Yahoo Raises Domain Renewal Fees
Posted by: | Comments

In a surprising move, Yahoo is jacking up the prices of their domain registration renewals… going from $9.95 to $34.95!!! If you have a domain expiring with Yahoo within the next 90 days, you should have already gotten an email with your price increase. I’m pretty sure is about to pee their pants in excitement!
Yahoo cites increasing costs of offering the service for the reason behind the move. Uhm…. huh? I can understand the recent raises from our POD companies due to increased costs of transportation and goods purchased…. but DOMAIN REGISTRATION?!?!? Heck, even my hosting company offers domains for $9.49, yet Yahoo is going to charge almost 35 bucks for renewals?
If you have a domain being hosted by Yahoo, you might want to begin investigating the transfer process before your renewal date unless you want to pay an exhorbiant price for the privilege of doing business with Yahoo.
