Cannot access yahoo hosted web site from China?

We use yahoo small business's web hosting product. Just realized that the web site hosted by yahoo small business cannot be accessed from China. It seems the web-site is blocked by Chinese government. Does that mean if we want to do business with customers in China, we should NOT choose Yahoo's web-hosting solution? Any suggestion is appreciated.

1. Hi, I am afraid there is no way Yahoo! can control the web sites blocked by sovereign nations. So check for other hosting providers.
2. China is not the free country the rest of us are so far...they only allow sites they control
3. China i a Communist country so the governments got the power =P
4. You can try proxy servers to reach yahoo. you can see them at http://freewebmasterforum.com or Search for proxy at yahoo
5. It is probably the specific IP of the server your site is hosted on that is blocked, if you could get Yahoo! small biz to move your site to another server that could help. Your other options are to move to another hosting company altogether, or even host your site in China if most of your site audience is actually from there. Check out the following blog to learn more about ways to keep your site unblocked in China: http://blog.sinohosting.net/keeping-your-website-unblocked-in-china/ For proxy solutions I recommend http://www.proxy4china.com ; however you obviously can't ask from your customers to visit your site through a proxy so getting your site unblocked should be your work.
