Article : Protect Your Domain Name
2008-03-21 12:31:00
By: Dave StarnerImagine you’re the owner of a successful Web site, but when you logon one day all you get is an error message. Or worse yet, the domain name now points to a site full of advertisements. That’s right. You’re out of business.This happens every day because of a perfectly legitimate process known as “drop catching,” where people quickly snag the domain names owners have let expire and try to resell them or use the links associated with the names, which could be extensive, to create Web sites loaded with advertisements. You can easily avoid becoming a victim of a drop catcher by better understanding how the domain registration system works to protect your domain name.Your Web site, with all the content you have so painstakingly added, sits on a computer with a unique address called an IP address, which is simply a series of numbers. A domain name is an address forwarding service that directs visitors to the site using this IP address. Domain names are used inste...

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 domai...

I took Yahoo up almost a year ago on getting a domain for $ 2.99. I thought I would grab my name and start building my business. That saying that you get what you pay for sure applies. I was never able to get to the 'control panel' but figured that at least I had it and that when the time was right I would start building my web site.About a month ago since my domain expires Oct 11th I looked for a way to make sure that they wouldn't renew it. I sent them countless emails with no answer. When I followed their tutorials they said in order to close out your small business account to go to control panel and follow their instruction. This was not an option since I have never been able to access that.After further investigation I found out that when you get a domain it is sent to Australia. Google's groups is full of lot's of people tha...

Forum : Anyone have experience with a Yahoo! Domain?
2007-11-17 23:53:00
First comment from this forum :" Hiya, Here's the situation. A client owns a domain name purchased through yahoo! (It's one of those "register your domain for e-mail deals - $35 a year plan). You can easily have the domain redirect to any site. Now, we've built a web site, set up the mail server and all of that jazz and I need to update the nameservers so it switches over. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how. The client DOES own the domain and it's registered through some registrar in Australia. When I go there, it says I need a key, but when I ask for that key, it says I've got to get it from the reseller who sold me the domain. So, I've got my client's login info and I'm going around yahoo and I can't find diddly-squat on how to do it (not even a support e-mail address!). Does anyone have any expoerience with managing a domain registered with yahoo? TIA,G."see this forum at : http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum25/816 .htm

First comment from this forum :" I have two yahoo accounts set up on my iPhone.1. Traditional Yahoo account: username@yahoo.com2. Yahoo Domain Name account: me@mydomainname.comI receive email and can view folders. I can send from the traditional Yahoo account just fine. I use to be able to send from the Domain Name account, but I noticed a few days ago that when I send from the Domain Name account, it actually is being sent by my traditional yahoo account, even though I am replying or emailing from my domain name account.I think this was working about 1 week ago. The only change I have noticed that could have cause this, is my Yahoo Domain Name account recently switched over to the New Yahoo Mail (no longer the Beta).Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to get my Yahoo Domain Name email to send from that email address? Thanks in advance."see this forum at : http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.ph p?t=380515

Article : How to Get a Cheap Yahoo Domain Name
2007-10-31 16:44:00
By John C Alzza Once you have decided that you want to have your own website on the internet its important that you choose a yahoo domain name that accurately represents what you plan to use it for and what extra features you need to get the most out of it. With over 80 million registered domains on the internet its becoming harder and harder to find relevant Yahoo domain names that are available which are related to the topic you want to target, especially for .com Domain names which are by far the most popular. For this reason there are now many other types of Yahoo domain names which you can choose from such as .net and .info. The first thing you will need to do is visit a website such as Yahoo and start searching for available .com Domain names using the search feature. As most names are already taken you will probably need to use three or more words to find one that is available (you can also use hyphens between each word to find available names). ...
