It seems like just a few days ago when we announced Movable Type on Yahoo! Web Hosting. Understandably, lots of folks asked for WordPress support. Luckily, Matt and the hosting folks have been busy.

Sign up now and get:

  • 33% off the monthly price for the first six months, and the setup fee is waived
  • Free domain name
  • 200GB data transfer per month
  • Support for up to 1 million page views per day**
  • 5GB disk space for your posts, graphics, and more
  • Support for PHP, Perl, and MySQL
  • 24-hour toll-free phone support

Enjoy. It's been in the works for quite a while now. :-)

24/7 free phone support for MySQL? :) Does it include performance tuning? :) (I think not - is probably only Wordpress support)

When does LiveJournal codebase hosting arrive, with it's nice support for viewer access controls? :)

MediaWiki? :)

(I wouldn't use it - the TOS blocks too much legitimate content, like much foreign policy discussion.)

Nice move. :)

is there support for hosting 168,000 spam articles in order to game Google's Adsense?

I'd use Yahoo webhosting (again) in a heartbeat, if only Yahoo! would allow more than one domain per account. Only allowing one domain per account is ridiculous -- particularly for folks who have multiple domains that don't get a lot of traffic.

You can have multiple domains on an account, last I checked.

Jeremy, this is great news. Still waiting to hear back from the hosting team on whether this solution will work for b5's needs. I'd love it if it did :)

There is starting to be a run of people making comments who have the first name Jeremy. So now I am worried that the box that say's:

"Jeremy's first name (required)"

means you have to *have* Jeremy as a first name, not just type it in!

I am now Jeremy Oschler. I have been assimilated.

Sounds great! If only Yahoo customer care would actually become capable of answering a simple question about it :-) (For reference: http://weblogs.asp.net/jvdbos/archive/2005/12/20/433594.aspx)

That's a ridiculous amount of B/W and space for cheap.

I'll have to check on that, then. I used to use Yahoo webhosting, and was told, flat out, that you would have to have additional accounts for each domain. This was more than a year ago, so maybe it's changed.

It's cool.

A little bit to me, in China, we can not visit the sites hosted in Yahoo!
