Remember any "Brand" (company) changes.
I once had my domain for writing and personal stuff with Yahoo. It was cheap. It was great. I had unlimited "redirects" and everything was fine.
Then they "upgraded" which resulted in a loss of the redirects (except 1) and the costs skyrocketed.
I left and a few "Brands" later, was with 1and1 which I have now been with for a fair number of years.
When the lady from Yahoo came on so strong and seemed to be doing a good job, I bought YHOO stock and then it came out that she was firing the guy (also from Google) that she had personally hired at a very high price to raise the profits and was giving him a ridiculous parachute, I myself bailed, at least on the YHOO stock.
I still use the Yahoo Finance as my main Portfolio to follow my stocks because Vanguard which carries our 401 and where I buy and sell, doesn't have as good a presentation system.
