Yahoo Domains now $34.95 per year???
 

Just got an email from Yahoo saying their annual domain renewal price is increasing to $34.95 per year starting on June 1st.

Let me be the first to say "What the hell?".

I have dozens of domains with them, and I bought them years ago at $9.95 per year!

Wow that sucks

they need $$$ really bad...

exactly, they need to get out of their debt, so why not charge more for their services.

very fucked up, price up triple, VERY fucked up, glad i dont have any domains with them

it's the good ol' bait and switch... nothing new...

WHATTT?!?!!?!?!!?!

Holy fucking shit.

surprised you are still with them

get them out of there before you are too late

wow that's a big difference!!

WOW! That's fucked up!

lol, yahoo is getting desperate :)

Your first mistake was using a mediocre internet service company to conduct business with.

It's the economy. Everyone is hurting, even the millionaire's.

There's a difference between desperation and greed.

They probably figure most of the people can't figure out how to transfer their domains out anyway.

or they charge 35 dollars to do it :)

better transfer em!

Does that include a hosting package or is that just for the domain?

They're just following the Network Solutions pricing model again. Chances are people will stick with them rather than go through the relatively simply process of domain transfer.

it's 1998 again?

HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWLING LAUGHTA!!!

That is almost as ridiculous as those Liberty domains or whomever mail me all the time. I have my own registrar, and I can tell you the 'cost' is nothing in the double digits.

:2 cents:

No, I don't have them handle my hosting. That would be lame.

Transfer

Was that $9.95 price lifetime?

They got you good, man...

today is Jun 19th, on their page: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/ domains are $9.95


Can u post up the email?


Fight the June 1st, 2012!

I use Moniker, and I am very happy there.

Are you sure it's not a phishing mail?

I think this not coming directly from yahoo,it comes from some yahoo sub company or whatever it is.I remember i got similar mail long time ago when i bought domain there for 5$.Fortunatly my credit card was expired so they were unable to charge me for renew.

You're an idiot.

are they going mad ?

damn thats fucked up

Next, they're blaming it on high oil prices :thumbsup
