Got an ad e-mail from yahoo offering $4.98/yr domain. Anyone try this? any comment?

I haven't tried their new service, but I used to have a domain at Yahoo a while ago, but I didn't really like the service, because it's very limited, and they ask you to pay for additional services.

I would advise when you're looking for a domain name, find a service which at least has these features:

Forwarding / Masking
Change of Registration
Starter Web Page
Parked Page
Domain Name Locking
Status Alerts
Total DNS Control

You'll want these services if you want total control of your domain name.
Hope you find a service that suits your need. If you want to check out our service, you can go to http://webhosting.antaramedia.com .

hello...

i'm selling domain just for $3.99 with any non-domain product.
renewal, just $8.66/yr for .com -- similar or lower for other TLDs.
no surprise next year -- our prices have been rock-bottom minimum since 2002, and we have no plans to raise prices. register for 1-year, 2-yr or more, your choice, no tricks -- NO HASSLE!

check out bundle domain deals too during checkout.

and really good hosting and SSL deals too, btw.

i've personally dealt with so many of registrars since having my first .com in 1998 -- thus can personally attest the fact it's not worth trying to save a few pennies, to lose so much time and money later on it you deal with companies having bad history of significant prices fluctuation.

antaramedia0com, yes, we offer all those MUST freebies too, and ZERO extra costs

dealing with big companies like yahoo, netsol, rcom etc, have goods and bads. the good is they have money and here to stay for many2 years. but who knows, rcom, and netsol and even yahoo is still young, and nobody can say to certainty that the management won't change or they won't be bought over in the near future. simple: change of management most of the time, is BAD! could be good, but, not worth the hassle if you only have several domains in your account. the more customers a company has however, will produce a really good knowledge database, and better handling experience among its staffs.

the bads, they are too big, with 100,000s of customers, and companies of how behemoth its size, cannot offer personal support forever. wait time for phone support becoming longer and longer, and your support inquiry emails get replied with robots. changes take longer as it depends on the overall corporate policies. bla bla.

look for toll-free phone support, and more responsive online support. how about local phone/in-person support? do you know who the people behind the company, by name, and even their mobile number for emergencies. test these first before deciding who you'd do business with. ask some pre-sale questions. worth some initial research for long-term trouble-free experience on your web presence. price matters, but is not all that matter.

have a good time shopping...
