website anymore. I can't remember how to access and manage my yahoo domain name. There is no direction on their website either. Thanks for your help in advance :)"


Answer: "You'll have to log into your domain control panel to access and manage your yahoo domain.

1. Sign in to your Business Control Panel.URL: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/services/ (If you have not yet signed in with your Yahoo! ID and password, you'll be prompted to do so here.)
2. Once signed in, you will see modules for each of your domain names on the "Manage My Services" page. Select the "Domain Control Panel" link that corresponds to the domain whose record you wish to edit."

yahoo Domains: A Simple Web Site Solution

Having put up more than a few Web sites myself, one of the easiest ways I've found to get your domains set up and running is to simply go through Yahoo.
Yahoo will register your domains' names for under $10 a year, though as of this writing, Yahoo is having a sale on domains for $2.99 per year. That's a lot cheaper than some registrars I've seen that are still trying to charge $20 or more just for domains.
Once you get your domain registered, you still need to host it somewhere. Again, Yahoo has a simple answer, or several simple answers, in its Geocities service. You can plunk down your domains for free at Yahoo Geocities, but you'll have ads. For a nominal fee ($4.95 per month) you can get 500 MB storage and 25 GB per month transfer -- that's more than enough for most starter sites.
If you host your domains through Yahoo Geocities, you'll get plenty of tools to help you design and manage your site, enough to do just about anything legal you might want to do on the Net.
You'll have access to Yahoo web page templates as well as a point-and-click designer, in addition to the ability to manually play with your domains' HTML.
Yahoo also gives you choices for uploading, using their easy upload manager or the more traditional FTP for large sites. E-mail is part of the package.
A recent addition to the Yahoo Geocities tools is the ability to start and manage a blog on your domains.
All in all, registering and hosting your domains through Yahoo is an easy solution for a home user or small business.
