Yahoo Business Hosting tricked us

This information is specifically for customers who are planning to use yahoo for PAID Business Web Hosting. Yahoo is a good candidate for Business Web hosting. But they never tell you certain things in advance before you pay them for hosting. Things will be frustrating to you later.

The most important problem is that even with paid Business hosting, they will force the customers on the website to create a yahoo-id for every business user (who already have the same domain).

For example, if you have hosted a domain say "xxx.com" at yahoo. And if you want say 40 users (like user1@xx.com) with e-amail accounts for your company, yahoo will force you to create a yahoo-id (whether you like it or not) for each and everyone of the user-email account. And then you have to use the yahoo account for most of the administrative purposes and also have to put in all your personal details with their yahoo account. And it is frustrating for many to maintain a yahoo account for no reason when they should be using only their own business domain account.

I have not seen any domain hosting companies trick people like this.

Yahoo is trying to get valid e-mail addresses and personal details of such business users to serve their own purpose.

Demeaning!!!

So before you host web services with yahoo for your company, make sure you confirm that if they have changed their policy about such unnecessary yahoo e-mail accounts.

I have heard that yahoo did such stuff to geocitites users. But hey, its atleast a free service. But business users are paying for their service.
