If i move my Yahoo domain name somewhere else will I still have to pay Yahoos outrageous new renewal fee?

Yahoo is losing my business fast after blindsiding me with a "new" renewal charge of $34.99 up from $9.99 for each domain name every year. I wasn't even contacted about this change. Great way to loose a loyal customer of over ten years! Thanks for any answers to my question.

1. I just discovered this tonight. I'm really hoping that it's a fluke with the yahoo pages that it is misstating the cost. If not, they just lost two customers because I was helping set up a new page tonight for a friend, and I have my website through here as well. There's NO WAY I'll be paying that kind of money though.
2. confirm it with yahoo help desk team. now i have switched over to bluehost webhosting http://www.bluehost.com/track/bluehostwebhosting/
3. Nope, you won't have to pay Yahoo's renewal fee if you transfer your domain to a new registrar. However, you may need to pay the new registrar the transfer fee. You can try Moniker.com Transfer ( http://affiliates.moniker.com/pub/Affiliates?affiliate_id=2253&landingpage=transfer ). Or NameCheap.com
