Problems with Aabaco Small Business Hosting after Yahoo Move

Around November 12 2015 the complaints started pouring in. Small business owners and other various webmasters have been unable to log in to their Yahoo Small Business dashboard, now called the Aabaco Small Business Dashboard.

The Yahoo login screen says that the name has changed but the team is the same. You would think there has been a seamless transaction that has taken place.

Unfortunately, this is where the problems begin.

Yahoo Small Business clients are having all kinds of problems, and Aabaco is not helping. So far I have heard:

Aabaco will not answer the phone
Aabaco says wait times are 30 minutes but actual wait times exceed 2 hours
Aabaco confirmation email will not go through
Unable to claim Aabaco Small Business Account
Confused that Aabaco login takes users to Luminate’s website
Unable to upload files to web hosting site
Unable to access web hosting site
Luminate will not answer email
Aabaco will not answer WordPress emails about problems
Terrible upload speeds
Repeatedly needing to log back in

Small business owners who also are looking to update their business listing in Yahoo are stuck dealing with this Yext problem.

Aabaco Small Business Hosting Alternatives

In the world of web hosting there are plenty of options. I offer a managed WordPress solution but it is usually overkill for what most people need and starts at $200/mo.

I do however recommend Bluehost (if you are looking for something under $5/month). Just so you know this is indeed an affiliate link, and, it is a great deal.
