I just went to purchase my 5th domain with yahoo and was informed that I am no longer elligable for discounted domains. Guess I should have read the fine print. The usual price is $9.95/year.

I thought there might be something like that. Figured Yahoo was catering to the small time personal user rather than businesses

You still get the domains you purchased at the discounted price (i did mine for 5 years) but it just wont let you register any more at $2.95/year

I did mine for 5 years, too.
I knew they had this, but couldn't find that find print for the other thread and therefore thought that they'd removed it.

Personaly, I would rather pay $3-$4 more per-domain and have them all in one spot with an excellant control panel like I have at enom.

I hate moving domains, and worrying about which one is where etc.

Same here. I'm in the process of getting all mine moved to NameCheap. I have some at Enom and some at NameCheap right now.

Still, if you have a large number of domains couldn't you save a lot of money by registering or renewing all of your domains for 5 years at Yahoo during the discount period and then transferring them back to your prefered registrar?

Well I still got 4 good domains for 5 years, so it's all good. I'll just go back to namecheap now
