About Yen 9 Yen 9 was born from the same inspiration and principles as was
Gentle Place Publishing. Gentle Place publishes inspirational short stories, music and other materials intended to empower.
Yen
9 aims to empower more people to find their voice on the web. Over the
past few years we have noticed that competing web hosts have increased
disk space and bandwidth but have for the most part left their prices
the same. With web hosting ranging from $ 5 to $ 20 a month and with
the cost of registering a domain running around $10 per year, most
organizations and small business need to pay well over $100 a year for a
web presence. For many individuals, small businesses and organizations
this is out of reach. Additionally there is often software to buy and
learn.
We are trying to facilitate web hosting by making it affordable and easy to use.
Why the name Yen 9 ? A "yen" is a yearning to do something -
in this
case a yearning to communicate to the world via the Internet in an
affordable manner. By affordable we mean both in terms of money and
time. Both are precious! And why the "9" ? It
is the largest single number and Yen 9 offers the most bang for the buck
on the Internet, the best value proposition - no ads, no tricks - just $1 per month (plus a one time set up fee of $10).
Our offices are located in Groveland, California; our servers are in Dallas, Texas.
