Why does yahoo use yahoo.com for us and not yahoo.us they own both yahoo use's country codes for everyother yahoo website yahoo.co.uk , yahoo.ca yahoo.com.mx and etc.
Why does yahoo use yahoo.com for us and not yahoo.us?
I think it depends where your ISP is from. On a recent trip to Thailand, I used the computers at the hotel I was staying at and yahoo.com brought me to Yahoo Thailand. I had to put the extra .us to get to the Yahoo in the US.
Reply:Since the majority of Yahoo Mail users registered for addresses using yahoo.com before the introduction of .us addresses and subsequently, yahoo.us; Yahoo continues to use yahoo.com for all of its US users to keep its trademark email addresses.
The problem is most easily illustrated by having millions of email addresses converted from one domain to the next. Numerous business users and/or individuals who rely on their Yahoo Mail as their primary email account will have to notify their correspondents regarding the change and new business cards, etc. would have to be printed. That is a major hassle for users and would definately drive away valuable users from Yahoo Mail.
Reply:Not only was the Internet invented by the US, but most of the Yahoo! servers are located in the US.
And of course, the US came up with .com(mercial)
Reply:that's a very good question, why dont you ask them about it
good luck
