Not a good idea. First of all, after your initial
purchase, Yahoo plans on charging you $35 per year for domain registration.
Better offers exist all over the place.
Secondly, Yahoo is just a reseller in the first
place, the real registrar is
Melbourne IT, in Australia. Still, they're
charging $35 per year for a domain. Why? Dotster, Register.com, GoDaddy -
they're all cheaper per year. Hell, even Network Solutions is a penny cheaper
per year. And we would NEVER recommend Network Solutions for domain registration.
Finally, the Yahoo living support for domain registration
seems to be, for lack of a better term, barely existent. For $35 per year it should be state
of the art, not state of confusion. Just bad, particularly because most people who use Yahoo! Domains are likely to be pretty unsophisticated in the ways of domains - that's why they used Yahoo! in the first place. If they knew better, they'd do better. And that's what Yahoo! is counting on. Ugh.
