[SGVLUG] recommend a hosting provider

[Charles N Wyble]

NOOOOOO!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

Dreamhost has a massive history of problems. They are the classic example of
getting what you pay for. Avoid them at all costs.  Seriously. I know people
who work there.. Let's just say they aren't very competent.

I'd recommend dreamhost, hands down. I've worked with several hosting
providers over the past 6+ years... and I vote for dreamhost.
http://dreamhost.com/ - they're in LA, they rock, they give you SSH, tons of
space and bandwidth. Use this promo code: NOSIGNUPFEEAH - and you won't have
to pay the setup fee on the basic plan (purchase monthly). Read their unique
blog here: http://blog.dreamhost.com/. Enjoy :)

How small?  I've found one that is completely free, but has fairly low
limits (250 meg for your site, maybe a gig per month traffic...)
response time is so-so from the site (I've set up a Joomla site there to
show someone how it looks, and it takes some time to get pages rendered)
I think their target audience is developers who are creating "open
social" apps [facebook, myspace, google gadgets, etc]
