In the over-crowded hosting market, it can be a daunting task to find a cheap and reliable company to host your website. All the companies promise stable service, but which ones are best for you and your needs? There are several different ways to find hosting that suits your budget but also provides great service. Let me answer your question by showing you what you need to know about finding good web hosting.

My suggestion is do not buy web hosting based on trust from what you see on the web hosts main page. There is nothing worse than spending all your time and effort building a great web site only to find out that your web host is down all the time or you have to wait an hour on hold just to get customer service on the line to help you fix a simple issue. Visit https://www.top15hosting.com and look through the independent and customer reviews. Look at the rankings of the top rated and do some comparison based on your needs. Do a little research before buying web hosting and you can avoid throwing your money away.

The common mistake when looking for website hosting is to just quickly browse the web and find the cheapest web hosting company they can find. They don’t take on board the fact that without choosing the best cheap host they could run into potential problems which will actually cost them more over time. Some cheap hosts oversell their servers so you will experience slow website response times and lots of downtime. Another common problem with cheap hosts is that they can’t offer the same level of support, so you can find yourself having long hold times and poor quality tech support.

It is probably the specific IP of the server your site is hosted on that is blocked, if you could get Yahoo! Small biz to move your site to another server that could help.

Your other options are to move to another hosting company altogether, or even host your site in China if most of your site audience is actually from there.

Check out the following blog to learn more about ways to keep your site unblocked in China:

Keeping your website unblocked in China

For proxy solutions I recommend https://www.proxy4china.com ; however you obviously can’t ask from your customers to visit your site through a proxy so getting your site unblocked should be your work.

If your Yahoo web host is Asp/Asp.net ( Windows 2k or 2003 ), you can upload or FTP your database file to the host space ,and connect by ADO OR ADO.NET

But , If the host space is PHP ( Linux Server ) ,you have to output your Access date to MySQL database. Generally speaking,The PHP host is better than ASP Host ,Such as this website power by IPowerWeb Linux Host: https://host.joyfrosh.com

You can use the Joomla with your Yahoo! Web Hosting plan.
You can install Joomla in your account directly from the Joomla’s web site. Download the compressed file from Downloads section of the Joomla’s web site:
https://www.joomlatribune.com/joomla-tutorials/how-to-install-joomla-cms.html

After downloading the new version of Joomla you will need to uncompress the downloaded file on your computer using a software like WinZip. After uncompressing the file you can rename the folder accordingly and can upload the folder to your account using a FTP client. Upload all the files of Joomla in a separate subdirectory under your File Manager.

For creating a subdirectory under your File Manager, I have searched a link. Visit:
https://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gfiles/gfiles-06.html

While uploading the files “.htaccess” file and few files with special characters in the filename will not get uploaded. You can ignore these files. Yahoo! Doesn’t support .htaccess files.
For information on where to obtain a free FTP program, visit:

https://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gftp/gftp-08.html

Once you have downloaded and installed an FTP program, please review the instructions at:

https://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gftp/gftp-09.html

You will need the following information:

* Address/Host Name: ftp.domain-name.com
* User Name: Yahoo! ID@domain-name.com
* Password: yourYahoo!IDpassword

After uploading the files you will need to configure the newly uploaded Joomla (CMS). Before you can configure Joomla you will need to create a new database using phpMyAdmin. After creating the new database you can use the new database name to configure Joomla. The hostname to be used to configure is “mysql” and the Administrator Email adderss should be one of the domain email address with a mailbox.

For creating MySQL database, please visit:

https://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/mysql/index.html

The minimum system requirement for the Joomla:

I hope it will be best answer, I was doing research on this for last one day and finally i got it.

I am no professional webmaster but when uploading my sites to any hosting place I use FTP ( File Transfer Protocol).
I used yahoo but when it came to using certain basic scripts it was’nt possible so I switched to IX and never looked back.
They are half the price and way more efficient.

