Why you don't ask where's the most expensive one?

To answer you question - yes, it's yahoo domains, at the moment. Please be aware, however:
- Offer expires on 12/31/2005;
- The control panel you'll get from them is somewhat limited.
Good luck!Respect My Authoritah! - Eric Cartman (a friend of mine).

However, Yahoo domains is the best choice to get CHEAP first 5 years for your personal domains. After 60 days you're free to transfer them to registrar of your dreams.

Depends what you want to do with the domain. I recall reading on WHT about many people having problems transferring domains out of Yahoo, because they use that shady (IMO) registrar down in Australia.
Anyone with more time on their hands care to post details?

How about Yahoo domain registrar?

any experience with yahoo domains

"Yahoo Domains are provided by MelbourneIT. If they sound familiar it is because they are the ones who recently "inadvertantly" hijacked panix.com - the domain name of the largest ISP on the East coast."

I don't have anything against them personally, I just remember what I read.

I always use GoDaddy. They have a great control panel, and they have a $2 domain when you get any other service to go along with it. I wouldn't use Yahoo, because when you renew it the rates will be higher again...

Hi all!
At last I made a choice of NameCheap. Registered 3 domains. I didn't go with Yahoo. After I have read some posts, think I'll have troubles in future with Yahoo.
Thanks all for advice.
