Yahoo Geocites, I have a company and I would like to sign up with Yahoo Geocites to do the web-hosting?

I found Yahoo is also offering cheap web-hosting service fee they will set up your company email addresses and website but how reliable is Yahoo?? What are the pros and cons of using Yahoo Geocites to host your email address and website?? I'm particularly cautious when it comes to receiving and sending out emails - is there a chance that since Yahoo will host my emails, will they be able to read my incoming and outgoing emails since they will probably keep a record of those in and out emails in their server. I'm a beginner when it comes to this whole internet thing so I don't know if I will be able to handle everything if I sign up with Yahoo considering I am from the HongKong and Yahoo is in the US

Hey there, I read your question thoroughly and I believe I have a friend who can help you with this. I talked to him about it and he said you can email him at hosting@hungrypage.com

Reply:The downside to using the free Geocitites is that they put Yahoo Ads on your sight unless you pay for the plus which is the next step up. The other downside is that your domain is not as privatized as you may want it. You won't get a www.yourname.com site. You'll get a www.geocities.com/yourname site.


I am currently using Yahoo small business and i have two domain names with them. I haven't had any problems yet and the best thing is that nothing goes on my site unless I want it there except you know the hosted by Yahoo at the bottom. Its all according to flexibility you want.


You can also check out Microsoft Office Live. They have the free sites thing. My friend has one. It looks great.

Yes, every hosting company can do that. So you can do much about that.

Definitely not an issue. You choose a hosting company that have a server neat your audience. That ways, it will be faster to the users then.
Reply:I have used Yahoo Small Business Web Hosting for several years with no major problems. Go to: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/ for answers to your questions or contact Yahoo customer service by phone. You can use a domain name you already have or get one from them. E-mail from any provider is not totally secure, if you send personal or sensitive information make sure its encrypted and use a secure connection.


Hope this helps
