    they dont have push function in yahoo and you will need to call them onse you sold the name and you want to be pushed or transferd , the control panel is so simple but not for domainers it is just for some one who wants to build a website not to do biz to tell you the truth , if you want to change DNS for all your names you will have to do it one by one so it is pain in the bu.. plus alot of page notfound every time you will be redirected to your control panel to start the action again... , the price is so great but the control is not enaugh for a domainer

    the price is $2.xx some times it goes to 4$ but renewl fee is 9.99 and the promotion is just for new members , that mean onse you are lil bit old there you wont get that

    they may be a good option for saving $$$but after a year its again about $10; but their hosting plans are too costly!

    No you can't do that.

    Their offer is like this

    You get to register a domain for $1.99 for the first year, afterwards, you will be charged $10 per year. One Domain per credit card. The domain control panel is not easy to operate as it almost always is a prey to server problems and gives a lot of 404 Errors. Also, the domain transfer is not easy, it is rather complicated as you have to call the Yahoo Customer Support for that.

    They determine you through Yahoo Email address. So just make a new Yahoo email address and you can get the cheap price. ;-)

    iPower.com
    Domainsarefree.com
    Globat.com
    Netfirms.com

    I have used all of them and I give them 5/5 Ratings, all are good, the Domainsarefree panel has some problems though, but its all fine nevertheless.
