There are many advantages if you decide to sign up with Yahoo! Web Hosting and create your own guild
website. We will list all the advantages and excellent tools that Yahoo! Web Hosting provides.
- Yahoo! Web Hosting comes with a FREE Domain Name Registration. If you want to learn more
about what Domain registration can do for your guild, read here. But basically, it allows you to create
a unique website name for your guild.
- Yahoo! Web Hosting allows you to create a detailed and complex website filled with audio, video, and
imported graphics without the need for HTML/Java/Flash knowledge. All you need to know is copy,
cut and paste. Read more here to learn what the FREE Yahoo! SiteBuilder program can do for you
when you sign up with Yahoo! Web Hosting. No more learning complicated Microsoft FrontPage or
Dreamweaver. And no more cheap and limited MySpace.com websites. This program will allow you
to create your own unique guild web page look from scratch or with 360+ free website templates.
- The Yahoo! Web Hosting Starter plan will start you out at 5GB of disk space. Now you can upload
all your artwork, photos, portraits, videos, audio clips, and more onto your site. No more relying on
third party web hosting sites for photo albums or videos. You are now in control. Its simple to upload
your files. Simply go to "My services", then "Web Hosting Control Panel" and then click on the
"Manage" tab. There you will see "File Manager" which will allow you to upload and perform routine
functions such as deleting and renaming your files. For larger files, you can always FTP it. (Detailed
instructions on how to perform that are on the Yahoo! sites)
- By purchasing a hosting plan with Yahoo, you can create professional email address for yourself
and your guildmates. Now you can grant your members email in the format of
"membername@yourguildname.com". If you think about it, its much easier for someone to contact
you if your email address is also easier to remember. (ie: officers@doomsupremacy.com)
- If you don't like Yahoo! Sitebuilder or its templates, you can still use many of Yahoo's website
templates or incorporate it by using third party programs such as Microsoft Front Page or Adobe
Dreamweaver
- You can also create your own Blog for FREE. Establish a Guild Blog for all to see.
- It has advance scripting and database tools (like PHP, Perl, and MySQL). For a person not
knowledgeable in website design, you will probably not use it much. But for those who are willing to
learn, you will find that this allows you to create new types of fantastic dynamic web pages including
the popular phpBB forums that many website contain.

Furthermore, you want to pick a site that will keep everything secure!
