Several years back I used yahoo (Geocities) to host a site. The service was good and there was no downtime that I noticed, But there cpanel wasnt very functional and was hard to use. I ended up up switching to a host that offered cpanel and didnt regret it. But my experience was in 2000-2001, they might have updated their pricing and control panel by now.
Previously you would have to go for a business account with yahoo if you did not want to many limitations, mysql/php/htaccess. It looks like they have renamed all the accounts since.
you wouldn't get any control panel like cpanel or DA. You will get a simple file manager to upload and also a ftp account. But it is great that you will get a good uptime certainly And also a cheap hosting on a small rate.
it kinda depends on what you are going to do on your site. are you going to make a big forum with heaps of people visiting at once or are you looking for reliability for a business website?
it depends on what you need and what you plan on making for your website.
I would rather stick with the smaller, more "individual" hosting, as to where I don't feel like I'm in a huge pool of customers, and if I cancelled, it really wouldn't matter. Yahoo is just too big, and it would feel as if they would take forever as far as getting a hosting matter resolved.
