Yahoo Hosting Sucks!

I’ve had enough of Yahoo Hosting. I’ve been with them since 2005 since I first started this blog. Before, everything was all dandy and though you’re paying a premium price, it wasn’t that high as compared to other hosting services. Then, the minimum for a monthly host would be USD8.00. I chose Yahoo Hosting before as they provided auto install of MovableType which was good then. The probelm is that they never did auto-update the installation although when I was signing up, they were promoting that they would do the updates automatically. After 5 years, I’m still stuck with my old version of MovableType. And just months ago, they decided to drop support for MovableType and use WordPress.You also don’t get redirection, no .htaccess, no multiple domain support, and more. Plus Tech support is a mess. Arghhh… I could go an on.

Aside from that, when everybody else lowered their prices for hosting along with the addition of features, Yahoo stayed the same and if not higher on the prices. I’ve been looking at JustHost, iPage and InMotion for hosting but would likely consider iPage since they support multiple Domain plus I’ve read a lot of good reviews about their service.

For my LifeontheSpot.com doamin, I’m currently transferring it to Namecheap. Hopefully, I won’t encounter any downtime with this.

I’m hoping I’d be able to keep my permalinks once I do get to transfer. I’ve been procrastinating about moving for a long while but I think it’s time so as to lessen my headaches with Yahoo.
