Yahoo, a major search engine, surprised me when I learned that they offered webhosting, at just under $9.00. With a major corporation like Yahoo doing my hosting, I signed up for hosting for a client that I was making a website for. How astonished was I at how hastily it appeared everything was put together.
The customer service, horrendous. I couldn’t get a customer service representative to help me online, and after countless emails with no response, I decided to call them. After being on hold for almost an hour, they realized that it was a mistake on their part, and they gave me 3 months free hosting. Too bad I had already decided to leave…
The CPanel is hard to navigate, as any FAQ’s or any other help clearly don’t state where to even do some basic tasks. I am an advanced website builder, and I must have been over thinking a few steps. The hosting is definitely for beginners, so I’ll credit Yahoo with making it easy for them. However, if a webmaster wants a more technically advanced hosting, along with great support, I recommend other competitors, such as GoDaddy.
Advertising a hosting platform is what catches a lot of people. Take for instance, GoDaddy. They use a professional racecar driver, Danica Patrick, to promote their hosting. Yahoo? I haven’t seen a single advertisement explaining or promoting their services, which is why I was surprised when I found out they offered the hosting.
The good things about Yahoo hosting are far and few in between. They make it easy for beginners, and have great uptime with affordable hosting. Cheap hosting, which is what you pay for.
I am probably making this sound bad, however the hosting wasn’t horrible. I would recommend it to anybody looking to create their own site(s) using a fairly decent company.

Well, i don’t know exactly what have gotten into my head to try yahoo hosting out. But that is what i have done and have managed to stick with them for a full 3 months.
Probably i guess i often use yahoo search engine and got lazy instead of searching for the best or trustworthy hosting company, i chose yahoo instead. At first, it wasn’t so bad, as i set up and load the files, until when problems start to arise and i didn’t know what went wrong, i decided to approach their support for help.
Help is slow and didn’t seem to be of much value.. As in i asked for ‘A’ problem, they replied ‘B’ solution. In short, i got fed up by their service and their plan is NOT cheap! Overall, they are a good search engine company and probably they should stay as it is.

Basically yahoo hosting is affordable for small SME like my father. I found that it actually not that friendly use especially with all the control panel that is a bit too sophisticated. It takes my dad months with his partner to find someone to help them setup before they give up on setting up by them self.
Well one thing i must agree that the price is very affordable and it have at 5G of spaces for my dad business. Currently working for my dad, so just want to write this review to prompt the yahoo company to do better.

I’ve used Yahoo Web Hosting a few years ago and I can say that it actually meets my expectations. Firstly, they offer a very good price for the service, which a student like me can still afford. Also, it’s usability is simple enough for someone who is not really tech savvy, so any student like me out there who wants to start having their own site can easily start with Yahoo.
On top of that, I plan to start a business with my website just by using Yahoo to host my site. Traffic at the site is smooth and fast. Uploading big files for sharing is also not a problem as Yahoo allows almost an infinite storage! It’s good for me if I want to upload my school notes and online resources for sharing with other students out there.
As for the customer support, I have only contacted them once and they did reply promptly, good enough for me as I do not really expect much from them.

I have used Yahoo hosting for one of my clients for years. The reliabilty and uptime is very good. I have never seen an extended down period using Yahoo. The price is also good at under $20 a month for everything to run the website with full databases.
My only complaint with Yahoo hosting is the support. I found their help very scripted and the person on the other end very hard to understand. The problem I had was not solved after and hour. I then tried myself for a couple hours and solved my own issue using internet searches.

Rate of yahoo hosting is affordable to small customers.
But its little bit difficult to use control panel.
Normally for entry level in making static web-site its very helpful.
If you want your own setup for deploying on yahoo its little bit difficult for normal ppls.
