Yahoo Offers All-You-Can-Eat Storage and Bandwidth
Lucas123 writes "Yahoo this week opened up a new monthly Web Hosting service for small and medium sized businesses that allows unlimited hosted storage capacity and bandwidth for $11.95 a month. Yahoo had been charging $12 a month for 5GB of disk space and 200GB of bandwidth; $20 a month for 10GB disk space and 400GB of bandwidth; and $40 for 20GB disk space and 500GB bandwidth.."
Hey Slashdot admins, are you moving over to Yahoo? I bet that'd cut back on your hosting costs by quite a bit. That'd also be a great test of how truly unlimited it is.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it does.

3 months later, an upset Yahoo Exec was overheard saying,
Tis no man, tis a remorseless eating machine.
Out of modpoints but really liked a post? 1BDkF6TtmmeZ3yqXbz9yhdYVqRYnwFoXDj
Somebody sign up, throw up a few DVD ISOs, and link to them from Slashdot. We'll soon see how "unlimited" it is...
You could copy files you have already uploaded. EDIT: dang just found out it's a vista server. So, nevermind, that would be even slower.
LIES LIES LIES....
everyone knows that there's no edit button on slashdot
I just want 1 bit and 10 tera-bytes of bandwidth. I'm working on a new distribution system

No, you've got it all wrong. You're going to get unlimited storage and data transfer, at very high speeds. Unfortunately, all your pages will be modified in real time to include a nice little header: "Yahoo Hosting: Powered By Microsoft!!!"
512 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, 200 GB transfer, five datacenters. $19.95/month.
heh.
Oh, your going to buy us? thats great, here's the keys. BTW, we have ten million people using unlimited bandwidth and storage. Good luck.
The next day every geek int he land is putting up and pulling off 10s of gigs of files.

Put all of your data in plain text "configuration" files encoded into base64 and accessed via php scripts ;)
C'mon, they are just trying to help you to be more efficient on CPU and RAM resources.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
What do you think they're building all those shiny new datacenters for? Heating? When I need to warm up my apartment, I just pull a 500Gb drive for a moment and then put it back in and warm up while my RAID 5 rebuilds.
If I mod you up, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with what you've said, sorry.
Looks like we just solved W3C's problem.
