sorry dave, i am 101.015% sure that yahoo don't offer anything like that.
i would advise www.google.com and search there
My mother would like for me to design a web site for the family to access and communicate long distances. I was thinking about perhaps having more of an private online community where each family member can log in and perhaps chat online, leave messages on bulliten boards, read news updates, play games, etc.
Would yahoo offer something like that? I am a graphic design student, so designing the site is no problem. I have design a site http://www.ronniesaini.com. I just need a web hosting site to allow my to do so.
Examples of online communities: Blackplanet.com, Myspace.com, etc...
