 * I signed up to Yahoo hosting today (as my first host) based on the recommendation
   of wordpress.org on their main site.
 * However I have been reading horror stories about how rubbish it is so I am not
   sure why they are being recommended.
 * Can anyone please let my mind at rest and tell me they are not as bad as reported?

 * sorry, but from a quick search here on the forums, and form reading threads, 
   Yahoo is not the greatest host for your WordPress installation .. but now, if
   you like your site being up and down and up and down again .. they are great 
   in those regards …
 * i personally suggest you go with another host provider.
 * my local hosting provider is just right down the road from my house and they 
   have fair prices and great support. never have experienced any down time and 
   for the price, you cannot beat it …
 * different markets support different prices for hosting and storage space, but
   for $50-$100 a year, they are not bad .. and they will even install the WordPress
   for you and help you out along the way … really great guys.

 * I think I have messed about with it too much today. They are a large hoster and
   I am sure not every customer is going to have problems.
    I think I will let it
   propagate, get my blog transferred and see how it goes for a month. Its only 
   $8 a month so I will not have lost much. If I have problems then I can easily
   switch. I don’t want to risk propagation problems when they have not even got
   it setup properly themselves yet.

 * I changed my mind. I cant be doing with problems. I am very new to this and dont
   want to run the risk of rubbish.
    The good thing is I have not transferred blog
   yet. I have cancelled Yahoo and will now look for a suitable alternative

 * Good for you – I just finished a yahoo install for another user – it was an hour
   long nightmare when it usually takes about 5 minutes. I have nothing good to 
   say about yahoo.

 * Thanks all for the help.
 * I have signed up with Compila.com they have been very helpful and I cant see 
   any obvious problems from users in the search engines. I have also seen it recommended
   by others on here.
    I think I made the right decision.
