Read on to find out how you can save $50 when you sign up with Dreamhost today.

It’s time for you to get serious about your webhosting.

Free hosting and free blog services are good when you are just starting out. However, in order to get a great looking site that you have complete control over, you need to starting thinking about a hosting service. For $7.95 per month you can have the flexibility to advertise (or not!) how you want, and have your own branding such as a unique domain name (included for free with privacy protection when you sign up with Dreamhost) and favicon (the little icon in the URL bar). If you are more expert in web design, Dreamhost offers an amazing feature set that will appeal to you as well. Features such as:

• multiple domain and registration support
• ruby AND ruby on rails pre-installed
• subversion/cvs
• unlimited mysql databases
• php 4 and 5
• webDAV
• perl
• jabber

The administration panel you use to manage your Dreamhost account couldn’t be easier to use. It is not your standard cpanel…they wrote it themselves, and did a hell of a job with it. The one click installs section is particularly convenient as it will install applications such as wordpress, media wiki, phpBB, ecommerce apps and more with a single click.

Scalable services

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.

Irreverent Web Hosting?

In an industry that is known for being BORING, Dreamhost is such a delight to be a client of. Their company blog is truly one of the funniest blogs I read. They also send out hilarious newsletters monthly with updates on new features.

They also keep a very helpful status blog that documents all of the downtime and maintenance that is being done on the servers. It is helpful to know when your site may have had downtime and why. This kind of transparency in business really puts my mind at ease. Plus they recently went completely green which you can read about here if you are interested.

The community of Dreamhost customers also maintains forums and a wiki for technical support. I’ve found these to be very helpful when setting up things like rails and wordpress. There is a lot of support for open source software here and it’s a great community to be a part of.

Like I’ve been telling people for a while now, all the smart kids are at Dreamhost.

Referer Program

Dreamhost also has an amazing referal program that pays $97 for every referal you make. That’s a very decent chunk of change. There is also a donation program all the donated money gets applied directly to hosting costs. This way you’re readers know they are helping you out and not feeding your imported chocolate addiction…or something.
