    Is it lawful for Yahoo to do this? Is it anti-competitive? Is Yahoo's pricing a form of "DUMPING?"

    Yahoo will not let you transfer Domains
    I registered a few there when I was starting out and I later tried to transfer but they will not let you?

    If they're keeping your domains hostage then just contact ICANN.

    Re: Yahoo Has $4.98 Domain Registration?!?

    One thing is for sure, the pricing can't stay at this level. It has to go up.

    I don't like offers such as for free, below cost, etc.. They seem to always have a catch. Either you get crappy quality goods/ services, the company bundles it with another unnecessary/ overpriced item, they eventually jack up the price, etc..

    Maybe the fine print says Yahoo can hold your name hostage.

    I'd rather pay a fair price and know what I am getting.

    They do keep your name hostage. I unfortunately registered 2 domains there about 3 years ago. I still own them, but for what? I can't transfer them to anyone, I can't forward the domains, no DNS changes, I have no Admin control whatsoever. They like to reel you in so you are forced to use their Hosting.. :veryangry
