How ever yahoo being using the same infra structure as that of their search engines the stability and uptime is unmatched. Also the email feature which is clubbed to the yahoo email services provides more flexibility over email usage and delivery.

Reliability and Performance
Yahoo can be most reliable performer in the internet space. Thanks to their massive back bone servers powered with cutting edge technology which they update regularly. One does not have to be worried much about the uptime as there remains a redundancy factor associated with their network. So if one server goes down for some reasons your site still performs from a different location. Their hosting network is closely associated to the well acclaimed search engine. So a complete outage is near to impossible. Yahoo has very efficient technical staff monitoring the usages at their data centre 24 hours. So a fear of the network going down is un called for.

Value for Money
Going by the value yahoo is always found at the higher end of the spectrum. The service offered by them is yet to be competitive to the other players in the shared hosting spectrum. What adds value to the package is their highly secure infrastructure which unlike other providers Yahoo won’t reveal. This provides for the high security by stopping possible intrusion attempts.
