DreamHost, amazing capabilities

I thought the hosting company I was with originally gave me a ton of options, but DreamHost, is absolutely brilliant. They wrote their own Control Panel, instead of using the pre-built cPanel software that many companies like to pay for, and they pretty much gave me full control over my portion of the server.

From setting up multiple accounts to login to the server and control each web site I host (likewise for MySQL), to defining how certain websites should run, be it PHP 4 or PHP 5.

Currently, I have no criticism for the company, other than their UI for the control panel, being a bit out-dated and the left navigation menus do not remember which ones were open from page to page (might want to consider turning that left navigation into a frame to prevent that — just a request).

Personally, I love how they setup the website directories when using SSH. I logged in, thinking I would fine public_html/ for my main site, and public_html/secondWebSite/ for my second hosted website, instead I find this: cpradio.org/ and secondWebSite/ both listed under the same root directory. AWESOME! I always hated having my hosted websites under my main directory, and they solved that beautifully.

DreamHost, keep up the good work, from what rumor has stated, it seems at the end of this month you will be unleashing numerous new features along with a network correction and though the network seems stable right now to me, I can’t wait to see what you turn out next.

Also, to show how much I really enjoy DreamHost, I had a promotion code created to give anyone 47 dollars off their year term or their two year term. Just enter “47OffThanksMatt” in the promotion code box, and you will automatically get 47 dollars off your total.
