"Yahoo on Monday will launch a new Web hosting service that will target small businesses looking to promote themselves online. Called Yahoo Web Hosting, the product packages tools and services to allow small businesses have a Web presence. All subscribers will get 24-7 customer service, domain name registration, a business version of Yahoo Mail, access to Yahoo's e-commerce storefronts and the ability to be promoted on Yahoo. Subscribers also get Web site publishing tools, design templates for different types of businesses, PHP scripting and MySQL database services."

I am not sure how reliable this is going to be. I am not sure if anyone else plays games or anything on yahoo, but at times it seems to get overloaded with the traffic that goes through it.

This to me is a good indication of how their web hosting services will be.

Just something to look out for.

Any idea how the price will compete?
