September 20, 2011 P00P D0LLAZ 4U ( poopdollaz@y... ) | Where to begin... The control panel is outdated, confusing, and slow. Yahoo doesn't allow access to an .htaccess file, so there's a big security issue right off the bat. What's worse is that their servers also run PHP v4.3.11, so if you're planning on using Wordpress you're stuck back in the dark ages (also the buggy and insecure ages) with v2.9. Save yourself a headache and stay away from Yahoo.

August 10, 2011 AF ( -no email- ) | Managing my website is complicated. (Other hosting companies are much easier) Have been with Yahoo businness for almost 10 years. Also have domain EMAIL with them. On January I stopped receiving emails for 3 days. I had a hard time finding out why. Turns out my credit card expiration date was 2004. How did they renew from 2004-2011 with no problem? And if they are my EMAIL provider, couldn't they have sent my an email notifying me? THEY HAVE MY EMAIL ADDRESS. Almost 3 days without [...]

February 18, 2011 no ( no@n... ) | Yahoo needs to die. They have ruined so many companies since the early 90's. I have no idea why they still exist. I have dozens of web sites hosted with them through the years, and each one a complete nightmare. I hate this company with a passion.

December 13, 2010 James Dawson ( jamestdawson@y... ) | I have used Yahoo web hosting for many years. I found repeated difficulties in uploading using their file manager and was forced to use an ftp program at additional costs. The site statistics are confusing and lack sufficient detail. The renewal fee for the web hosting was more than twice that of other competitors, despite the fact that I had been with Yahoo for more than five years.
I placed an order to move the domain/hosting to Ipage. I then canceled my Yahoo Business Account. For more [...]

ANY other hosting service will be able to provide far superior customer service, webhosting tools (FOR FREE!) and any other information you need to get your website and email up and running. Whether your a beginner or advanced in web design DO NOT purchase their so called "business hosting" or these over-priced monthly e-commerce tools when there are far better developed and supported tools out there FOR FREE.

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 [...]

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.

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.

March 1, 2009 Rich ( walawncare@c... ) | 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.

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 [...]

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.
