Yahoo Small Business Domain – Help!?

Ive been having issues with Yahoo’s domain service. Basically, i changed my nameservers to use my own host rather than Yahoo, and i also set up my MX records and a CNAME to use Google Apps with my domain. I just called yahoo small business again, and i got the runaround. i am being told the following

- I am told that If i change my nameservers to point to anywhere but yahoo, (such as ns1.8tt.org), any changes i make to the MX records and CNAMES through Yahoo will not work.

- The supervisor told me that they lose the ability to update and control my DNS records when i use a host other than Yahoo.

- They told me i need to contact my HOST and have them set up the DNS for me.

Now it was my understanding that I could point my nameservers to any host, and still control my DNS through the registrar. Am i wrong, or is this just a complete load of crap? I know that in the past i have done this exact thing with other registrars with no trouble whatsoever

StumbleUpon It!

    Yes you should be able to still conrol your DNS settings through the registrar. I would transfer your domain to another company. Try tranferring to http://www.doggydomains.com
