Getting Domains from YellowBook?
 

I have a prospective client that was using YellowBook for some advertising. His contract is up and wants to take his business elsewhere, however they registered 3 domains for him and charge him some $150/mo.

He called and they said they will sell him the domains for $500 each, but anyone have experience with this? The domains have his personal name (hes a consultant) in them. Doesn't appear to be anything in the ToS and agreements saying they own the domains, but rather register them on your behalf.

so what name and email address is on the whois?

someone from YB

Thats not good. Looks like your client will have to pay

yeah, doesn't look good at all.

This is why you don't register domains where you host.
