It depends on who “owns” the domain name. I do not know Yahoo’s policy. Sometimes you get a free domain name with an account but the host owns it. If you are sure that you own it then see if the new host can transfer it.

You can check ownership and status by going to http://whois.domaintools.com/ and entering the domain name.

Question by ame: No matter what hosting company, (not just Yahoo!), how long after the domain expires can I buy the domain?
Reguardless of the hosting company, how long after the domain expires from a previous owner, asuming that there are no backorders or otherwise ownership of the domain after expiration, can the domain be purchased.
I have been trying to buy a domain that expired on the 27th of april, but I still can’t buy the domain. The WHOIS database, on multiple company websites, says that domain

After the domain expires, there is a grace period during which the original registrant can recover the domain for a hefty fee. In the past, grace periods used to vary a lot, but now it’s become standard at 35 days.

True domain dropping from the registry can take up to 5 days, so expired domains become available in 35-40 days after expiration.

The best way to know exactly when expired domains are released is by checking definitive domain dropping lists.

These lists are available 3-4 days before the expected dropping date, and are FREE and publicly available in sites such as http://www.vztools.com.

If the domain is very desirable, chances are that it is backordered already, so you must backorder it too (and likely get into an auction with other bidders), rather than just waiting it to drop.

If you can afford losing it, just wait for the next day after the expected drop date, rather than the same day, because you don’t really know what time it is going to be dropped, and many failed trials to register it might tip other people about the domains’ desirability.

Depends who you registered through all you gotta do is go into godaddy and change the nameservers. You can go with Just host. I use them for 40 domains and pay only 8 bucks a month.

Question by Scotty: If I buy a domain name from Yahoo can I then let my work to use it and build a website using the domain?
I found an awesome domain for an outreach project I’m doing for work, but I don’t know much about building websites. If I buy the domain, can our web design guy then build a website using it — or could it be a problem that it’s registered with Yahoo or in my name? (I know my work wouldn’t care that my name’s on it, I just mean from a technical perspective of getting it up and running)

Shouldnt be an issue, but it’s not very professional, i dont think the web designer would want to do that, but ultimately it is up to management.
