Yahoo Surprises Customers with Unprecedented Domain Registration Fee Hike

I apologize for deviating from our normal Web 2.0 marketing theme but I wanted to get out an urgent message to those who have domains registered with Yahoo / Yahoo Small Business. As you may be aware, Yahoo is already going through some tumultuous times. Not only has Yahoo suffered greatly the last five years from decreasing search market share, they've recently made a high profile bungle of an overly generous offer from Microsoft and are in the midst of an employee exodus of of disillusioned key personal.

Yahoo announces domain registration renewal hike from $12.95 to $34.95 / year

To top this off, Yahoo has just informed its domain registration account holders by email that as of July 1, 2008 domain name registration renewals will go from $12.95 / year to an unbelievable $34.95 / year. (See Cnet's report Yahoo ups annual domain registration fees.)

Yahoo is still advertising domain registrations for $9.95/year on their Website. There is no mention of the fact that now that rate only applies to the first year and all years there after will be renewed at the rate of $34.95.

If you're looking for another options, we can provide domain registration for $10.19 per year, through the world's largest ICANN domain register. Domain registration includes 24x7x365 phone and email support.
