Yahoo Hosting Review
Hosting Features
Yahoo is a great search engine and new portal but does not provide the best WordPress hosting.
They have a full range of packages and tech support but may not give you the level of customization and flexibility you may need. Yahoo!
Hosting features:
- First 3 months heavily discounted
- 24 hour phone support
- Well established shopping cart addon
Yahoo is well known but does not have single hosting focus like many of the other hosting companies. WordPress sites may run a little slower than with some of the other hosting companies.
