Your Questions About Yahoo Web Hosting
Mark asks…
Page Builder in Yahoo Web Hosting Problem?
For some reason all my pages in subdirectories of my site http://www.barrettsmallengine.com will no longer open with Page Builder. The pages in my main directory open just fine. Anyone know what is going on at Yahoo Web Hosting?
I think I found the problem. If you view the source code of the file manager in the root directory, and then view the source code of the file manager in a subdirectory, there is a difference in the link for each file. Here it is:
IN ROOT DIRECTORY:
IN SUBDIRECTORIES:
The difference is the “type=html” this is now added to the file links in the subdirectory File Manager for some unknown reason. It is likely the reason why Page Builder won’t recognize the files.
Looks like I was a little fast off the mark with that additional information about the cause, because one hour later and Yahoo Web Hosting has fixed the problem. The “type=html” has also disappeared from the file links in the subdirectory source code. I am very relieved!
Maybe I wasn’t so fast off the mark. After the problem was fixed last night, and receiving an email from Yahoo saying the problem was resolved, today the problem is back again. However today some pages in only one of my subdirectories still open with Page Builder. All the others have that “type=html” in the file links again. What a mess!
After 4 phone calls that run you through the same drawn out process and leave you with no answers, and countless emails that get an automated responce, I have come to the conclusion that Yahoo Small Business does not care about it’s customers. It’s now been over a week that I have been unable to edit my pages in subdirectories. I have been a loyal customer of Yahoo Web Hosting since 2003, and this kind of treatment is unacceptable. If I am forced to start using a different program to create my website I will no longer pay a company like Yahoo to host it. They need to remove the “Small Business” from the name of their service, because small business needs reliability from it’s suppliers, and Yahoo‘s web hosting service is too full of problems and poor service. It’s clear that our choices are to wait for some one at the amateur Yahoo Small Business service to get around to fixing this problem, or move our sites to a professional hosting provider. I know my patience is running out!
I probably should not be surprised by what a mess Yahoo Small Business is. Just take a look at the search engine. I could never understand why Yahoo doesn’t understand why Google is more successful. It’s not because a Google search returns better results than Yahoo. It’s because Yahoo.com looks more like CNN.com than a search engine. When I want to search for something I like the simple straight forward approach that Google offers. If I want to read the news I will go to CNN. Yahoo should have picked one long ago, either a search engine or a news provider but not both. As for returning poor search results, that would MSN’s problem (or Bing or what ever they are calling it now). If Yahoo dumped all news, annoying links and other clutter I would chose it over Google any day, and I bet I’m not the only one.

I had the exact same problem. I ended up switching to a different hosting company after I got no response from yahoo to resolve my issues, and they made a simple task so difficult when I tried to change DNS settings for my domain from yahoo to the new host I conveniently got an “error” and “try again later” message.
I know you’re feeling let down by yahoo after being with them for so long, but to be honest, make it your business decision to move on to something better.
Here’s the hosting company I found:
www.tastyhost.com
Their rates are very low, their tech support is excellent, and above all, I like that security is their main concern. At least for me, I know trusting a company with my site means a lot. I need to know the time I’ve invested to my site will not be taken lightly, as it did with yahoo (it’s strictly business…I still like yahoo)
Laura asks…
Can I publish Yahoo Site Builder using non Yahoo Web Hosting?
I want to Publish a Yahoo Site Builder website and I don’t want to use Yahoo‘s hosting as there is other hostings cheaper etc.
Is this possible? Or have I just made a large site for nothing!
thanks in advance
admin answers:
I’m afraid you cannot publish the yahoo site builder directly to another web hosting, but after you published the website to yahoo account, you could download the website files and upload it to another webhosting to take a try
Good Luck!

George asks…
Can yahoo web hosting support more than one domain name?
Can I manage more than one domain name with only one yahoo web hosting account?
Example: Can I manage awsssome.com, wdfef.net, asfagfa.com with only one YAHOO WEB HOSTING account?
admin answers:
Well , there is hostgator , google host yahoo and godaddy.
But the most recommended and best web host so far is www.NetworkJuiceHosting.com ; Network Juice.
They now offer plans starting around $0.99 for a great amount of diskspace plus everything else unlimited. Plus they’ve manage to keep up 99% Uptime.
They have all features such as PHP5, Cpanel , Fantastico , Cron Job , Apache ,Unlimited Dadabase , ftp accounts and much more.
There are other affordable plans as well in NetworkJuiceHosting.com.
Hostgator.com is also a great host , but there Uptime time is not so good. Also , customer service is very poor.
Google.com not so sure , But i know there’s lots of files they do not support , no Cpanel , and i don’t know how come , but they have been receiving downtimes lately in their host servers.
Yahoo , let me just say it’s the worst web host ever , you can’t even host the amount of domains you want to host . Including FatCow.com. The downtown time is way to much , and many files are un-compatible in fatcow for some reason.
To buy a domain , the most recommended site is godaddy , but not for it’s hosting!! I Tell you !!!.
For a Great Affordable web host with maximum features , the most recommended web host is www.NetworkJuiceHosting.com . ; Network Juice Hosting.
You are getting your answers from an expert , and yes I have tried all these web host.
That’s all I got to say mate 😉
