Services & Support (5/5)
Excellent service, provides 24 hour toll free phone support. Support to automatically install add-ons like blogs, forums, etc. Tool-tip text help describing various features and online help available as well. Also provides an easy to use site builder to build professional web pages.
Plan prices (2/5)
One of the most expensive domain providers available. This negative point though maybe compensated with the rest of the package.
Control Panel (5/5)
Excellent control panel. You could test it using the free geocities control panel which is similar. Uses tabs, and separate ‘Go-to’ drop down boxes as well to easily navigate to different parts of the control panel. Also displays page views on a graph on the control panel home page; detailed information regarding web traffic too could also be extracted.
Mail (5/5)
There’s nothing to say about the Mail, it’s Yahoo! Mail, what more can you ask for?
Reliability (5/5)
Domains hosted on very reliable servers.
Security & Backup (5/5)
Protects your domain and personal details for $0.99. Backups of all files are made every hour, which could be easily recovered if required.
Special offers (4/5)
While there may be other better special offers available with other domains Yahoo! Provides a few special offers as well the pick being a $100 Yahoo! Search marketing credit to boost your web traffic and get you started.
‘Best’ Plan:
Based on the price and support if you are planning on creating a basic site which does not require much web space the ‘Web hosting Starter’ would be a good choice:
Price - $11.95 (+$0.99 for domain protection)/month
Web space – 5GB
Bandwidth – 200GB
While the price for the above plan as well maybe relatively high,
the extra maybe 5 or 6 bucks maybe worth it because of the overall package.

TWO THUMBS DOWN FOR YAHOO. All I can say is be careful and don’t put all your eggs in the Yahoo basket. We are a group of doctors, chiropractors, physical therapist and medical doctors. We hosted and did all e-mails accounts through Yahoo. One of the e-mails that went through Yahoo security contained a way for the hacker to hijack our web site and e-mail account. Without discussion, Yahoo closed our account completely. Hosting e-mail and all. We had 3200 patient e-mail addresses on the Yahoo account plus all the data from old e-mails. But Yahoo didn’t care. Then they would not talk to us about the account. After holding on the phone for hours, we could only write some group within Yahoo about the problem. Even the supervisors would not help. I even called corporate. Yahoo was completely unsympathetic and unresponsive to our needs. Even though we expressed in no uncertain terms that this was the way our doctors communicated with patients. Yahoo did’t care. They blew away all our files and site. After fighting for weeks we finally got Yahoo to release our Domains back to Melbourneit were Yahoo had registered the domains. Then when Yahoo found we were moving hosing to another provider they dragged their feet for days holding up the move. I can only say two thumbs down for YAHOO. They should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe they do need to ge eaten up by Microsoft. Loose a few jobs and get customer oriented again.
