a jolly old hosting service, powering millions of websites of the average human being of the age group frome 10 to 100 years.

The third most popular website at the time, only behind Yahoo! and AOL at the time (Google hadn't appeared yet) and the most popular hosting

service, powering websites on everything from pets to cars to agriculture to architecture to art to hacking. 

Now comes along the tech supergiant Yahoo!
