Yahoo! Offers $2 Domains

jmiller · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2005, 11:32 AM

Yahoo! has dropped the price of their domain registration service to $1.99, the second price drop in a few months after Yahoo!’s original offer of $9.95 was slashed to $4.95.

The offer includes all of the most popular domain name extensions .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .us, registered for up to 5 years.

The price does not include Private Domain Registration however that helps protect domain owners from spammers using the WHOIS database to reach them. Private registration costs $9.00.

Yes, they have been promoting this heavily. Unfortunately, it is valid for one domain only, per person. If you are like me, I try to keep all of my domains with one registrar, not multiple domains with multiple registrars.

However, this is good for people who want a cheap registration to place a personal site on, or simply don't mind using multiple registrars.

Hmmm.... it shows $9.95 to me as well?

I've tried different international versions of Yahoo, but the small business domain offer is only on that page - at $9.95 as I see it.

It was just a promo for a few days. Basically they want to make their presence known as a new domain reseller and now they are selling it at their normal price once again.

If you type the search "yahoo domains" on Google you can still get them for $4.95. Be careful because they are also selling them at $9.95 for people who don't know about the 50% off promotion.

You can buy more than one domain, but I had to do it separately. During the $2 sale I went through the checkout process 12 times for 12 different domains.
