    What happens to my domain when I close my account?

    Your domain name belongs to you until your registration expires, even if you cancel your plan.

    If you registered your domain through Yahoo!, and you decide to cancel your plan:

    • Yahoo! will not renew your domain name when it expires. You will be responsible for any domain renewal fees.
    • You will no longer have access to your Yahoo! control panels, including your Domain Control Panel.
    • Your Private Domain Registration service (if applicable) will be deactivated.

    If you used a domain you previously owned with your Yahoo! plan, and you decide to cancel:

    • You will no longer have access to your Yahoo! control panels, including your Domain Control Panel.
    • You will continue to manage your domain and pay any domain renewal fees through your current registrar.

    Tip: If you choose not to renew your domain name when it expires, someone else may be able to buy it!

    If you're going to cancel your plan, be sure to make arrangements for your domain name first. Sign up for our basic Yahoo! Domains plan, which will allow you to continue managing your own domain with your Yahoo! tools, or transfer your domain to another provider.
