Thanks allot for writing this article!
I have had the same crap experience with Yahoo.

Hey! I like exactly how you said that John!

I made the mistake of only transferring my Domain name, and not canceling the service.
And they Billed my Credit Card with their ridiculous price.

How can they charge me money for a service that they are not providing!
I say this is Fraud!

You can check out the long Article I wrote about this, over at my Blog:

I think we need to bring more publicity to this issue.

I won’t sit back and be quiet about it.

I’m suppressed that so little people did anything about it.

Thanks allot for standing up to Yahoo,
I hope that we can bring awareness to more people.

Just don’t forge to cancel your service account when you transfer your domains. If you don’t cancel, they will still bill your credit card for the $34.95 and not give you a refund (If you can even get to their customer service). I still can’t see how they can charge for a domain account that has no domains… I think this borders on illegal.

Yahoo Domains is a SCAM!

They sent email to inform about this new price. It will be applied in July 2008. Many person will cry with the bill from Yahoo. They send email but the price in the domain account “still old price”. If you do not read email and just visit your account. You will know nothing.
I transfer my domain names out of yahoo just for $6.95 (http://www.luckyregister.com/ it is Godaddy family)
