Here is recent communication I had with them after being notified my domains annual fee was increasing to $34! This is in comparison to one of the most expensive domain registers around – Network Solutions. Now why would anyone feel the need to pay more when they can cheaper better service and other options from others? Its beyond me! With management being this stupid – I hate to say it but maybe they deserve to get bought out.

Comments: You have been sending me e-mails stating I will now be charged
$35 annually for domains. I am wondering how you can expect to keep
customers when the average prices are $10. I would rather not switch but
you are forcing me to transfer all of my domains to godaddy your number
one competitor.

Guarantee in writing an under $10 fee and I may as it is I intend to do
some blogging about how stupid Yahoo is getting. Because of this I am
finding it hard to trust you in making other purchases.
