On domains and hosting
Aug. 16th, 2007 11:42 pmThose of you that have a separate site where you archive your work, what hosting service do you use? I'm looking at the Yahoo! Small Business Starter Package. It has everything I want, more space than I'd ever need and looks to be reasonably cheap despite the difficulties I'm having in finding what the hell the price will be after the first 2 months. I'm a bit concerned about these pieces of their TOS though:
"Yahoo! does not claim ownership of the Content You place on Your Service.

You also grant Yahoo! the right to maintain such content on Yahoo!'s servers during the term of these Terms and to authorize the downloading and printing of such material, or any portion thereof, by end-users for their personal use.

"Prohibited uses ... upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable."
"Yahoo! may terminate these Terms at any time upon notice to You.

Policy."
Any thoughts?
