I’m usually the first one to praise Yahoo! They offer cheap domain and easy transfer. What more could you ask? Well, the school of sneaky knocks has recently taught me a lesson. Apparently, transferring a domain away from Yahoo! isn’t enough. They will still charge you a registration fee in the next year if you don’t completely cancel your account.

Dreamhost is a beautiful company, because they offer an “ask me” option instead of the standard “your next billing date is” status. In summary, I no longer recommend Yahoo! They have officially joined my list of sneaky profit corporations.
