I went with Yahoo because basically they couldn't stuff me around, y'know, steal money from my accounts, etc, because they were big and reputable. On that score, they've been good, but then I haven't pressed the boundaries much yet.

I haven't really had too many technical problems with them, my email program sometimes can't log on -- they're having problems they keep telling me -- but other than that pretty good. I rarely (once a month) FTP, but never been bounced. I don't get email bounce often, either.

However, the times I HAVE had to deal with customer service have been a little frightening. The people do their best, it seems, but... put it this way, I am just glad I have two email accounts! Email is about the only help resource (their help web sheets are useless unless you're a beginner). Their response seems to be too by the book. I had intermittant but repeat email connection woes, they requested my account details to connect and say "oh, it works now", which solves nothing. But then they're not interested in solving, it seems.

However, ultimately, why I will leave them will be because of their lack of features and their extortionate prices. No PHP, no MySQL, no subdomains, and seemingly no option to get any unless I sign up for a business account. And while $15/mth aint tooooo bad, I expect a lot from my hosts.

So, overall, decent reliability, poor support, high cost, poor features. I would recommend them only if you're new to the world of hosting.
