Hosting for Websites/Blogs? - Page 2

soon_to_blog · 04-02-2008, 08:42 AM

I have been with dreamhost for a few years. I love them. They have had some downtime issues in the past, but have been very good lately. I only host a blog and a personal web page; my income is not tied to my online presence. That is something to think about.

Also, they have a lot of one-click installs and I am very happy with their wordpress support.

Some people also like the dreamhost affiliate program (I haven't really made use of that though).

I also use Dreamhost, which works well for me as well. My only complaint is that their statistics program is just awful.

Amy,

I'd recommend Dreamhost. I've been with them for over 2 years now (and still am) and I am very happy with their service. They provide loads of stuff for a very reasonable price.

SSH access, unlimited ftp & email accounts, 1 free domain (incl. WHOIS privacy), one click installer for many applications including Wordpress ... there's lots. Check out their offering here.

Also, their affiliate system is cool where they pay you a referral fee for every new customer you bring them. The maximum discount that a new customer can get is $50.

If you use my promo code ORANGE50 during the sign up process you will get $50 off your hosting package.

Hope this helps and all the best for your new site.

Cheers,
Austin

I like HostGator.com, Hostnine.com, and so far Namecheap.com for hosting.

Can you use Google Adsense ads on these?

I have had great success with blogspot.

Wow, looks like dreamhost is the winner so far. Has anyone used it in conjunction with Drupal? I'm wavering between Wordpress and a flat out CMS like Drupal or possibly expression engine.

P.S. Thanks for the promo code, Austin
