"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?"

"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!"
