Yahoo is a single website with a combination of various products and services for webmasters, and if you’re very smart about what you’re doing and decide to embrace Yahoo you will end up benefiting a lot.

Yahoo offers various services including web hosting services, small business services, online store services and various other services for interested webmasters, and I’ve been able to leverage some of these services to make my midphase coupon blog a success.

We all know how important coupons can be whenever you want to purchase things online, and in this article I will be giving you a few tips on how to get Yahoo coupons online.

Use Google or Yahoo Search Engine

The first step you should take when trying to find any information or service online is to use a reliable search engine and this particular step can also be followed when you’re looking for coupons to use with Yahoo services.

It can be almost impossible to give you a single coupon for all Yahoo products and services you want to use since there are different coupons for different products, but the good news is that there are various people online who have had success with one or more of these coupons, and as a result have listed it for others to use online.

A single Google search with “(name of product) coupon” will bring you endless streams of coupon sources. For example, searching for “Yahoo web hosting coupon” in Google or Yahoo will provide you with thousands of different sites to choose your coupon from.

Another approach you can take to help you get coupons for any Yahoo product online is to make use of top coupon sites. There are a lot of websites online that focus on giving you coupons for various products, and some of these coupons are contributed by users and tested by users, thereby ensuring the coupons you get are always active. The problem, however, is with knowing which coupon site works and which one doesn’t. Below are two coupon sites you can get your Yahoo coupons from right away.

1. RetailMeNot: Retailmenot.com is currently one of the biggest coupon sites online, and with various coupons for over 130,000 stores, you will sure be able to find something that works for you. I have linked Retailmenot to its Yahoo coupon page, so if you’re looking for some cool coupons to give you a variety of discounts for your Yahoo web hosting deals you can check it out.

2. DomainPromoCodes: This is another top coupon site that offers coupons for some of the biggest websites and services online, and it doesn’t matter whether you want coupons for Yahoo web hosting or Yahoo webmaster solutions, you’re sure to find them handy.

Yahoo has a lot of quality products webmasters and online business owners will want to use, and the above are some of the top ways to get Yahoo coupons online for free.

John is always on the lookout for ways to get special coupons for products online, and he has a special Yahoo small business domain coupon for anybody interested. He specializes in reviewing various products on his blog and giving people coupons and discount offers for products like Yahoo web hosting and midphase.

He want to have full control on the server instead of rent a web space.

Every domain name need a DNS server of the Web Hosting. In this case, my brother do not have a fix ip line so have to use dynamic IP address.

Set Up Dynamic IP Hosting

To set up private hosting with dynamic IP, DynDNS service is the easiest way. After register a free account, you’ll need to buy 2 products/services: Domain Name (.com,.org,.net) and Custom DNS.

Its domain name more expensive than others, $15 USD for one. The Custom DNS is far expensive than domain name, $27.5 for a year. Anyway, we got $5 USD discount and pay off total of $37.5 USD. However, there are other hosting providers that offer free domain names as part of their package.

For long term, it is cheaper but make sure you have backup plan on Data, Internet Connection, and Server.

Set Up Router DDNS

Once done, you’re ready to set up DDNS on router. Most newer router should have DDNS feature build-in. Put in information accordingly: host (newly bought domain name),username, password, etc. Recommend to restart router and it should work within 10 minutes.

To test functionality, open a command prompt, enter command “ping yourdomain.com”. It is work if have reply.

Set Up Virtual Server

Virtual Server is the service that you want to open for public. Also available in most router.

The basic setting is open up port 80 (http port) and point to your local web server ip address with port 80. It might vary depends on your custom port.

My Two Cents

Yeah! You’re now hosting your private web server with unlimited bandwidth, storage, CPU and RAM at ONLY $37.5 USD a year. It is too cheap!

Of course, you have to backup, backup and backup. Make sure your Internet line, server, data are safe at all time. Unless you are confident or don’t go for this.

PS: Contact me if you need CHEAP domain name. Or get FREE web hosting here.

Back in year 1998, never heard of BlogSpot. Still remember my first free Website at Geocities during college time. It was a famous Website provider.

Geocities Close down

Yahoo! bought over Geocities in year 1999. Yahoo! quietly announced Geocities will close later this year. Perhaps after this summer.

More details will be send out to Geocities account owner this coming summer.

Yahoo! Offer Another Free Hosting?

No, Yahoo! does not offer another free hosting service. Instead it recommend you to subscribe the paid Yahoo! Web Hosting service.

My Two Cents

Is a sad news to close down such free Web hosting service after 15 years since 1994. Yahoo! has no more money to operate the service?

Recommend to migrate out from Geocities if you have one. You may want to contact me for cheap Web Hosting service.

Many blogger just ignore it or not really understand how. All these reasons stop blogger to get their own website name.

In my opinion, I think money investment is the first reason. Second is don’t know how to maintain.

How to Get Free Website ?

Yes. It is free to get your own domain name (.com) and web hosting. Of course it is only free for serious blogger.

HyperWebEnable is the first company that provide really free domain name and web hosting I came across. Any other provide the same service? Please let me know in comment. Request a free website for yourself while it is still available.

If approved, you get a domain name of your choice (eg: abc.com), 1GB web hosting space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited emails account, script of your choice (eg: blog, forum) and no hidden fee. You can even monetize your website to make money!

Will I Get a Free Website ?

No, I won’t. Since it is free, the service provider require to offer ads on your website. And the domain name is registered under HyperWebEnable. This mean they hold the control for your website content.

I rather invest few bucks for a new domain name because I already have web hosting. Also, I feel free to own full control over my websites, including ads and scripts.

Anyway, it is still a good offer for those interest blogger! All the Best. ;)

I would say it is a terrible experience. My sister has a Chinese life blog. She asked for help and I promised to migrate for her.

The orignal blog is on free BlogSpot. As I suggested, better go for own domain name and web hosting if you are serious blogger. She did and need to migrate all post and comment to new housing.

Migrate BlogSpot to WordPress

I tried to use the Import Blogger function in WordPress manage but failed. It prompt connection error due when accessing to Google HTTPS secure session. Lots of people face the same problem when migrate from BlogSpot (or Blogger.com) to WordPress. I’m using WordPress 2.6.1, not sure other version.

After some research, found a workaround to migrate BlogSpot’s blog.

  1. Register a free blog at wordpress.com
  2. Import BlogSpot (Blogger.com) posts and comments using Import Blogger feature.
  3. Export Blog posts and comments from wordpress.com (as .xml in WXR format)
  4. In your own WordPress web host, import “WordPress” in WXR format (the exported .xml file)
  5. Done!

Theorically, it should work perfectly. After ask for author name mapping, all 167 posts migrated successfully. Anyhow, in my case it stop after import 7 comments. I retry a few times but failed too. Categories are migrated correctly too, but not Tags.

My two cents

I consider this is about 70% success migration with comments loss. Anyway, my sister still quite satisfied with the result as long as her posts are there. Hope she pick up and use to WordPress soon. Welcome to the WordPress blogging world! ;)

For me, it’s really a nightmare to migrate out from BlogSpot. Slow, tedious, imcomplete! Don’t ever use BlogSpot if you are serious blogger. Register a domain name with me and subscribe to Free web hosting if you are just hobby blogger.
