February 7, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Despite receiving an offer from Microsoft, it is business as usual for Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) who are now offering unlimited web hosting, it was announced yesterday. In what the company claim to be a “first for the web hosting industry”, Yahoo! Small Business will give “small businesses unlimited room to grow online”. The service now offers unlimited disk space, data transfer, and email storage space.
"Yahoo! understands that small business owners face a number of obstacles to success, and we don't think that the growth of their online presence should be one of them,” explained Yahoo!’s Director of Web Hosting Products, Guy Yalif. “By going unlimited, Yahoo! is freeing its customers to focus on growing their businesses and driving traffic to their sites, rather than calculating the costs of megabytes. Yahoo! has long been the trusted partner of choice for small businesses looking to launch or expand online. The new unlimited offer shows our ongoing commitment to driving value for small business owners, who are an important part of the ecosystem of partners that we're focused on serving."
The unlimited-service follows a range of enhancements to Yahoo!'s hosting solution. Alongside a free domain name, 1,000 personalized email accounts, live 24-7 toll-free customer support, and 30-day satisfaction guarantee, the service provides ‘easy-to-use’ website design tools. Yahoo! also automatically submits its customers' websites to key search engines.
