It seems that Yahoo does web hosting, and they offer WordPress as one of their one-click install kinds of things. Given the absolutely absurd responsiveness of yahoo.com, I was curious if anyone actually used them as a webhost?
Their pricing is decent, but I'm wondering about performance? I'm currently with Dreamhost, and I'm okay with them, except that WP performance isn't great (not awful, though, either), despite having wp-cache installed and operational.
So how good it Yahoo's small business webhosting? Their TOS seems pretty generous as well.
Has anyone ever used Yahoo to host their website? I have heard some good and more bad comments about them. I am a rookie at this so my site is going to be pretty basic. How do they rank vs. other hosting companies?
Yahoo has an “easy site creator” tool to make a site with a template like process. Do sites that use these rank as well in search engines as sites built without a template?
I bought a hosting package from Yahoo Small Business India.
Initially i was happy because the package was cheap and had good features. Database was easily set up I installed php admin tool also with one click install. No other packages are available. One has to manually upload and install.
I tried to upload phpbb but i wasn't able to upload some files. I emailed them and asked why the server gives an error while uploading .htaccess files, the reply was we don't support it. I uploaded it without .htaccess and installed it. I installed wordpess and wanted to have clean URLs but yahoo does not support mod rewrite. I don’t know much about php and databases.
9th July 2008: While I was learning I modified some tables due to which my database administrator permissions were lost. I was able to login using phpadmin but unable to create new databases and modify previously created databases and tables. I emailed customer care regarding the problem and got a useless reply on 10th July that I should change the password of the database administrator.
I changed the password but the problem was not resolved. On 11th I again emailed the problem in detail with screenshots to the customer care. On 12th, I got a reply “we have forwarded this issue to the technical team and we will inform you once this issue is resolved.”
On 12th I emailed to ask when the problem will be resolved but got no reply from them. Till date (15th July) the problem is not resolved. No one even wants to reply to emails.
See below my emails and replies given by yahoo customer care:
******************************************************** My email to yahoo customer care on 9th July:

Dear Sir, Thanks for your reply. I have already done that from database administrator link but the problem is not resolved. This problem has started since yesterday because of my mistake. I modified the original database administrator "user name" from the database "mysql". After modification all my permissions have lost. I have not modified the yroot user. So can you grant the administrator permissions to new user The problem is that after logging in using phpadmin i don't have permission to create a new database. The databases and tables that I created earlier are also not available to me. I am also attaching the screenshot (.gif) of what error i am getting. When i click any database in phpadmin i get the following message:
SQL query: SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `wpress` ; MySQL said:#1044 - Access denied for user to database 'wpress'
If there is no solution then please reset the database, so that MySQL database can be set up again. Regards, (Vinay Chhabra)

