Yahoo $2.99/yr domains!
 

good shit...perfect timing for me...

Nice find. :thumbsup

Fucking nice :D I pay 8.88$ at namecheap :1orglaugh

Thanks for the link. :thumbsup

time to fill up the shopping cart.

Dont do it.. i'm warning you.. shittiest service around...

lensman: did you check out the thread on your stolen design?

please elaborate...

what's the catch?

Second vote for elaboration

Yea, I had a bad experience with them in the past.

Wonder how good they would be for domains that I want to register and hold.
Anyone have good experience with them? or any experience at all?

I have a domain with them and the service is very slow but no problems other than that.

well i made another post about it but i will elaborate..

First off lets clarify , you can only get one of them for that price i think

Secondly . The registrar is some australian outfit.. thats not so terrible but its not yahoo..

Third.. the dns system rarely works.. if you change dns more than twice in 24 hours it locks up and you cant change the dns until you contact them..( and go thru the mindless tech supports ) If you get a new domain set the dns , and never change it , you might never have any problems ( until you try to change them )

Fourth .. domain locking.. i noticed no "locking" thing in the dns management , and upon checking my domain it said "unlocked" , so i called tech support and asked " how do i lock my domain " , he said " its locked , they are all locked " , i said " it say's unlocked clearly " , he says " dont worry they are all locked and can't be changed without going through a rigorous screening process ( etc ) , checks and such "
so i say " well then why dont you just put "locked" on the domain instead of having it say "unlocked", he says " dont worry about it , nobody can transfer your domain ". I said " well what if I want to transfer to a diff registrar " , he gave me some long line then said he couldn't answer than and had to ask someone else , but they werent in so call back " lol

Thanks for the head's up.

I have gotten several for the $2.99

All mine say locked, and I have to unlock them in the domain control panel. I havent had any problems in changing dns with them.

Don't use crappy registrars. Use Moniker.

wow great deal for $18.99 for a .com..

hmm they must have added that recently i'll have to login and look

yup your right i just logged in and looked , they have changed the whole system it looks like.. maybe all those complaints to support actually worked :)

dont register too many, they'll have you renew them at $8 lol

err maybe not , when i went to actually use some of the features it says

I've registered 6 so far, Had an issue with changing the nameservers on a few. It kept saying "our records show you do not own this domain, please contact customer support. Finally after 25 tries it went through. It's a great deal but expect a few headaches.

I think i am well of with namecheap!

DAMN!!!

I just reg'd 20 domains last week for $5.99 each and thought I got the deal of the year! I've used DirectNIC for a few years and got tired of paying $15 per domain. I was happy that I saved $180 on this "run" BUT could have saved another $60?

LOL

Timing is everything!

Thanks, Lens!

:thumbsup

BTW - I never had a problem wit DirectNIC - love their management interface and still have 40+ domains with them

:winkwink:

Yesterday I registered a domain and I don't have any problem

It says 1 per customer and whois protection is an extra $10.

why some sites still have domains at $15 if not you can find sites at $2

i have some domain with directnic and never had problems, but $15 is too much :(

Right now they sell domains for the nominal price. When they get tons of people (maybe in a year) they will switch the price to $8 or something and cash in on renewals.

i agree with smokey, you cant transfer out of yahoo, and you cant lock your domain.

i wont go with it then, thx for all the info everyone

I remember when I paid $75 for my first domain name :)

thanks for the info! :)

that is an affordable prize for a domain/ year.

I have few questions ...

Tell me please if i have to buy hosting from yahoo to receive a $2.99 domain name ?

If not ..... the best way is register new domains for many 5-6 years.
Is it possible later to transfer them to godaddy ?

Please - let me know

Regards

yahoo sucks as a registrar. use namechep instead!

im happy with paying $7,95 at powerpipe, never had a problem with them for over 3 years

what about this :

Waived setup fee offer is open to new Web Hosting customers only. Limit one offer per customer, and one use per customer on a single account. Web Hosting price offer is open to new Web Hosting customers only. Limit one offer per customer, and one use per customer on a single account. Offer expires on 10/31/2005 at 11:59PM and is available only through Yahoo! Small Business. Offers may not be combined with any other offers or discounts, separated, redeemed for cash, or transferred. Other terms and conditions apply; see the Yahoo! Small Business Terms of Service when you sign up.

they seem to have changed , go log into your account , you can lock yor domains now. ( but the service still is shitty , constant errors - see above)

I'll continue to use the co I'm with. I pay $8.95, of course it's cheaper if I do a 5 or 10yr reg but I'm happy with them
