I want to register a bunch of domains. Currently I'm volunteering overseas, so not a lot of money. That's why I'm looking at a cheap way to do this.

Granted, I also have domains registered with GoDaddy and NameCheap. I'm not a big fan of GoDaddy, but I like NameCheap a lot.

I found a promo link for Yahoo! domains for $1.99 for new customers. I am a new customer. I remember hearing about this deal back in 2005. I thought the promo had stopped, but I guess I was wrong. Back in 2005 - 2006 there were people having bad experiences with Yahoo! domains with transferring them out to another registrar after the 60 days "no transferring period".

What's everyone's recent experiences with transferring a .com or .net out of Yahoo! domains to GoDaddy or NameCheap?

I'm only planning to register .com and .net.

I think it's as bad as ever.

I think it's as bad as ever.

Care to elaborate further?

I think only 1 new domain is allowed for $1.99 .

It is best to politely ask Yahoo.

I believe you are limited to 1 domain at $1.99.
Remember that when you transfer out after 60 days you will pay an additional year's registration to the receiving registrar at their regular price.

I think it's as bad as ever.

Sure. But you know how transfers were before. They're the same now, since nothing has changed between Yahoo and MelbourneIT. Still a nightmare to transfer away. Not to be tackled by the faint-hearted. (This is only hearsay, since I haven't attempted a transfer recently myself, but apparently, it's still the same nightmare).
