Have you ever bought a yahoo domains, from smallbusiness yahoo portal ? I am asking because they do come cheap, $2,99 but as you may know they have some disadvantages like:
- You can only get 1 domain name for that price, if you want more you pay the full price.
- You get the $2,99 price only for the first year, second year you have to pay the full price.
- Yahoo domains do not support internal account transfers.
- They are only a reseller for MelbourneIT, for that reason it’s a nightmare trying to get an AUTH code.
- You can’t choose manual renewal, just automatic.
The list could go on, so i don’t recommend going with yahoo domains unless you want something quick and cheap that you’ll dispose later.
There are other good and cheap alternatives out there, you just have to scout the forums a bit before buying. Hostagor is recommended by most users as a safe choice, even if the price is higher than other offers.
Another option would be Godaddy, they provide a great service, never had any problem with them, and I’ve been using the service for 2 years. In fact 2 years ago i also gave yahoo domains a try and after i saw the service i stuck with godaddy for domain name registering.
