Yahoo to Offer Blogs to Businesses

Yahoo and Web log software maker Six Apart announced Monday that they are joining forces to offer blogging solutions for Yahoo's small business customers. Six Apart has created a specialized version of Movable Type for Yahoo. Each account will offer up to 200GB of transfer per month with up to 5GB of space. Yahoo will also provide 24-hour customer support, as well as 200 e-mail addresses and spam protection.

Service options will begin at $11.95 USD per month and would be an extension to the hosting packages that Yahoo already offers. "Yahoo! has created a best-in-class hosting solution for bloggers, and by integrating it with Six Apart's leading Movable Type software, we offer users a flexible, easy-to-use blogging product with unparalleled scalability," Rich Riley, vice president and general manager of Yahoo Small Business, said in a statement.
