How can I access my Yahoo domain?

Question: "I purchased a domain from yahoo last year but can't see the basic website anymore. I can't remember how to access and manage my yahoo domain name. There is no direction on their website either. Thanks for your help in advance :)"


Answer: "You'll have to log into your domain control panel to access and manage your yahoo domain.

1. Sign in to your Business Control Panel.URL: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/services/ (If you have not yet signed in with your Yahoo! ID and password, you'll be prompted to do so here.)
2. Once signed in, you will see modules for each of your domain names on the "Manage My Services" page. Select the "Domain Control Panel" link that corresponds to the domain whose record you wish to edit."

Link to a forum : "Pointing Domain from Yahoo to Go Daddy Servers"

Jul 31, 2008
First post of this forum :

"Hello,

I have a customer who registered his domain name with yahoo he now wants to point that domain to a hosting account that I have started for him at GoDaddy. Should be simple but it has been anything but.

He has emailed Yahoo several times with no response, he has called their tech-line only to be told he needs to email them instead. We finally figured out through GoDaddy that Yahoo registers through Melbourne IT. He has tryed calling Melbourne they are in turn asking for a 12 digit registration number that my customer does not have. Melbourne told him he needs to get this from Yahoo, Yahoo says they do not give registration numbers out. This leaves my customer with only 2 options, either register a brand-new domain through GoDaddy or go with Yahoo for hosting.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you ever finally get through and get things transfered?

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jodi"

A question from Len : "Do you know who I can contact at Yahoo??? or have any ideas????"

"In 2001 I purchased a domain name for my corporation (pacificappraisers.com)… I have been automatically renewing the Yahoo domain since I originally purchased it. Today, I decided I was finally ready to create a site for my corporation… I logged into Yahoo to manage my account – I then purchased the Yahoo web hosting basic package. As I made my changes to DNS and mail servers – none of the changes were sticking… so, I called tech support. They informed me that I was no longer the owner of the domain name… someone purchased it in 2004.

After talking to tech support and 2 supervisors… I am stuck in a very strange position. They told me they used migrated from Network Solutions to MelburnIT (or something like that) and somehow my domain name became available for resale. I asked them to look at my payment history showing that I have been paying for the domain name since 2001 and even made a payment in December 2007 for the renewal.

They have no answers or possible solutions… what can I do? Is my corporate domain name gone forever?

Heck, they wouldn’t even say sorry…

Do you know who I can contact at Yahoo??? or have any ideas????

Thanks,
Len"

" I just got an email from Yahoo! saying my service will be renewed sometime in July, etc. I don't want to renew my domain. The only thing I purchased from Yahoo! is the domain name itself... someone else hosted it for me. Is this I need to do in order to cancel everything?

P.S. Just wondering... why will my information become public on the WHOIS database after canceling?"

Link to a forum : Yahoo! Domain Renewals Increase to $34.95/year?

May 28,2008
First post of this forum :

"First Microsoft tries to buy Yahoo!, now Yahoo! raises their domain renewal rates.

Important note: Beginning on July 1, 2008, Yahoo!'s annual domain renewal price increases to $34.95 per year.

If this is accurate would this be considered Highway Robbery? Or do they think their customers are fools? Can they really justify that large an increase? Or are they just being greedy and hope their customers don't Google for GoDaddy.com?

Apparently the above quote was sent by email to people who have their domains registered with Yahoo! I'm not one of them. But I just visited their site and they make absolutely no mention of the increase. They do have a plan that has domain name plus email for $34.95 a year

So if this is true, this is truly a smack in the face to a lot of people who use Yahoo! to host their domain. (Can you say mass exodus?) If it's not true, sorry to waste your time ."

Link to a forum : Yahoo Domain Fees Rise!

July 1,2008
First post of this forum :

"From July 1st, users that have domains registered with Yahoo Small Business, will see their fee jump from $9.95 to $34.95.

The news came in form of e-mail for anyone who has registered a domain with Yahoo Small Business, and a Yahoo representative told CNET News.com Friday that the e-mails have been sent 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days before users were set to renew their domain registration.

But some blogs are expressing dismay at the price increase, which is three and a half times what domain owners have paid in past years.

Yahoo said the $25 price increase is primarily being instituted to match the cost of doing business, and that registering domains--the process of creating a new Web address--can cost even more with other Web sites.

However, other competitors have much lower prices, including GoDaddy.com or Google Apps, both of which charge annual fees of around $10.

