Hosting with Media Temple vs. YVOD

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

YVOD is happy to work with clients who do not use us for hosting. Some of our smaller clients choose to host with GoDaddy and other cheaper solutions. If any of our clients want to use MediaTemple for hosting, we are happy to migrate them over there.

We create solutions that work for our clients. For example, a few of our clients use Postini for email. We recommend Postini to anyone who has critical email requirements that may not be satisfied with YVOD’s offerings.

YVOD does not compete on hosting alone, however. We offer a complete service. Call one number • (800) 434-YVOD • and we will work with you to get all of

The first one is Save and Continue Editing. This one allows you to save your post periodically. You should click this button if you spending more than a few minutes composing a post as you would not want to lose any information should your browser crash.

The next button is the Save button and it simply saves your post as a draft for you to work on later.

Both of these buttons do NOT publish your post onto your website. They only save your information in draft for for
