Wordpress scores Yahoo hosting deal
Matt Mullenweg announces Wordpress hosting on Yahoo. Yahoo’s informative page on the deal shows an $8/month introductory price, which includes automatic upgrades of Wordpress, 200 GB/month of data transfer, and 5 GB storage. Quite an attractive package, and quite a boon for Wordpress. The deal comes days after Movable Type’s similar deal with Yahoo.
Cute, the URLs for Yahoo hosting with MT (http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/problog.php) and Yahoo hosting with WP (http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/problogs.php) differ by one letter, and the pages differ by about six words. I hope Yahoo did a thorough find-and-replace on the contracts. Geez, wouldn’t that be an embarrassing slip?
