Managed Hosting

I’ve recently experienced some frustrating issues with managing my yahoo domain and web hosting services. I’m not sure how I did it.. but I accidently deleted my web hosting plan. Then I ended up canceling my domain name because I thought it would take affect immediately (meaning it would be available for purchase again within a short period of time so I could get it on another yahoo account). After I canceled all this, I found that it would take until 2012 until my domain name expired, so even though I canceled my rights to it, unless I reactivate it.. I will not be able to use it at all.

Basically, I was wondering what would happen if I delete this entire yahoo! account- would that make the domain name available for purchase again?

Or, if I were to reactivate the domain name, is there any way I can transfer it to another yahoo account?

Sorry if this is confusing..
Answers are greeeeattly appreciated.

Hi. Visit this page: http://whois.domaintools.com/jaimemontoya.com

Type the domain name that you had (Whois form, they click on the button that appears there or Enter) and find the reports about the domain that you had. For my domain this is the information (you could get something different, but get conclusions from what you get, like who is the current owner of your comain, or when it will expire, etc.):
