Customer Testimonial Yahoo Web Hosting ( webhosting.yahoo.com Yahoo Web Hosting )

"I have been looking at for a different hosting service to host my website, but after looking at other testimonials for the other websites I believe I will leave it where it is longer.
The good thing about it is my website has never been down. My emails , never lost.
The thing I wish where different, being able to use PHP 5 and being able to edit the config file.
I have never had a SQL problem and have the basic bus. plan.
At one time I had a custom php shopping cart and on the fly php picture resizing. No problems.
They are hard to get a hold of but never had too.
I have hosted here for about 2 years, and now have unlimited space and bandwidth and email space.
Again, after reading the other testimonials , especially about the emails, I will probably stay. Losing emails would just about end our business.




However, you can only have one domain name per plan."

FrustratedinNYC
( darcynaganuma at gmail dot com )		I would SERIOUSLY reconsider using Yahoo Web Hosting. For reasons unknown to me, my small business website disappeared. When I called yahoo to inquire, I was faced with an automated service that placed me on hold for over 45 minutes. When I finally reached a customer service representative, I was told to contact the abuse department via email. I complied, only to discover, the next day, that my yahoo business and personal email accounts had both been deleted. I researched online and called customer care (horrific, all day affair), and was informed that my contacts and data (emails and website) had been permanently wiped--BY YAHOO! Nobody was able to help me, and I have yet to hear back from the abuse department (only reachable via email). This all came out of nowhere with no written explanation, courtesy phone call, or action taken on the part of yahoo. I am shocked and appalled by this outrageous breach of trust and customer loyalty.

geek ( geek(at)hotmail(dot)com )		I just had to write this on YAHOO, but I would advise everyone to keep away from them. They must have extremely crappy old servers and nothing has changed..

They are running PHP Version 4.3.11 which is outdated and is not of the required spec for bulletin boards such as vbulletin (Must be 5.1 or higher etc).

Seriously, RUN RUN RUN before yahoo bites the dust.

James ( scorpio_34_s(at)yahoo(dot)com )		Do not host your website on yahoo. There are so many complaints about yahoo shutting your website down. I was a customer of yahoo hosting for over 3 years someone told yahoo I had a copy right violation on my website. I address the issuse with yahoo and thought the issue was resolve , instead of yahoo coming back to the loyal customer to see if I resolved the issue. Yahoo shut my site down and sense I didnt backup the files on my local computer they kept my database and web application files. Go to google and type in yahoo shut my website down and see how many complaints you will find in yahoo. Years worth of work was gone. Yahoo will not allow you to retrieve your database,application files or email. DO NOT USE YAHOO HOSTING. My website had issues 25 percent of the time, from being off line or running extremly slow.

Zorro ( deankjm at yahoo dot com )		I bought some domain names with them and they renew the yearly charge for a domain name is $40. Be careful when you pay either $2 or $10 a domain name, its recurrent charge is $40/year and they don't tell you. I canceled the domain name and they still charged me $40 only months later when I scanned my Visa bill and found this bastar Yahoo had charged me for me cancelled domain.

-anonymous- ( -no email- )		Yahoo totally sucks. Bought business hosting. Redelgated the nameservers to yahoo but domain still pending at Yahoo after 90 hours. They do not reply emails. Their "will call you" service didn't work. And no point caling from abroad ($$) to them with waiting times of over an hour.

I think I'll wait til next morning - if no reply, no email, no site. It is adios Yahoo. I'll take my money elsewhere.

By the way I have a domain registered at Netfirms. Double checked from them I had done the change of the name servers correctly. And got a reply from the support in 15 minutes. Something for Yahoo to learn. I'd go for Netfirms / all - but I don't like their email - our freelancers are more used to Yahoo.

Rich ( walawncare(at)comcast(dot)net )		I signed up with Yahoo in April of 2008 to host my website and have had my account charged for the fee every 3 months since then. However, Yahoo did not take over my website from the other hosting company as they said they would. Yahoo has been charging me for a service they did not provide, nor can I get anyone from Yahoo to help me with this problem. People need to beware of what I believe to be fraudulent activities from this company.

Dave ( dave at 3ringsmedia dot com )		Until today, we hosted 15 sites with Yahoo. Out of nowhere Yahoo's Abuse department decided to down one of our sites for TOS violation. We had done nothing and we alone manage the site. Hack? Yahoo support has no phone access to the Abuse department. You can either email or fill out a form on the abuse site. 24 hours later the reply to my email said the 'TOS was violated - that's why we took down your site'. No kidding. No reason how or why. So I filled out the form. There is a field in the form which is labeled "Who are you reporting?". I wasn't reporting anyone - just my problem - but, after trying 3 times, I was not able to submit the form without filling in that field. I didn't want to put anyone else's Yahoo ID in so - unfortunately - I put in mine. Now all sites associated with that Yahoo ID are down. No email. No site. Nothing. We may not even be able to retrieve our files. It is very scary to realize that anyone can enter any ID and down multiple businesses. Goodbye Yahoo.

Anon ymous ( omnigate[at]yahoo[dot]com )		Yahoo! webhosting service is VERY BAD. Their Customer Service will answer about 1 in 5 emails. And when they do, it's just a link to their knowledge base that has little to do with your exact problem or a blow-off like we don't see any errors here, move along.

I tried loading some PHP code and got a version error (requires v5). Tested and the code on Yahoo! is version 4. I asked if they had an upgrade scheduled and when that might be - no reply.

Added MySQL service and get this error "Your PHP MySQL library version 3.23.49 differs from your MySQL server version 4.1.14. This may cause unpredictable behavior." Called tech support and they said it would need to be escalated. Never got a call back or email.

Have issues with sites taking a long time to load with these appearing at the bottom "Waiting for visit.webhosting.yahoo.com" and "Read.us.js2.yimg.com". Again, sent in the problem, no response.

Mobile logon to your website's email doesn't work, it will only log onto your main Yahoo! email account. Same blow off reply from Yahoo!

Some Add-Ons act unpredictably. Like if you add WordPress and then Deactivate and then reactivate in the same directory later, it will be a soupy mess. You will need to activate future instance in a separate directory (yet they warn against this).

SSL is a mess. Another letter to Yahoo! asking about an error received when linking out of an SSL directory back to a non-SSL directory - no reply.

Problems after problems. Maybe it has alot to do with their buyout. But whatever it is, there is a lot of incompetence over there and is the main reason they are losing big time to Google! and their stock has been in the toilet (long before the current financial crisis)

BTW - I REALLY hope Google comes out with a webhosting solution. I'll be the first to sign up.

Dubravko ( dubix21 at yahoo dot com )		YAHOO hosting comes with old PHP, old SQL, you cant implement TYPO3 and modern PHP libraires, they don't respond to emails, but they have 30 day money back guarantee. So you cancel hosting, and if you want money back this is not enough. You must call them by phone. Very handy (for them obviously) ! And they give how many? 1000 emails? But in one day you can send only 250.
