Your Questions About Yahoo Web Host
Mandy asks…
What’s the best bulletin board software for Yahoo Web Hosting users?
I downloaded the phpBB add-on from yahoo… but apparently yahoo doesn’t let us disable the register_globals… which is a security hazard! So what are some of you guys using as your message board on your Yahoo hosted website???
admin answers:
It’s sort of hard to host a phpbb sight with yahoo. Yahoo does not support MYsql. If you did need to put up a forum, I guess you could always just get a free cpanel host and set up DNS. 🙂
Any other questions just ask
Hope this helps,

Daniel asks…
How can I create a website with yahoo web hosting with a domain that I bought with godaddy.com?
I know it is possible, but don’t know how. Is it free to transfer?
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
When you create your website with Yahoo and get a domain name with Go Daddy, all you need to do is go into your domain control panel in Go Daddy and change the domain name server (dns) to make your domain name point to Yahoo’s web server.
When you perform that action, it’s free. But if you’re transferring your domain name from one company to another company, then the transfer will cost you money.
For example, let’s say you want to transfer your domain name from Go Daddy to Yahoo, then Yahoo will charge you for the transfer. After the transfer, your domain name will be hosted with Yahoo, not Go Daddy anymore.
But if you’re simply pointing the domain name from Go Daddy to Yahoo’s web server (or web space), then you won’t have to pay a dime. In this case, your domain name is still hosting with Go Daddy, so any other changes in settings you want to make with your domain name, you still need to access your Go Daddy’s domain control panel.
Transferring and pointing domain name are two different things.
Here’s a very good step-by-step guide on how to point your domain name from Go Daddy to Yahoo server by changing the dns:
1. Go to http://diehardwebhosting.com
2. Click on the top navigation tab [Web Hosting Tips]
3. On the [Web Hosting Tips] page, look for the link [How to Point Your Domain Name to Third Party Web Hosting Server (Web Space)?].
