Don’t register your domain with Yahoo!

Trust me, do not register domains with Yahoo!. Rather do it with GoDaddy or some Netfirms. I registered my domain with Yahoo, and it ended up being one of those sites that just contain Google ads. And Yahoo! is not even a domain registrar, they are just a reseller for Melbourne IT (some stupid company in Australia).

Bought my domain with Yahoo! for $2 (it was a promotion) and it worked fine until 2 days later an automated message tells me that my “Yahoo! Premium Service” was canceled for no good reason (at least send me an email explaining what happened rather than a general automated message).

Tried to contact the customer service (it was like impossible), then had to call them and wait 40 mins before i got to talk with one of the customer service people. They weren’t very helpful and told me to call sales department, and eventually they activated it back (i had to pay again).

Again 2 days later it canceled, with the same stupid automated message. Emailed them, and they were not helpful at all and were telling me to clear my cookies in my browser (so irrelevant!). Emailed them like 6 times, called them twice, but no one helped me. And my domain went into redemption period and i could not register it again (and i lost hope).

Some company bought my domain (yahoo! probably sold it to them) and they use it to display ads. And someone gave me a offer to buy it for $200. Well, I don’t know if I can get it back.
