Yahoo! Small Business web hosting: 50% off the first three months

May 4th, 2010 - Posted by Kent

Yahoo! has just released a new discount for NextAdvisor users, raising the discount on the first three months of service from 35% to 50% off. Yahoo!'s web hosting is one of the best we tested. In fact, there's no web host we would guarantee more to the absolute beginner. If you've been on the fence, now is a good time to sign up. The offer expires on May 31st, 2010 (and usually Yahoo! does expire its offers).

No coupon is necessary. Just follow this link, or the "Go To Site" link from our reviews.

What mistakes should a person choosing a web host avoid? What are the benefits?

May 4th, 2010 - Posted by Kent

The following is an actual user-submitted question:

Q: What mistakes should a person choosing a web host avoid? What are the benefits?

A: When selecting a web host, the biggest mistake anyone can make is choosing a web host that doesn't suit their needs. Price is an important consideration for most people, but features and technical performance should be taken into account as well. For instance, if you plan on building your site using the web host's own site builder, you should be sure the site builder is well rated. You should also be aware that some web hosts are more reliable than others (something called "up time"). Also, some web hosts handle data better than others, so if you want your web host to handle large graphic files, look for one that does well in data download tests (lower numbers are better).

Fortunately, we cover all these things in our two web host comparison charts, and in our reviews. The web hosting report card covers all the areas described above, while our main web hosting comparison chart goes over price and plan features. The reviews give a good indication of the overall customer experience.

There are many extras that web hosts provide including domain privacy, free domain registration, money-back guarantees. Some offer free virus scans, back-ups, and multiple domain registrations.
