pages are hosted at
DreamHost.
They offer a lot of lot of storage space and unlimited domains
at
a very reasonable price, but as you can see in the table below they
aren't perfect either. A lot of people will tell you that DreamHost is
the best thing since sliced bread. Keep in mind that DreamHost has an
affiliate program and most of those people are motivated by a $97
referral payment. Here are Kevin's thoughts about DreamHost,
unbiased
by any affiliate payments:
| Good things about DreamHost | Bad things about DreamHost |
|---|
- Inexpensive
- Unlimited
domains
and subdomains
- Insanely large storage space (we
have 200GB)
- Insanely high bandwidth (we have 2.3
terabytes/month)
- Shell
access via SSH
- Employee-owned and privately held
- Very
transparent about their network
status
- One-click install of popular
packages such as Gallery
(photo album), WordPress
(blog), and phpBB
(forum).
- Carbon Neutral!
| - Passwords
you select are emailed to you in plain text
- Online
documentation (in Wiki)
is sometimes incomplete
- Lowest price plan has
support by email only, and replies can take 1-2 days (or more)
- Best
for people with experience in web hosting and don't mind figuring some
things out on their own; I wouldn't recommend DreamHost for novices
- Significant reliability problems; see the latest uptime
chart.
