Yahoo Domains $34 - Going for a Shark!! - Frustrated

Yahoo is a real loser! My goodness... that's just too much!

 

Yeah - this is getting a bit crazy and I will have to move my domains to GoDaddy where prices are more reasonable.

 

The same thing happened to me. They trick you with $1.99 sale, then renew it automatically. So if you check the expiration date you will not know. That is day light robbery.

 

Namecheap.com for the win! Great service w/ coupon codes ofcourse

 

WTF?? are they goin sick? i never heard ppl getting domainns on yahoo...
But seriously this is insane step by Yahoo.
Godaddy and name.com beat them all by any chance.

 

that's is totally unacceptable..

i use gkg.net for all my domains.. very easy to manage too..

 

Dont register any domains, my two domains were also renewed automatically.

 

try transferring your domains to namecheap or godaddy if you still have time it will cost a lot less

 

Never registered any domains with them or even cared that they offer domain registration services. Really lame though.

 

Wow that's just insane.. I cant believe yahoo is doing that.. what a waste of a perfectly good domain registration business.

 

Thanks buddy for creating such thread you have saved ppl from buying domains from.
Did yahoo specified i. emailed their user about their automatic renewal featur

 

I am afraid that Register.com would join Yahoo Domains. They do have a plan of increasing the renewal price to $30-35.

 

Well it pays to shop for the best price.

 

those dudes are crazy. We can see their failure

 

Yahoo timed it perfectly. On the eve of many $1.99 domains renewing, they increased their renewal fees to $35. And let me tell ya, Yahoo does their darnest to make sure you get billed at full price.

The sad thing is that it only takes a small percentage of people to get autobilled to make this profitable for Yahoo. After the domain mess I stopped spending money with Yahoo and have no intentions to spend money with them in the future.

They may snooker some people for $35 domains, but they are going to lose a lot more then that in the long run. They should have sold to Microssft when they were at $30 a share. At $13 a share now, not even Microsoft wants to touch them. They made their bed so its time to lay down in it...

 

I knew they would come up with such a thing. They come up with crazy offers but then they come back to what they always have been doing.

 

It's suitable for rich people.

 

Yea I remember them saying in the advertising pitch for Godaddy on Diggnation that the price of the yahoo! domains was going up. I was actually quite stunned, I mean who would pay that?

 

Their prices are nonsensically too high. Might as well use GoDaddy or Namecheap or the other registrars which charge moderately.

 

Oh crap that's really too much! Yahoo is going down in that case.. i can smell it
