Question by Dana S: What is better, Yahoo Small Business web hosting & E-mail or GoDaddy?
Starting a website and want the best bang for my buck. I’ve used Yahoo Small Business before and I liked the way it linked the email accounts to my existing yahoo email address, though from my research GoDaddy seems to have more tools/functions.

What are the pros and cons of Yahoo and GoDaddy? I will have alot of high res pictures and flash incorporated on my site.

Also, how does GoDaddy incorporate its email function. Do you have to log onto a server to get your mail or what?

Thanks!

I will straight out tell you this, GoDaddy is a poor web host as they are only good for domains.

In the over-crowded hosting market, it can be a daunting task to find a cheap and reliable company to host your website. All the companies promise stable service, but which ones are best for you and your needs? There are several different ways to find hosting that suits your budget but also provides great service. Let me answer your question by showing you what you need to know about finding good web hosting.

My suggestion is do not buy web hosting based on trust from what you see on the web hosts main page. There is nothing worse than spending all your time and effort building a great web site only to find out that your web host is down all the time or you have to wait an hour on hold just to get customer service on the line to help you fix a simple issue. Visit http://www.top15hosting.com and look through the independent and customer reviews. Look at the rankings of the top rated and do some comparison based on your needs. Do a little research before buying web hosting and you can avoid throwing your money away. The common mistake when looking for website hosting is to just quickly browse the web and find the cheapest web hosting company they can find.
