A heads up for anyone who keeps their domains with yahoo...it looks like it may be time to jump ship and look elsewhere.
Effective July 1, 2008, domain renewals after that date now cost $34.99. :eek:
That's about triple the original purchase/renewal price :eek:
Here's yahoo's instructions on how to transfer to another registrar: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/domains/authcode/authcode-04.html
Personally, the one domain I have hosted with them is now going into my godaddy account, as the renewal date of that domain is 8/1/08
Apparently, yahoo domain holders are only notified of the price increase in an email when their domain is renewed.
[edit]: correction: a small portion of users were notified 30 days before the renewal date. Most users were not notified at all. Would this be considered a bait and switch?
