For starters, I have a site built with Yahoo that I built a long time ago. It was my first site I ever built and at the time I did not know much at all about building sites so I used the Yahoo site building software that was supplied with my hosting. Big mistake… I wish I would have read up a little bit about web design before I started building the site with Yahoo site builder.

One of the problems I’m having now is that I want to build the site with a different site building software (Dreamweaver) and I cannot because the software is coded different and they are not compatible. It’s like Yahoo is going under so bad that they try to force people to stay with them once they sign up with them. Another example of this is there domains prices. When you first buy your domain with Yahoo they charge you $10 like everyone else. After your first year is up they raise the price to $35 and say that everyone is raising the price. This is not true. I now use GoDaddy for all my domains and they never raise the price on you. It almost seems like Yahoo is in so much trouble cause Google is kicking there a$$ that they have to do something to try and make up for it.

Another problem with Yahoo hosting is they do not support most PHP scripts. You can only use a small, very small, list of scripts they have.

Yes, this article is about my complaints cause I needed to vent but hopefully people will find this info and it will keep them from making the same mistake as I did. I just don’t understand how Yahoo thinks they can make these changes and expect to be a competitor at all. I used to have almost 20 domains with Yahoo and I had 2 hosting accounts and I have transferred them all and now only have one hosting plan with them still and I’m working on rebuilding the site with dreamweaver before I transfer the hosting.
