Question by spanamj: Does Yahoo offer any domain proxy or anonoymous registration services when you purchase a domain through Yahoo
Some domain registrars offer anonymous registration or proxy registration when you purchase a domain through their company. This means people cannot just run a WhoIs check on your domain and get your home address and home phone number. I’m considering upgrading my Yahoo mail account, but I won’t bother if no anonymous service is available. I don’t really care to post my home address and telephone number all over the internet. And if you register a domain name without a proxy of some sort, you’re basically doing just that. I know Yahoo keeps my information private now, but do they do the same thing if you register a domain name (which is a little different than their free services) with them?

Question by frank_a_duck: Newbie Yahoo! web hosting + PHP Connect question?
Howdy! I didn’t see this in my Dummies book for the specific MySQL instance on Yahoo! Small Biz web hosting. I’m trying to connect, and get the error “Can’t connect to local mySQL server through socket ‘tmp/mysql.sock’ (46)”… The string I’m trying to use is below, copied from Yahoo! Help. The table sits in the “mysql” database, and seems vanilla enough (for an ASP guy, anyway). But no workie. I know this is going to be a simple question, but after three days of noodle-scratchin’, thought I’d ask. Thanks!

< ?php
$link = mysql_connect("mysql", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
mysql_select_db("mysql");
$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ft4h_calls");
$result = mysql_query($query);

... etc..
