That is one hosting company that I really would not host a site with ever again. They are very expensive for what they have to offer. OK it is owned by Yahoo which is a very large and popular site so they know how to keep a server up and running I would imagin, but what you get for your money in features is not that much. For example, you could pay less and get much more bandwidth and webspace elsewhere.

When I started all this web stuff, I first started with Yahoo Geocities. I then went from having it free to actually paying for it where I then got a free domain name and more features with the web hosting, which cost me around $8.99 per month. I was paying that and didn't have php or mysql features with the web hosting at Yahoo.

I have heard that many people have gone with them and have got their domain names for free and then once they move away from Yahoo, they have then not been able to transfer their domain over to a new registrar as Yahoo keeps them. This had not personally happened to me though. I successfully got my domain transfered, but the registrar provider they use or was using at the time was very expensive so I had to change to a cheaper hosting provider. The domain alone was costing nearly $40 AUD for a .com with Yahoo's provider.
