With all my years dealing with them I have only had one issue, it was a month ago, their server took a dump and my site was down for a little while. But they had it up and running soon and gave me a discount. ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > I have my name servers registered with Yahoo which suck. > > How much does it cost to transfer to another registar That is also a good question… I feel it should be free… just out of curiousity what does yahoo charge if you are hosting through them? I know when I had a domain registered through godaddy, I just waited. then it went through a redemption period… and blah blah blah… after 6 months… I was able to register it again. godaddy has always left a sour taste in my mouth from such problems. Obviously this isn’t something your clients can’t do. but please steer from godaddy. edIt: I also don’t like seeing godaddy tagged to the registration… when I would rather see… Registrant Contact: [www.nyspeed.com](http://www.nyspeed.com) Howard S () Fax: 555 Central Park Ave 111 Scarsdale, NY 10583 US oh on that note… one of my domains has expired… so anyone that wants… Domain Name: [BITCHESWITHBLACKEYES.COM](http://BITCHESWITHBLACKEYES.COM) Created on: 07-FEB-08 Expires on: 07-FEB-09 Last Updated on: 09-FEB-09 Its up for grabbs ---

I dont use them for hosting. Signed up for a few domains with their 1.99 special a few years ago, renewed last year for 9.99 which was fine, and then now they want to charge me 35 bucks so F them. I dont host with them. I have my own server cluster in Phili that I use for my hosting business. ---
