Highly unreliable hosting. Unable to access my site 85% of the time. Call time to reach customer service reps exceed 30 minutes. It is a rare to find this poor of service. |

Customer support compared to others is horrible. You have to go through a series of voice menus on the telephone to get a person. Yahoo's support pages sometimes do not give you the answers you are looking for unless you go through several different searches.
The worst thing Yahoo did was "the merge your yahoo id with SBC/ATT. Its very very difficult to unmerge once its done.
Reliabilty as far as servers is great! The pricing is double what others offer.
I love Yahoo, don't get me wrong BUT their customer support is frustrating to the average joe who wants to do personal pages. |

This was my first host ever, before I did any kind of research on anybody else I just went with Yahoo because I used Geocities (The free account) for so long that I was just use to it. The worst mistake I ever made.
I don't know WHY anybody would use them for the amount you pay! You barely get an upgrade from the free account and your site will still only work whenever they feel like working!
Plus there is a set-up fee which if you do any kind of research on hosting MOST places won't have those.
Honestly it's just a trap from going to free to having a (very small change) "real host". Please just look around before starting with them! They offer nothing! And even if you aren't looking for much you can still find something better for the same price (or less) but more!
I left them within the first 2 weeks because after having so many problems for the amount I was paying (I dont remember the exact price but back then the starter plan was $15+) that I looked around and realized I should of done that in the first place! |

Yahoo web hosting has served me and my company(s) for more than 4 years now. We have never had our site down (Yahoo performs site backups hourly), have never had any problem that couldn't be resolved, their technical staff are well informed (but their sales staff are garbage), they have excellent communication via email and phone support, and Yahoo has a lot of options for the professional.
I currently upload my site using Publisher 2003 Pro with ftp, have more than 5,000 .xls (Excel) files to support my site, and have never had any problems. They are a bit "higher" priced compared to other "discount" hosting services (but you do get what you pay for). I don't mind paying the extra 2 or 3 dollar difference per month because I know that when a visitor goes to my site, it will be there. Another draw back is that Yhaoo has a file-size limit: if you have files larger than 5MB, forget it -- I work around this issue by having a free file server with a seperate company that has a 250MB file size limit (that's a big file), and hyperlink to that external file.
I recommend Yahoo web hosting for small and medium sized business. |

Run! Our server cannot reliably server a 2MB PDF, often fails on a 4MB file, and pretty much always fails on larger files. Customer Support is non-existant, always promising, NEVER delivering despite assurances. Save yourself gray hairs, do not even consider Yahoo!. |

Let me just say one thing up front: THEIR SUPPORT SUCKS! It takes FOREVER to get a response, IF you get a response AT ALL! They don't have their 1-800 number readily available to members either! The only reason why I have it is because they included it in an e-mail I got about my billing changes about 2 years back!
I've been with Yahoo (Geocities) for several years now and had signed up for their package at $11.95 a month for 5 GB of web space and 200GB
of data transfer. They provided not only PageBuilder (an applet based drag and drop editor), but also SiteBuilder (a more advanced drag and drop editor that you could use on your computer without being on the internet). Everything was fine for about 3 years or more... Then, just a few weeks ago, I went to update my site after a year of being too busy to update it... I was SHOCKED to find out that I somehow was changed back to the regular amount of space and data transfer that comes with a FREE site there! Yet, I was STILL PAYING $11.95 A MONTH! I know that because I saw it every month on my bank statement! I sent in a Help Request form to Yahoo asking them to check and see how long this had been going on and to give me a refund for those months I'd been paying for nothing. I received a request for my information so that they could look it up. I sent in that information, but what happened next shocked me even more than finding out I had been paying for a FREE site! They sent me an e-mail that sounded like it came from a machine saying they had cancelled the payments per month, but there was NO MENTION OF HOW LONG I'D BEEN PAYING FOR NOTHING, AND NO MENTION ANYWHERE OF A REFUND OF MY WASTED MONEY!!! I am VERY disappointed! You can be sure I will be pursuing this further in hopes of getting my money back!

Good basic web service / economical and generous with storage
Transfer speeds somewhat unreliable - wide variance depending on time of day..
But they only support ftp transfer which is a pain for those of us behind a firewall who would like to be able to use scp or some other means for updating web sites. |
