  • colbert · 4 years ago

    nope. I don't have any domain name want to register currently, plus Yahoo! does not accept PayPal payment.

    andrew said that yahoo domain is no good. may i know why?

    Not the same…one is debit card, the other is credit card. You can only use visa electron when you see the visa electron card sign… :)

    Btw, Yahoo domain name is not …erm…good.

    Unfortunately you will find disgruntled stories on *every* domain registrar out there, because (1) human makes mistakes (2) computers make more mistakes (3) satisfied customers are the loudest.

    I only have one domain on Yahoo/Melbourne IT, but so far I am pretty happy about it.

    agree with scott. so let's not be harsh on yahoo and say it is not good.

    i bought yahoo domain when it was offered at US$1.99 per year. bought 2 n fact. haven't really start using them yet so won't know yet how it is.

    well, lcf, yahoo accept visa electron debit card. (what i pay with)

    I thought that GoDaddy was cheapest. I guess I will have to do some research again.

    Lucia, may I know which issuer's card that you are using for Visa Electron?
    Coz I was planning to get one. But I just hv BSN Matrix on hand (which most of people said it is useless, I forgot which post I read from here). Damn s**t, I can't used it for PayPal activation too. What a shame about tht!

    @San: we use Public Bank Visa Electron debit card. It is known as the BEST visa electron debit card in Malaysia. :)

    Hello

    Yahoo! Domains is a reseller, and not really a registrar by its own. So it would be painful if you need to transfer or do things to your domains afterwards - it involves Yahoo! and the real registrar causing it to be a 2 levels of support, and just imagine the time.

    I don't mind paying a bit more, as long as the support is good. GoDaddy is good. RegisterFly and Yahoo! is a no no. NameCheap sounds ok too though I have never used them personally.
