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.

Except for the 24hour support, i can get MORE than what they're offering for free or at least for less money elsewhere.
