 |
 | | Do we have to sign a contract?
You have to agree to our Terms
of Service, but you don't have to
sign up for a set period of time. You can cancel whenever you want.
|
|
|
| | What is the address of our site?
If your account name is acme, then you can find
your site at http://site.yahoo.com/acme.
|
|
|
| | Can we have www.ourname.com as our address?
Yes, many of our users do. Yahoo! Site makes it easy
to register your own domain name
(ourname.com), or transfer an existing one.
|
|
|
| | Do we have to know HTML?
No, you never see HTML. All you have to do to create a site is enter the text that you want
to appear on the pages. Of course, if you want to include HTML in the text that you type in, you can.
|
|
|
| | Can we change a site once we've created it?
You can update your site as often as you want, from any browser. Some of our users update
their sites several times a day.
|
|
|
| | Does our site have to look the same as all the others?
Far from it. You can generate a completely unique look for your site with one
button click. In Regular mode, you have complete control over the layout
as well.
|
|
|
| | How do we get the images into the site?
When you're editing your site, there will be an [Image] button at the bottom of each page. If
you click on that button, you'll be able to select an image on your local disk, and upload it right
onto the page.
What's more, Yahoo! Site will automatically create smaller "thumbnail" images for use in
section pages. You only need to upload one version of each image, and Yahoo! Site makes
the rest.
|
|
|
| | Can we get statistics about what is happening in our site?
You bet. Yahoo! Site's statistics are probably the most powerful you can get.
|
|
|
| | Do we need any special hardware or software to use Yahoo! Site?
You don't need anything more than you needed to read this page,
though if you're going to include images in your site (which we recommend), you may want a scanner
or digital camera.
The only software you need is an ordinary browser.
|
|
|
| | Will Yahoo! Site help us to bring traffic to our site?
Yes. Sites built with Yahoo! Site are designed for maximum visibility to search engines, and
we automatically submit your pages to all the major ones.
|
|
|
| | Will you list our site in the Yahoo! Directory?
Yahoo! Site users should submit their sites to the Yahoo! directory for
review. If your site is currently not listed and you have not submitted it
already, here's how to submit your site.
|
|
|
| | Do you host sites with adult content?
Sorry, no. See
our Terms of Service for details.
|
|
|
| | What is your policy about spam?
Sites that promote themselves by sending unsolicited email, or
spam, will be
shut down immediately. (It's a dumb thing to do anyway.)
|
|
|
| | What kind of network connection do you have?
Your site will have the same network connection as Yahoo! itself, multiple T3s direct to all the
major backbones. Yahoo!'s whole business depends on the quality of our network
connection. Now your business can share it.
