Why do I get "invalid hostname:" when I try to submit my site to Yahoo! Directory?

When I use the %26#039;free submit%26#039; option for Yahoo! Directory, I get this error %26quot;invalid hostname:%26quot; (there is nothing after the colon). The domain is maybemail.com. Both the domain registration company (123-reg.co.uk) and the hosting company (a2hosting.com) say everything is fine as far as they are concerned. What could the cause of this be?

Just a thought, your domain might be a blocked / blacklisted domain (as far as Yahoo is concerned) -- You should probably contact Yahoo directly to ascertain what the problem is.



EDIT %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Here is a contact link, specific to domain issues

Hope this helps (good luck)
