Yahoo Domain Hosting 3X the Price

Originally when I started buying domains from Yahoo the cost was around 10$ per year. Then it went up to 13$ per year. Now with the recent financial crisis around the world, Yahoo has decided to tripple their yearly fees TO 34$ yer pear. I am either cancelling my domains at warp speed, or contemplating transferring them to Go Daddy for a fraction of the price. Technically I can host them from my house, but I get nervous with the dynamic IP address provided by Optimum online. I haven’t had an IP address change in a long time, and for all practical purposes without the modem being offline for a long time the IP address rarely ever changes.

Overall I am going to cancel as many domains as I can, thus eliminating many of my websites. I am going to remove the websites that do not receive many hits, ect… I will keep my main website, which I plan to have my entire life. I also will keep this domain, because I have many websites consolidated into it, as well as this blog which I cherish as a means of venting and documentation. Maybe I will transfer some domains to Go Daddy, I have a couple of things to think about before the critical date that Yahoo wants payment before it stops hosting the domains.

Mmmm I paid 6 dollars at 1and1 to transfer my existing domains. I think new domains cost 6 dollars as well.
Their DNS/MX options stink, but that’s what we got everydns for :D

Was I glad I transferred my domains, which cost me ~15dollars each, originally? OH YEAH!

By the way, when you transfer, it is automatically paid for an extra year, without extra money.

6 dollars. Yippie!
