Yahoo! HostingEveryone has probably heard of the internet giant Yahoo! as one thing or another, internet protal, search engine, official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup, owner of del.icio.us, flickr etc. One thing that probably won't come to mind though is Yahoo! being a webhost. Unlike other big webhosting companies like Dreamhost or HostGator, Yahoo! Small Business only offers three levels of shared hosting plans. Despite the fact that it doesn't offer the most competitive price and lacks the room for expansion, some features of Yahoo! Small Business hosting makes it perfect for startup sites which is one of the reasons I hosted my site Blogcrowds.com with Yahoo!
Yahoo! supports the most popular languages and databases with FTP accessibility and a nice control panel that is sufficient. But the best Yahoo! has to offer is the online software available with one click such as phpbb or WordPress. Another important feature Yahoo! includes is credits with various marketing tools, it even offers $100 free advertising with Yahoo! and $50 with Google AdWord. Finally since you are hosting with Yahoo!, of course your site is automatically submitted to Yahoo! and it will constantly spider it before your site even show up on any other search engine. Not a big deal? Well it is when you're just starting up.

that well be inevitable, Yahoo is probably a more diverse company but with google stock at $600 who knows?
The question of course is which side will you be on?
