So Yahoo Small Business has started including Movable Type with their small business installations. This has got to be great for Six Apart (MT’s owner) and since I’m a huge MT fan and user you get to hear about it! This includes 5GB of disk space and 200GB a month of storage and a free domain name for $8.01 a month (this is 33% off for the first 6 months) including PHP, mySQL, fastCGI, Perl, MT updates and 24/7 phone support.
This offer is only through the end of this year. I’m not sure how many MT users this license includes…
Doesn’t Yahoo! already own some blogging site (other than Yahoo! 360)?
Hi Gary. We’re glad to hear that you’re a fan of Movable Type because we definitely share your passion.
We too are very excited about what Yahoo Small Business hosting will do for Movable Type users. Not only is this version of Movable Type dead simple to install and offers a hands free upgrade, but it’s blazing fast thanks to FastCGI. This really shows off what we can do when we work together with a particular web host to optimize the software for ease-of-use and performance in their environment.
Anyhow, the YahooSB MT license is a 5-user commerical license. It does not include access to our excellent tech support out of the box, but we will be offering subscriptions before or shortly after the start of the new year. If a 5-user license is too small for your needs, we’ll also be happy to work with you to find a license that offers you the right fit.
Just drop me a line if you have any questions and I’ll be happy to answer them or point you in the right direction.
Thanks again for your interest and for using Movable Type. We love to delight our users.
