The good: Site-management tools are easy to use; includes GeoCities site-builder templates; offers site search and password protection; reasonable prices; free domain registration. The bad: Requires Yahoo membership; forwards all e-mail to Yahoo Mail accounts; mediocre server-response and download speeds; $15 setup fee with no money-back guarantee. The bottom line: Yahoo Web Hosting Business Starter offers simple, inexpensive hosting for your domain's Web site and e-mail--but it's slow. |

CNET review |
|
Ever the changeable beast, Yahoo recently launched Web hosting services aimed at slightly-more-than-casual individuals and small businesses. We reviewed Yahoo Web Hosting Business Starter, an $11.95-per-month service at the lowest tier of three packages (the others are Business Standard for $19.95 per month and Business Professional for $39.95 per month). If you're a fan of Yahoo's other services and you like GeoCities-style Web creation, try Business Starter; it offers easy Web building and a few perks, such as 10 different e-mail addresses and password-protected directories. But you'll get better performance and lower prices with DirectNIC or even Catalog.com. Those looking for true small-business hosting should consider Yahoo's $39.95 Business Professional package for better security, advanced Web building tools, and dedicated tech support.
