LONDON, May 21 (Reuters) - Shares in British Internet services company VirtualInternet.net Plc rocketed 42 pence, or 17.7 percent, within minutes after it announced a partnership deal with Internet gateway company Yahoo Inc <YHOO.O>. The agreement allows VirtualInternet to promote their services, including domain name registration, web site hosting and electronic commerce applications, exclusively through the Yahoo! email service and on a number of Yahoo! Web site channels in the UK and France. VirtualInternet has similar partnerships with AOL and CompuServe in Europe. "Our partnership with Yahoo! will give Virtual Internet access to thousands of new internet users who are coming online for the first time through Yahoo's free ISP service," Jason Drummond, Virtual Internet's chief executive, said.
