How can we compete with that???

i dun think its offering domains for 4.95... The promotion has ended a month ago. The new price is $9.95 per year.......

Hmm... that's strange. Just earlier today I saw them advertising domain registrations for $4.95.

I still see the $4.98 domain offer on Yahoo's front page.

other companies are selling for $2.99 and some for $4

its marketing technique everyone can use it if they can afford it.

At renewal it's not going to be $4.98. If you're really wanting to save the $4 by starting with Yahoo instead of someplace else, you could do that and transfer later. It might be more convenient to just start off with a $9/year registrar that offers better service from the beginning.

i like to keep all my domains in one place .. i'm a namecheap user ..

i'll stick with godaddy. 8.95 isnt the best but it works:)

its not very smart to have domains in saparate 100 companies... (just because they had -1$ off)

infact its $8.95 + $0.25

so its not really 8.95/domain

There is a simple answer to this question: because you get (imho) not just no service, but negative service. I have tied up some of my favorite domain names with yahoo and they won't let me transfer them, and calling australia is no help at all. So, not only do they take my money, but they ruin my best domain names as well.

No telephone service to speak of, everything by strict rules and formulas, no exceptions - don't even think about losing your password. The only thing that saves you is your birthday, which everyone can find out all over the web.

USERS BE WARNED!!!!

I have a domain registered with yahoo, and their support is non existent. If you lose your password and forget your secret answer you are in trouble. Trying to get a coherent and applicable answer for help with specific questions is a disaster.

I'm going to try to transfer the registration of the domain somewhere else, real soon.

Having said that, I'll probably keep them as hosts for the time being.

As hosts Yahoo is even less competitive in price than they are at registry. Their one strong point is that they do have very high server reliability.
