New Unlimited Hosting

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by Dan Burtan, Feb 7, 2008.

    The "unlimited" hosting account has always been controversial within the hosting industry. Some see it as a marketing gimmick that promises more than it can deliver, while others say the focus on disk space and bandwidth quotas is geeky, and has contributed to the growth of niche hosting plays built around blogs, photos and videos.

    Can the hosting quota be killed? Yahoo is ready to find out. Yahoo Small Business has introduced a shared hosting account with unlimited disk space, data transfer and email storage space for $11.95 a month.

    I'm working on a new site that will contain a lot of audio and video...this seems pretty tempting to me. Plus, as I wrote, it could be a YouTube killer. Why upload your videos to YouTube when you can host them yourself for free?

    Now, why would Microsoft, err, Yahoo want to do something like that?

    Sounds interesting, but after the trouble i've experienced in the past with Yahoo small business domains, i think i will stay clear.
    Also think there will be limits somewhere.

    I think they probably have a limit on how fast you can add content. I mean, surely you can't throw a Tb up there in a single week. I'm going to give it a shot and check it out though.

    It is not unlimited as everywhere els

    Here is a quote!
    Conclusion:
    It is a shared hosting with low privileges
    It is nothing more then a simple hosting like other providers are offering

    Overall I guess it will be like Godaddy factor-"If they are a good domain service doesn't mean they are good hosting provider"

    My 2 and a half cents.

    Once your site becomes popular and starts using server resource they will kick you off their server like every other host does.
