Choices - Packages offer great choice and flexibility for your web hosting needs.

Why do we recommend the great web hosting packages of Yahoo Web Hosting?

Answer: We do get the above question asked us quite often and we must say it's because of the care
and services offered by Yahoo. The company has been doing what it takes to make sure you get all it
takes to make an exciting and wonderful web site if you so choose. The many things you can do with
Yahoo on your side is amazing.

Number One Products

The fact is that there are many ways to build a web site these days. You can use almost anything to get
a good looking web site or portal up and running. There are many challenges you and others need to
think about when planning, that's why we help design sites 1st. We place much in design and more on
the tools in the tool chest. Yahoo provides you with many good options. The one we like to see people
use is *Yahoo SiteBuilder(YSB - the latest versions are great).

Yahoo SiteBuilder - 'What's so great about it?'

We hear that question a lot too. And to that we answer with a list of the reasons why we think a site can

WHAT THE LOSS OR COST - LIKE GETTING BACK
ON THE HORSE THAT BUCKS YOU OFF & DID...

These features (listed to the left) are observations from
4 years of using Yahoo SiteBuilder (YSB) and we like it
very much. We do have a tale to tell and it's important to
us to share it.

Without going into great detail, we can say that we do
know this product really (too) well. We had difficulties
using it in a team manner in the beginning. We did not
know it had to be supported and loaded with XP when
we started, and we only had WIN98 back then. We had
very complex web sites where we started using it and
we tried FTP and other things we (assumed) though
would work. We found out the hard way on many things
and we suffered great losses after much frustration.

Later as the Version 1 evolved, we did dedicate a staff of
design and creative web masters to develop means by
which our investments and our time would not go to the
wind. We decided that if Yahoo was going to keep
working with this product so would we.

Our Disaster

On September 19, 2003, we wiped out our number 1
feed site after 5 weeks of experiments. In the weeks
before we wiped it out, we decided that the product was
stable and able to do the job we needed it to do. We
were wrong and lost over 5 years of hard work and
more income than we had to loose at the time. This
mistake almost killed the company and after the
disasters (in ads biz) our nation suffered in fall 2001,
we were at our wits end. We did study it more and by the
Thanksgiving holiday, made a decision to stick to it, no
matter what the cost. We dedicated team members to
shoot for the moon and laid others off. Without the big
feed site, we would stand to loose it all anyway, and we
took the losses hard. We are now embellishing an all
new plan and all new web business.
