    it is simply great, absolutely the best host you can get, apart from the fact that you can't upload the .htaccess file! there are quite a few limiations, like the file names can't start with a [.] you will find these limitations slowly!!:)

    I've been using them for 1 year now and I have no complaints. The customer service is ok, too(for merchants, anyway..)

    You don't have total control over your domain.....not being able to use the .htaccess file is big

    Hello! I have been using this service for a while, and it is great! I get my page in the first 10 when searching for some keywords, and public is coming continuously.

    I completely agree, I can't imagine building a pro site without .htacces file. Why would I pay money for a hosting that doesn't give me a complete control?

    i absolutely agree there, there are even more limitations that i found out later:eek:, anyways, other than that, the service etc is nice.

    also, the pages loads fine, you get a lot of yahoo business accounts which allows 20 mb attachments, anyways, there are a few benifits:rolleyes:

    Depends on what your business is and how you plan to handle it.

    I need .htaccess to be around for a lot of things I do, which also helps me in SEO aspect. So I wouldn't prefer 'em. But as I already did mention, it's more of your personal choice and the sorta business you are involved in.

    alternatives are godaddy! but then am sure many will dis-agree on this aswell. anyways, if you are planning to make some easy html based pages, then yahoo is a great option!:D

    i don't think anyone could be better if you are talking about speeds, never got downtime in about a year! see my profile homepage, that site is hosted on yahoo! friends cyber club!


    no, godaddy did not had any downtimes as yet, been there coustomer for over a year, and is absolutely recomended, control is there, but i have never tried to get more control over the domains, they have a nice support so you can get your answers pretty quickly!!
    you can upload htaccess, etc, so there you have more freedom than yahoo!!
    sitesieve.com my new site is going to be hosted on godaddy, let's see how this one dose!:D
