A question from Len : "Do you know who I can contact at Yahoo??? or have any ideas????"

"In 2001 I purchased a domain name for my corporation (pacificappraisers.com)… I have been automatically renewing the Yahoo domain since I originally purchased it. Today, I decided I was finally ready to create a site for my corporation… I logged into Yahoo to manage my account – I then purchased the Yahoo web hosting basic package. As I made my changes to DNS and mail servers – none of the changes were sticking… so, I called tech support. They informed me that I was no longer the owner of the domain name… someone purchased it in 2004.

After talking to tech support and 2 supervisors… I am stuck in a very strange position. They told me they used migrated from Network Solutions to MelburnIT (or something like that) and somehow my domain name became available for resale. I asked them to look at my payment history showing that I have been paying for the domain name since 2001 and even made a payment in December 2007 for the renewal.

They have no answers or possible solutions… what can I do? Is my corporate domain name gone forever?

Heck, they wouldn’t even say sorry…

Do you know who I can contact at Yahoo??? or have any ideas????

Thanks,
Len"

Link to a forum : Canceling my Yahoo! domain registration

June 24,2008 (7 posts)
First post of this forum :

" I just got an email from Yahoo! saying my service will be renewed sometime in July, etc. I don't want to renew my domain. The only thing I purchased from Yahoo! is the domain name itself... someone else hosted it for me. Is this I need to do in order to cancel everything?

P.S. Just wondering... why will my information become public on the WHOIS database after canceling?"

Link to a forum : Yahoo! Domain Renewals Increase to $34.95/year?

May 28,2008
First post of this forum :

"First Microsoft tries to buy Yahoo!, now Yahoo! raises their domain renewal rates.

Important note: Beginning on July 1, 2008, Yahoo!'s annual domain renewal price increases to $34.95 per year.

If this is accurate would this be considered Highway Robbery? Or do they think their customers are fools? Can they really justify that large an increase? Or are they just being greedy and hope their customers don't Google for GoDaddy.com?

Apparently the above quote was sent by email to people who have their domains registered with Yahoo! I'm not one of them. But I just visited their site and they make absolutely no mention of the increase. They do have a plan that has domain name plus email for $34.95 a year

So if this is true, this is truly a smack in the face to a lot of people who use Yahoo! to host their domain. (Can you say mass exodus?) If it's not true, sorry to waste your time ."