I have been hosting my website with Yahoo for almost a year now. I am looking into a new hosting service that is better than Yahoo. I will be having a Content Management System (probably Joomla) and few more databases. Planning on installing a free shopping cart.
What do you think is a top web host to replace Yahoo?
I am trying to pick a hoster, but I would like some help please. The site I am making is going to be a personal site, with a photo gallery, which will start out with about 500-1000 photos and will grow anywhere from 10-a few hundred a month. I also plan on having a small blog.
The hosters I am currently looking at are:
Hostgator, Web.com, 1&1, WestHost, DreamHost, and Yahoo Web Hosting. Which provider out of these do you think would be the best? Also are there any other providers you recommend.
Is there any how possible to install ionCube loaders on Yahoo Web hosting? They don't give access to php.ini which is needed to load ioncube. Any ideas?
I don't have Linux or whatever I just got Windows XP or Vista.
I'm not an expert at creating websites, I find it difficult. I don't want to have to install databases or msyql manually, I just don't have a clue and would rather leave it.
I just know how to use WordPress and I want a WordPress hosted site.
I would like to know if there are any sites similiar to this: [url]
Which includes stuff like cPanel & Fantastico [url]
Fantastico looks brilliant as I can simply install WordPress in a few clicks without having to mess with FTP and database/msqyl etc.
Does anyone know any reccomended sites that use Fantastico for Windows Vista which I can install WordPress easily?
(I don't want to use '3ix' as I have seen ALOT of negative reviews)
I would really like to be able to edit and customize wordpress templates but apparently need a server that will support wordpress or something so I can upload and test. But currently I can not really afford any premium hosting... has anyone got any ideas if there is anything else I can do? or would anyone possibly be able to offer a small amount of space that I could use temporarily until I can afford to purchase a hosting account?
1. which web hosting provider is good for starting web hoster like me?
2. i need web host who support wordpress as blog software and web hosting must be fair price and my blog contain only 10mb size and bandwidth may 1gb/month intial.
2. can i use more than one blog in same domain, if ok in that each blog can have their own wordpress blog software i.e i can instal more than one wordprss software in same domain and web host?
3. if i accept free domain register from my web hoster, then if i transfer my blog after 5 months or 9 months to different web host provider can i use same domain or it is not possible?
I have recently bought a domain for blgos for designers and was wondering what hosting would be best to start of with and which compan to go with.
Shall I start with shared hosting then move to a VPS when needed? Which company shall I go with?
Are Slicehost good?
Because I have just bought the domain, I won't need alot of bandwidth and space, but I will need to be able to upgrade quickly and easily. Oh, and cheaply.
I will put some advertising on the site so I will get a bit of money from that, but I want it to be cheap as I don't have much money at the moment. I might also have a 'Premium' members part where people get extra disc space, etc. So I will also get money from that to go towards the hosting, domain registration, etc.
im running a few blogs on a shared hosting account (steadfast) and i noticed the 18 sql queries being generated by a fresh install of wordpress 2.7 are taking 0.246 seconds to execute. <!-- 18 queries. 0.246 seconds. -->
considering this is a shared hosting server with over 800+ more domains on it, is the performance better or worse when compared to other shared hosting providers ? archim3des
I have most of my domains with GoDaddy and use their included hosting ("Economy Hosting") for a couple of them. Previously, the included hosting included support for apps ...
I`ve got a problem with plesk when hosting Wordpress, when using Wordpress navigating between the pages (front-end and back-end) server time seems to be 15 sec.I`ve checked CPU usage and that stays under 5%.
When I install Drupal or Concrete5 or any other application that uses PHP with MYSQL it runs very fast.I`ve already fine-tuned PHP / Apache2 / Nginx & Mysql to get the max possible performance out of it.
What i`m using for hardware: i7 920 2.6Ghz 24GB Ram LSI Raid controller 9260-8i RAID 10, 6 WD Black disks (internal speed goes about 450mb/sec) RAID 1, 2 x Samsung SSD Evo 840
Software: ESXI 5.5, optimised for maximum performance. (no standard config) PLESK VM has 8 cores, 16GB Ram and I/O access priority set to max.
If I move the PLESK VM to the SSD datastore it makes no difference.Again, the problem only happens when i`m installing Wordpress..I Also did a manual install of Wordpress, same issue..I`m going to try the older version of Wordpress (3.9) so see i`m having the same problems..Using the latest plesk 12 on Ubuntu 14 with trail license at the moment.
I like to know that the companies who claim to be "wordpress expert host" are really different than other hosts or they just try to attract wordpress users?
For several months the Yahoo bot had been controlled to one visit per 40 seconds with a robots.txt page. Today it is not working and creating several page impressions per minute.
Has anyone seen any new advice on how to control this pesky creature?
My server is being pounded with Yahoo bots, close to 500 or more at a time. They are causing my loads at various times of the day to skyrocket, crashing the mysql server, etc. They have been on my site for about 4 days now and I just dont see why that many bots are needed to crawl a single site for several days.
Is there any way around this without banning their ips? Any way to limit them?
i want to preview a file in my browser but so far it s not possible i am using yahoo sitebuilder 2.5 and when i m trying to previw the website an erro appears and says that i havent save my site in the write place.. when i do that it says that i haven still save my site in the right place,, i spend about a week of work on it... also i cant publish it.. is there anyway to c the html code or do somthn else?
I have this strange problem with smartermail, it can send perfectly to hotmail and gmail but when it tried sending to yahoo accounts, there is always a delay and the email end in the bulk folder.
Such problems does not occur with my qmail or icewarp merak. Any idea how to solve? Have already emailed Yahoo hoping to get a whitelisting of my IP. Besides installing domainkeys any other ways?
If I'm not mistaken we have reverse DNS setup and no blacklist entries. Is there any reason why welcome emails from our custom CP are being filtered directly into the Yahoo SPAM box?
Here's the full headers from my personal email. This is the exact message a client would be sent.

Some of my emails send to the clients who are using Yahoo's email is stored in their " Bulk " folder, so Yahoo is considering my email as spamer althought i'm not. So do you know how can i fix it ? Do i need to contat Yahoo about this matter ?
I am looking for an expert who can help me configure my dedicated server to ensure my email gets delivered to Yahoo.
I have an autoresponder script hosted on the server. The script was previously hosted with another host and I got excellent deliverability to Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and everyone else.
Unfortunately the volume of mail was too large for that host, so now I have a dedicated server. Since I moved to the dedicated server (two weeks ago), my mail does not get delivered to Yahoo. It doesn't even go into the junk mail folder. It just disappears.
I am very strictt about using confirmed optin for my lists, so it's not a blacklist issue. Right from day one on the new server, my mail did not reach Yahoo. So it must be the way my server is set up.
If there is someone who knows how to resolve this, I am willing to pay you to solve the problem for me. Or, if there is anyone who can give me some advice, that would be much appreciated.
