Well Yahoo! is deciding to increase the price of renewing domains names from $9.99 to $34.95.
Needless to say I will be switching registrars shortly. This may result is some downtime.
----
Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Small Business Support.
I understand that you have some question on renewal of the domain. As
per the records for your account, we see that your next billing cycle is
on February 2009, and its true that you will be charged $34.95 for the
renewal of the domain as the domain renewal price has been changed.
Why $34.95 for renewal?
Yahoo! is a reseller, and we are reseller for our parent registrar,
Melbourne IT(MIT), recently there was a hike in renewal price as well as
for a new domain price in MIT, that is the main reason as even we have
to hike the price for renewal of the domain.
Your service includes domain registration AND one domain email address.
You are charged $35 per year for renewal. We will no longer offer your
Yahoo! Domains service to new customers. We will continue to support
your existing service and it will be automatically renewed each year 15
days before the anniversary of your original billing date, at the
then-current price, unless you tell us to cancel the service
Please do not hesitate to reply if you need further assistance.
