Choosing web services can be a tricky for both novices and experts; the variety of choices and features can be overwhelming and pricing confusing. So when I find a web service that is truly excellent I enjoy sharing it with others.
Dreamhost is a web-hosting service that is excellent in my opinion. No matter what your hosting needs are, Dreamhost offers a comprehensive feature set including: multiple domain and registration support, a free domain registration, subversion/cvs, webDAV, unlimited mysql databases, php 4 and 5, perl, ruby, ruby on rails pre-installed, jabber, and many one click preconfigured applications such as wordpress, media wiki, phpBB, and more. A comprehensive feature set for an extremely competitive price (starting at under $10/month) makes for an attractive deal.Dreamhost is also very community spirited. They are big supporters of FOSS; they host
helpful community wiki’s and forums for support (in addition to more traditional support);
they keep their status blog up to date…which basically is telling you all the problems and interruptions to service that effect you specifically, plus they recently went completely green which you can read about here if you are interested. It is a young, fun and dynamic company to be a part of and because of their community spirit you really do feel like a part of the gang.
Personally, I like having all my services under one account rather than spread out across the internet. I have four domains and domain registrations in my Dreamhost account currently and I know that as my needs grow, my account can grow to meet them. Plus they make it easy…and fun.
They also offer interesting referrer benefits and donation options. For everyone –say you
– a member — for example me — refers to Dreamhost, I can get a one time referrer’s bonus of $97 or I can choose to receive 10% of your services fees forever (and 5% of all secondary referrals). You can read more about the program here.
So if you feel like this page has helped you find a useful service, please consider using this link to sign up which will send a referrer’s bonus my way. Alternatively, you can help me pay for my hosting fees and services by donating here (or using the donation button below). The money you donate through this link can only be used toward my hosting fees and service. Be confident in the knowledge that your donations are helping make this website a reality in a much more direct way than beer does.
