5. How much
does it cost to register a domain name?
It's free! Each Yahoo! Web Hosting package includes a domain
name. That means we pay the initial domain registration fee
and yearly renewal fee for as long as you are a Yahoo! Web Hosting
customer. Over time, that adds up to significant savings. Reserve
your domain now!
If you choose to use an existing domain name with your account,
you will continue to be responsible for all ongoing domain name
registration/renewal fees. Back to top.
6. Do I need
to pick my domain name when I sign up for Yahoo Web Hosting?
Yes. Your web address and email accounts will be based on the
domain name you select (or on a domain you already own and choose
to move to Yahoo!). For this reason you'll need to choose a
new domain -- or indicate that you'd like to use one you already
own - when you create your Yahoo! Web Hosting account. Back

7. What if
I want to change my domain name after I sign up?
If you wish to change your domain name after you sign up, you
will need to cancel your service and sign up all over again.
For this reason, we recommend that you choose your domain name
very carefully, to avoid having an interruption in service later.

8. Which name
and top level domain should I choose?
In general, choose a name and a top level domain (.com, .biz,
.us, etc.) that is easy for your employees and customers to
remember and makes sense with your business. It can be your
company's name, key words describing your business or even a
short phrase. All Yahoo! Web Hosting plans come with a free
domain with service. Reserve
your domain now! Back to top.
9. How do I
move my existing web site to Yahoo!?
Make sure you have a copy of all your web site files, including
images, sound and video clips and other files, on your personal
computer. After you purchase a Yahoo! Web Hosting package, simply
use an FTP program to transfer all your files to your new web
site. Back to top.
10. How do
I move my domain name to Yahoo Web Hosting? Is it a
registrar transfer?
If you already have a domain name with another registrar, you
can easily transfer it to Yahoo! when you purchase a web hosting
package. During the order process you will have the opportunity
to search for a domain name, or move an existing one. The option
reads: "Already have a domain name? Follow the link and we will
lead you through the simple process.
This is not a registrar transfer. Moving a domain name
means directing your name servers to Yahoo! Your original registrar
must make this change for you. Your domain name registration
remains with your current registrar and you are responsible
for all ongoing domain name registration/renewal fees. Back

11. Does Yahoo!
Web Hosting support ASP, scripting, and databases?
Business Standard and Business Professional support PHP and
MySQL® so you can build data-driven web sites and Perl so you
can build advanced web applications. It does not include ASP
support. Back to top.
12. What happens
when I upgrade -- do I have to pay the setup fee again?
No. You pay the setup fee one time when you purchase a Yahoo!
Web Hosting package. Back to top.
13. Can I
publish web pages with FrontPage 2002®?
Yes. Yahoo! Web Hosting includes support for Microsoft FrontPage
2002. You can create author accounts and grant access to specific
subdirectories, so colleagues or others can publish pages to
your web site without logging in to your account or requiring
your assistance. FrontPage 2002 adds convenience, speed, and
security to web site creation and maintenance.
