Chose Yola
How Yola stacks up against them? I think the question is best phrased:
'How do these stack up against Yola?' That's just it, in my opinion, they don't. In fact, Yola's in a class by itself.
Chose Yola
Yola is much easier and less costly than GoDaddy when it comes to total website setup. GoDaddy's lure is the $.01 setup if you buy 3 years. But then GoDaddy fails miserably when you look at total cost of owning and managing a website.
Chose Yola
Yola exceeds ease of use above the others

Yola is great for a more static approach to building websites. Building dynamic applications is possible because of HTML, but oftentimes harder to accomplish.

Well. I rated Yola '10' because I couldn't rate it '10+.' For me it scores more than a '10.' I'm COMPLETELY satisfied. But not just with Yola, but with it's staff. Great people.
