[SGVLUG] recommend a hosting provider

[John Lowry]

I have never had a bad time with Dreamhost, but I will say I do not have 
a site up that is mission critical. MediaTemple 
(http://www.mediatemple.net/) is another LA based web hosting company. 
They do some thing for Open Source Projects, such as free hosting.