I think it does why????

admin answers:

You got it right. What kind of business do not allow us to contact them, even for presale… Can you imagine how the customer support would be like? Why bother looking for the PHP version if they don’t bother letting us the peace of mind to talk to them.

Well, Yahoo should stick to what they do best, doing search engine stuff. I made the mistake to register a domain with them too. I would advise you not to go with them.

If you need a tip for choosing a web hosting to use, I suggest you do the following:

1. Go to the webhost review sites such as webhostingjury, hostingsthatsuck.com or webhostinggeeks and list down about 3 common top hosting companies.

2. Next, for each web hosting X, do a “X sucks” search on Google. Read some complaints and see if you may encounter the same problems like them. Some of the complaints may relate to certain groups of users only such as VPS, dedicated server users or resellers. So you may not be affected if you are not from these categories.

3. Eliminate those hostings you feel uncomfortable with, and look for the best bargain hosting for your money.

Some good webhosts to consider are Fatcow, InMotion and Webfaction.

Good luck.

No, all you have to do is edit the dns records for your domain to point to your new host.

Eg: ns1@yourserverhost.net

normally when you transfer a domain you are moving it to a new service provider. When you transfer, you will also have to renew it for at least 1 extra year on top of the time left on the domain. You may also be able to push a domain for free to a new service provider if they let you do that. Depends on who you transfer with.

admin answers:

I have over a dozen of my websites hosted at https://www.squidoo.com/free-website-hosting

They have all the features you asked about and you can host unlimited domains.

I think they have all the features you’d expect from shared hosting companies.

I’ve used them for over a year and haven’t had downtime or any problems.

You can also use your own domain or a free subdomain from them.

YOU CAN FIND ONE ON HERE AND COMPARE THE FEATURES: https://www.free-webhosts.com/no-forced-ads.php

I remember something like this in the tools section of the control panel. Try doing a search for gallery or pic gallery, something like that. — if nothing comes up, look through all the wizards –

also, if you have photoshop, you can make your own pic gallery + web pages in seconds with photoshop. Go to FILE >> AUTOMATE >> WEB PIC GALLERY

it whips it up for you in a few minutes, just direct it to the folder with the pics in it and it will generate all the html pages for you, with frontpage ( https://www.interkeys.com/htmleditor you can get an html editor and edit them to your liking.

Joomla doesn’t have a 30 day trial. It’s free to begin with. You probably have a 30 day trial on some hosting service.
To move Joomla from one hosting to another one I recommend using Akeeba backup extension. It will save you a lot of time. It allows you to back up complete Joomla install (including files and database) on one server and restore them on a new one. It will take care of all directory re-mappings etc. Otherwise, if you do it manually over FTP you may end up with non-working install until you tweak all directories etc.
Good luck.

We do offer up to 500 subdomains, but only one domain name per order. For example, while you could have dang.com as your primary domain, and blog.dang.com, artwork.dang.com, and tutorials.dang.com as your subdomains, you would not be able to get dang.com, dan_g.com, and dannyg.com as separate domain names under the same order.

Best option for you is to use a good HTML editor and build your website and keep the back up so that even if you change the web host it would be handy. If you want to change your web host kindly visit either of the sites listed below for reliable and cheaper web hosting solutions.

Yes it can, you could download the files then upload them to another website. Or you could copy the source code then change it to fit the other website.

admin answers:

This is not possible because Yahoo uses proprietary software for the builder. You could, however, download the static HTML pages then upload them somewhere else, then use a webpage authoring software like Microsoft Frontpage or Dreamweaver. If you’d like a free editor, try Nvu (https://nvudev.com).

Easy- in Microsoft Digital Pro 10 I clicked for a new image and immediately saved it as a gif file. Then in Yahoo Sitebuilder I picked it to cover one or all the images on a page. Sitebuilder shows the outline and the “handles” to stretch the transparent image. When somebody tries to save the underneath image they save the transparent image on top. Does not work in Windows Paint.
