Anyone use Yahoo hosting?

    I never hear anything about it, but it looks like a really good deal. Unlimited disk space and bandwidth, 1000 emails, 24-hour free phone support, all for $11.95 a month. (First 3 months is $8.96)

    Seems like it would be worth it, seeing as a lot of the hosts I've seen limit your disk space and bandwidth yet are comparable in price. Anyone used Yahoo hosting? If yes, how did you like it?

    I use Yahoo webhosting and it has problems and terrible customer service. I am switching over to bluehosting. I have them as an affiliate on my website and everyone that has signed up rave about the top quality service.

    I heard some bad reviews about Yahoo Hosting. They don't have good support.

    I'd suggest bluehost, much better than Yahoo.

    I used yahoo for domain registration and their control panel sucks. For hosting, I would recommend www.sambahosting.com

    If Yahoo hosting is as bad as Yahoo domains, I would quickly put that credit card back in your wallet and RUN!!!

    This is interesting, I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

    I'm not that advanced as far as website design so that may be why I like their setup.
    I find the control panel easy to use and I find I have the easiest time navigating around.

    The one time I did have a question on how to setup some stuff with subdomains, I got a response in about a day. It was the most detailed response I have ever got from any support system anywhere. It ran through everything I had to do in extreme easy to understand detail, and actually included a bunch of additional details in case I wanted to do some more advanced stuff. It was so detailed and had so much info that I kept it and refer to it whenever I need to know how to do something.

    That being said, if so many people have complaints about them then that means there is something wrong with them and you should probably go elsewhere. I also use hostgator and they seem really good.
