ChevronX Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Whats up with Dreamhost? I have been looking into webhosting and I looked at Dreamhost, however I believe that it is too good to be true, I mean, all the space etc is cheap, one of the cheapest I have seen, the price of the webhosting, even converted to New Zealand dollars it is cheaper then any hosting I have seen, even for like 1 gig of space.

Sparda Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 They have awsome deals? You know you have a good hosting service when Darren says it is awsome :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 There dedicated server deals isnt the best though. For the price you pay for that you dont even get root access to your server. Not mention the fact that your database is still in a shared environment. But i do like the managed hosting deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The official dreamhost blog had an entry on why they can offer so much bandwidth/disk space once, and the guys over there have their heads on right. the account is worth it for the monthly newsletter alone. they guys seem to be hackers in the sense like us. as for torrents, we ran out torrent server on dreamhost for the longest time, but could never figure out how to get download numbers from them so we switched to using several libsyn accounts to power the direct downloads.

gbjazzman Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I use dreamhost and I'm quite happy with them. The one click installs, if you're into that, makes things easy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
