Overview
Of all available web hosting service providers, Yahoo web hosting could be the most popular of them all. Yahoo is a conglomerate of different web services, and one of the services they offer is web hosting. Basically, compared to the other web hosting providers out in the market, Yahoo website hosting is pretty much the simplest of all and is recommended especially for those who are first timers in managing and creating websites.
Yahoo’s web hosting stint began in 2002 when they began to make waves as a search engine. Because of its popularity, many have decided to get Yahoo to host their website because of its success in other fields of the Internet. Yahoo offers a simpler web hosting program which is why this is the best option for new web hosting users.
So aside from the popularity of the name, what makes Yahoo special and different from all the other web hosting programs out in the market? Many Yahoo hosting reviews would say that this hosting program is actually good, but how?
Price and plans
Like most web hosting service providers, Yahoo offers 3 basic packages, which vary only depending on how long you decide to subscribe with the company. The longer the billing term, the cheaper it gets, but basically all three plans have the same features.
-
12-month plan. The shortest billing term of Yahoo is their 12-month plan, which is priced at $12.95 per month. It includes everything that you will need to manage and put up a website.
-
24 month plan. The 24-month plan is cheaper by a dollar a month, priced at $11.95 per month. Having the same features as the 12-month plan, it is just up to the consumer if he or she would like a longer billing term with Yahoo.
-
36 month plan. Priced at just $9.95 per month, the longest billing term is also the cheapest.
If you will notice, Yahoo’s web hosting program is a bit pricey compared to other web hosting providers since most of them can offer a monthly rate of only $3-4. But the quality of the Yahoo web hosting platform maybe worth it to you.
Guarantee
Yahoo offers a 30-day money back guarantee. For new users, they are given 30 days as a trial period to think if Yahoo web hosting is the perfect web hosting service provider for their websites. They can cancel their subscriptions within the 30-day period and when they do they are entitled to a full refund.
Most customers will ask why Yahoo small business web hosting only offers a 30 day money back guarantee if other smaller companies can actually assure an anytime money back guarantee. Well, 30 days is more than enough to decide if you are satisfied with what yahoo has to offer. And besides, almost all companies which have the anytime money back guarantee don’t promise a full refund.
Features
Just like most web hosting service Yahoo provides unlimited bandwidth and disk space. They also provide a reliable customer support service which can be contacted any time of the day. Aside from getting a free domain name, email addresses, and a user friendly control panel Yahoo’s web hosting also provides $100 Yahoo Credit and a $50 Google AdWords Credit.
Support
Since Yahoo is definitely a big company, their support staff is the also one of the best. The 24-hour customer support line is one of the most reliable ones I have seen. Yahoo web hosting can be contacted through their live chat, through email, or through their hotline. Expect some of the best and knowledgeable people to answer any of your queries any time of the day. It is very important to have your website with a web host that you trust. You never know when something will go wrong and when you will need the support to get you up and running again.
Ease of Use
Yahoo offers one of simplest control panels making it easy for first timers to manage and put up their websites. Yahoo also adds video tutorials and online guides plus the 24-hour customer help center to assist any problems or queries that their clients may encounter.
