I just got the February Newsletter from Yahoo! announcing their new commission changes, and I was particularily excited by one package change they had within.
Meet the New Yahoo! Web Hosting
Change to Program Term!
We are excited to announce that Yahoo! Web Hosting has launched a new service offering that gives small businesses unlimited room to grow online for one low price. It’s the first “unlimited” offer of its kind in the shared hosting space, and it creates a simple, easy path for small business owners to launch and grow their businesses online.
Yahoo! will no longer offer three web hosting plans, and instead will offer one plan, called Yahoo! Web Hosting, to all new customers. The new plan includes:
- Unlimited disk space, which allows users to build as many web pages as they want
- Unlimited data transfer, which allows users to support as many visitors as they want
- Unlimited email storage
- 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee, which allows customers to cancel their service within 30 days of sign-up.
- 1,000 email addresses
Yahoo! Web Hosting is priced at $11.95 per month, and requires a minimum 3-month term, which is paid in full upfront and which is automatically renewed each period. We will be discontinuing the 35% offer for Web Hosting as conversion for the product should increase with the new unlimited features.
We have added new creative and landing pages to the Yahoo! Link Library within Commission Junction featuring the new unlimited service.
What!!! Unlimited storage!? Unlimited Bandwidth!? Yahoo! seems to be going bold with Microsoft’s offer chasing them down. This, I think, is an amazing move for Yahoo! to make, and one choice that will make them very wealthy. Unfortunatly, the commission from this program seems to have been stopped, which would have made me rich (if I had 25,000 more subscribers). I am going to look into this package, and maybe make the switch, even though I don’t even use 5% of the space for my web hosting package. Could be very interesting to see what comes out of this though! Any thoughts on this move?
