We own a fair amount of domains in our company, and we generally register them with our Yahoo! Small Business account to keep them all together since our first couple were registered there. While adding a few more today, we noticed that the renewal cost for domains registered at Yahoo! have gone up 251% to $34.95 (or higher!) per year after the initial registration.
Maybe this is not news to everyone because they instituted the price hike on July 1st, but we did not notice until today. It’s not too difficult to transfer your domain to another registrar but it’s certainly a pain in the butt when you have many domain names. This is a slap in the face for anyone with a domain registered with Yahoo since your are now being charged triple for the same service. This can be especially bad for the not so savvy since they may not realize that you can transfer the domains at all.
We will be migrating our 40 or so domains away from Yahoo in the near future and I’m open to suggestions for a good registrar. I am familiar with GoDaddy but I’m not particularly fond of them. If we discover an easy way to transfer domains in bulk I will share it here.

I had a great idea for a Zune Originals inscription. Unfortunately for me I already bought one and couldn't think of anything to write on it at the time.
