Plans and Features
Yahoo used to offer 3 stages of web hosting plans, the Starter, Standard and Professional; however, these plans are no longer available to sign up to as Yahoo has combined all 3 into one super duper feature rich package. But don’t worry, anyone out there signed up to an old plan can easily upgrade to Yahoo’s new Small Business Web Hosting Plan.

This plan also packs a punch by offering you exclusive online marketing discounts and track success reports, which allow you to track the number of visitors to your site, find the addresses they came from, the keywords they used to find you and which search engine was used, useful stuff to know for any business wanting to broaden their market.