Since domain registration is not the core of Yahoo's small-business site, the company said its prices can not be as low as those of sites that focus on registering domains.

Low domain registration fees, though, can be a foot in the door to coax customers to upgrade to more profitable services.

According to Yahoo, new domain registrations will still only cost $9.95 and after a year, the fee will go up to $34.95."

"Alright I have a few problams.

Question 1

First off what is *.30.forumer.com IP? because the one that shows in the Admin CP links me to a page that says "Server 1" and when I PING server 30 for it's IP the IP it gives me takes me to a page that says "Sever 15" so what is *.30.forumer.com IP address (see IPs I have used below):

a) 69.64.49.67 (Ip given in Admin CP)- loads a page for server 1
b) 69.64.36.9 (Pinged IP for server 30)- loads a page for server 15

Question 2

How do I set my domain up with Yahoo?

I mean I am not transfering it so don't suggest that as I am not open to it. I added both IP address and waited 24 hrs each time and when I go to my address/doamin each IP address took me to some forumer page for servers (1 & 15).

Not to mention Step 2 never showed up in the Admin CP even after waiting 48hrs.

This is a big issue for me because I like editing the HTMl rather then the Board Wrappers; but Invision_Free makes setting up a domain way more faster and simpler. I have had no luck with forumer and all support topics already made for Yahoo domains are not helpfule for 2 reasons:

a) No one helped the person
b) No one gave them an exact answer to their question

You can go to my domain which right now uses the IP address: 69.64.36.9 and see that it takes you to a usless page: www.emina*******r.net


Thanks for any help that will help!!"

"This happened to me last year:

I registed a domain name with yahoo. I paid for 5 years.

After sometime, I bought a hosting plan from yahoo. Since I didn't like the hosting plan, I cancelled the plan.

Know what, yahoo cancelled my domain name also! I lost a domain name for which I had paid for 5 years.

Talked, Shouted, Cried - with yahoo support people! No use! Domain name remained cancelled! I had to pay again to get back the domain.

(Their stupid logic: They call a hosting plan as an upgrade of the domain plan. When you buy hosting, you upgrade domain name. So when you cancel hosting plan later, according to them, you cancel not only the hosting plan, but also the domain name associated with it)

Didn't expect such an idotic logic from a company like Yahoo."

" I have a domain registered with Yahoo - $2.97 a year was a great deal - so I locked it in for 3 years for what most others were charging for one. I put in the DH name servers in the Yahoo control panel and I was able to access the site and upload stuff to it with Transmit to the DH servers. So far, so good.

Now I got to upload some more and it gives me a password error in Transmit. I try to go to the domain using Camino and get the Yahoo "under construction" page.

I double checked in the Yahoo control panel and the DH name servers are still listed, but when I try to access the site I still get the Yahoo place holder page.

I want to host the site at DreamHost and I thought it was simply a matter of changing name servers like DH describes, but for some reason Yahoo keeps flipping me back to their "under construction" page.

I did a Google search and I am not the only one with this problem, but no one seems to have a solution. Since the domain is new, I cannot transfer it to DH yet. Yes, I can forward the domain, but I signed up to have Yahoo register my domain and that's all I want them to do.

Any ideas?"

First comment from this forum :

"A while back I got the domain name www.guardianlegends.com with yahoo. I bought and setup the domain to be forwarded to some webspace my ISP gives me and then I loged out.

I recently wanted to changed it from being forwarded to my webspace to a server I had setup localy.
I find out I cannot login, I knew I did not have any email from yahoo when I made the account so I knew something was up. I tried doing a password recovery but it told me my account has been diactivated
I was really wondering why I did not get a single email from yahoo, I did a Whois lookup on my domain and the email address is blair.thiessen@gmai.com insted of blair.thiessen@gmail.com

I go and try and sign up again to see why I might of miss typed my email and it only asks for your email once no confirmation . I always type my email right and the confirimation usualy just bugs me if anything but everyone has it.

Now I have no idea how to get into my setup for the domain because my account is diactivated because of my never confirming it because I had a typo on my email. I have looked all over their site for a phone # to contact to get this fixed and cannot find one only ones about sales . All the Q and A on the website tells me retarted info like "passwords are case sensitive please rember that when entering your password". That's not exactly what it said but useless help info for me. I have e-mailed them and I get the Q and A copied and pasted into an email .

Please help me out if you have any ideas to get my account back or even get yahoo to remove my domain so I can register it with someone else. A good phone # to conatact yahoo would be great. Thank you!"
