Yahoo Domain (.com) Question

Hey guys, I see that yahoo is having a special for 2.99 for a .com domain name for the first year. Somewhere else on the site i see its for 8.99, is there any catch or something to the small business domain they are offering? Can you just buy a domain, or are you forced to get hosting and such? Thanks

Whats the difference between the two...Pretty good deal, must be a catch or something.

Someother dude asked a similar question earlier.

Now let me make it clear:

When the 2.99$ offer appears, go ahead and register.
There is no catch, no forced hosting and nothing else except your domain with all your facilities.

If you find 2 different prices on 2 different pages, even then, your final price when you go for billing will only be the 2.99$(lower price)

No difference between the facilities or anything else.

it is just a short time offer.

I can confirm this because my domain is hosted there with them(.com domain) and I have had no problems.

It keeps changing, watch for the link lol. The last question i have is , The first year is going to be 2.99 i see, but if the prices go up, I will have to pay that for the second year correct? With yahoo, Do i have FULL control over the domain for server access and stuff? Also, when this year for the purchase ends, do i have the first shot or right to continue the domain or is it up for anyone?

Thanks alot.

Yeah. Usually, a "cheap" domain is only cheap for the first year. After that, it will go up in price to (I think) $8.99

As far as I'm aware, yes. You own the domain - it's not just a redirection account like .tk or .co.nr

You have the right to re-register the domain under your name. If you let it lapse (for about 1 or 2 months, I think) then anyone can buy it. In the first month though, only you have the right to re-purchase or transfer the domain.

With yahoo, it will exactly be 60 days before your domain will be available for transfer after it is unlocked.

it will automatically unlock if you let it expire
