After the luxury of running my own dedicated server which lasted for almost four years I'm shutting it down in days now; In the last month I had to work on my customers sites, my friends and my own sites to move them to another hosting company as I'm not anymore in this headache business.
I'm really happy with this move as I will not have to worry or to be contact of fifty customer who has the right to call you day and night and what makes me really happy is that at first I was afrain I will not be able to find a reliable shared hosting environment to move to but finally I transferred all accounts to dreamhost.com, they are really reliable, nice support and the greatest developer environment, with dreamhost you can host as many sites as you want, bandwidth and disk storage increases weekly and all of that for really reasonable price and great support team.
It shouldn't take more than five minutes to install WordPress with their Goodies auto installer, installing SVN, Jabber or even streaming media shouldn't take longer than that; it's very customizable hosting environment, some friends were happy to have their own php.ini on some shared hosting like TextDrive but with DreamHost you can install and customize your own PHP! yes you can do that and more
On the other hand they have very nice affiliation system, for example if you decided to sign up with them use
To be honest, this post isn't just to write about their affiliation system but to recommend it to anyone having trouble with his/her current hosting or want to have a better hosting environment.
I'm really happy to be with them and I thought it's good to share the experience.

ReplyDeleteOh man, an e-mail bounces and you get called at 1 in the mornin' I hear you. I've been on DH for the past year, I'm happy with it but the connectivity gets shaky from time to time for some outage reasons. Other than that, it's cool. Good move!
