Yahoo! Store can automatically register and transfer domain names, and forward emails for .com, .net, and .org domains. We can also provide name service and hosting for other types of domain names such as country code top level domains (ccTLD), but because other naming authorities do not have automated registration processes, you must register for ccTLD domain names yourself.
Yahoo! Store also provides email forwarding for domain names you register through your Store account.
Domain registration is $35 per year to register a new domain. Domain transfers are $10 per year.
What makes a good domain name?
A good domain name should be easy to remember, easy to spell, and preferably short. The name of your company is always a good choice. If your desired domain name is already taken, you can search if the .net or .org variation is available. You may also use hyphens to create unique domain names.
What characters are allowed?
.Com, .net, and .org domain names must meet these requirements: They cannot exceed 67 characters, including the characters in the suffix (63 characters plus the 4 character .xyz). Only letters, numbers, or hyphens are permitted. A domain name may not begin or end with a hyphen. These requirements are not set by Yahoo!. They are part of the regulatory standards that .com, .net and .org domain names must follow.
What's the difference between http://yahoo.com and http://www.yahoo.com?
Not a lot. By default, Yahoo! Store makes both URLs work. You can advertise whichever one you like the best.
Do I need to put the http:// on?
Probably not. Most web sites just advertise www.widgetdesigns.com. The www. is a good enough clue to people that it's a web address, so you don't need to say it. All popular browsers let you simply type www.widgetdesigns.com into the URL window.
