On the phone with yahoo.com

My old site that was hosted by yahoo is being forwarded to my new smugmug site. I wasn't aware that I still had the old one running. If you type in takethepicturenow.com you get the old one. If you type in www before the address you get the new one. I am downgrading with yahoo to get rid of my old site.

Is there anything special that I need to know before completely deleting my old account? He says that the site has to point to you. I need a static IP address?????? :scratch

    Personally I think yahoo really sucks. I have a few domains with them and I have never been too happy:

    I agree. They do suck. That's why I am now a smugmugger. I just set up my original domain with them so I have to keep it to keep my address that is printes all over the place already! I will check out the thread.

    THANKS

    No you don't......find a new registar...Ummm like GO DADDY and move your .com to them.....I have bought from yahoo to get a fantastic deal and then moved it to GO DADDY, as I think their customer service rocks...but I couldn't pass the .com at yahoo for $2.95.......and GO DADDY and Smugmug go hand in hand very well.

    Thanks. I got it all figured out. I already paid to keep my domain. Maybe in the future I wont. It only cost $34.00 for a year to keep my domain with yahoo. I got the problem fixed also. You can type takethepicturenow.com or put the www in front and it still goes to the correct smugmug site now!!! wings.gif Have a good day guys. TONIGHT IS MY FIRST WEDDING! My stomach is in nots and I am so, so, so excited.
