Yahoo Website Web Hosting:

If you have a webpage or plan on starting a website, the questions often asked are: What is the best web hosting provider? Where should I host my website? Key factors are reliability, uptime, support, reputation, and price. If your livelihood and business are going to depend on your website, you want to know that your web hosting provider will not let you down. In the early days of the Internet, there were literally thousands of small ISP web hosting companies, letting you host your site on their servers or locate your own equipment on their premises and then connecting you to the internet. Many of those came and went. Yahoo purchased one of these business and built their web hosting business around it.

Yahoo web hosting for small businesses provides the kind of long-term stability and reliability that you need. They offer a number of hosting packages, ranging from $9 to $39. We summarize them below:

Yahoo Web Hosting Starter Package

For those that need just the basic web hosting options, for $9 bucks a month you get 2GB of storage space (for pictues, web files, databases, etc.), 25 email addresses, your own domain name of course, 25GB/mo of data transfer, 24 hour toll free telephone support.

Yahoo Web Hosting Standard Package

Moving up the scale, this package is $15 bucks a month and offers 50 email accounts, 4GB of disk space, and 75GB of data transfer. You can use the Yahoo Site Builder software to design your site, with templates and easy editing and uploading features.

Yahoo Web Hosting Professional Package

Same as those above, except everything is bumped up - 10GB of storage, 200GB of data transfer.

All accounts above the Starter Package offer PERL and PHP/MYSQL support and SSL secure socket layer protection for processing credit cards. All accounts offer PayPal support, Email forms, surveys, guestbook comments, and site search functions. They also offer password protected directories so you can make content available only to those with the correct access codes. They also allow you to register your domain name (www.yourdomain.com) at no cost when you sign up for a web hosting account. Yahoo also provides direct connections to merchant accounts (credit card processing) so you can begin accepting credit card payments for sales on your site.

Our personal experience with Yahoo Web Hosting has been mixed. Their storefront design can be confusing and takes a bit of a learning curve to master it. Their site is designed for people without without much HTML and web design experience, which is a problem if you are an experienced webmaster. For beginners and intermediate users, it is a great, reliable option for hosting your website.
