Yahoo Domain Name Renewal Sky High!
Yahoo increased the renewal cost of domains to $34.95 effective July 1, 2008.
This is a huge increase from the $8.95 to initially register a domain. Considering the cheap price of domains elsewhere, you have to wonder why Yahoo would make such a move.
This is one way fill the coffers quickly at the risk of losing a certain percentage of customers. There are many Mom and Pop businesses who are set up for automatic renewal, may not realize that is a sky high price, or don’t know how to transfer their domain to another registrar. Besides, for those who only have one domain name, it may not seem worth the effort to make the change.
