Dreamhost to segregate adult sites - GoFuckYourself.com

Brujah · 03-30-2007, 09:43 PM

From recent newsletter:

3. The Most Popular Suggestion of the Last Two Months.

In order to rise above the rabble, one must differentiate and in a way,
segregate themselves from them. Only then can they attain true peace and
order in this turbulent Indian Ocean we call life.

It should really come as no surprise then that the most popular
suggestion of the last two months, as voted on here by you, Happy
DreamHost Huddled Masses:

https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=home.sugg

Is the one "Keep sites with adult content on different servers from the
rest.".. by almost a 3 to 1 margin over the second place suggestion.

Now, we've never been one to infringe on the First Amendment, nor have
we particularly interested in proactively policing our customer's
content. And we don't know if the popularity of this suggestion is out
of a desire to keep one's own shared-hosting site far away from busy
sites which may be taxing the load, or a worry of contracting some rare
form of digital herpes by sharing a host.

We're going to assume it's the former. And so, we did a little audit and
found that possibly isolating as few as 0.1% of our sites to their own
servers could dramatically reduce the load for the other 99.9% sites.
Literally; the ratio is actually 999 to 1.

Especially after the little network incident we had on Wednesday night:

http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2007/...etwork-outage/

we've decided a separation of some sort would be in the overwhelming
best interest of the Happy DreamHost Customer community as a whole.

We have already developed a system to start pinpointing sites with the
potential to be isolated, and in the next few weeks will further refine
the process to best attempt keep everybody's sites happy and healthy in
their own little hosting neighborhoods!

Well, banks also segregate customers, insurance companies segregate customers based on their insurance history, etc.

you wouldn't use dreamhost if you valued your sites anyway.

Tempest · 03-31-2007, 12:11 AM

What a shitty host.. they should have been tuning their servers all along by moving heavy load sites to other servers... morons..

martinsc · 03-31-2007, 12:23 AM

sounds like a good idea ...
lots of people use dh for small mainstream sites

dissipate · 03-31-2007, 02:56 AM

Who the fuck uses dreamhost anyways?

Calico Jack · 03-31-2007, 05:51 AM

For all the shit people put on DH, I have to be one of the lucky ones that has had no problem with them.
I have a small site there, uses less than 100 gig in bandwidth a month and it runs as smoothly as I could hope for.
In the 14 months I've had it with them, the site has been down twice, once for maintenance (which I was notified about) and once for about 2 hours.
Best of all, using one of the coupon I found here at GFY, the forst 12 months of hosting cost me $23!

DH being recommended by one of the top cloaking software distributors probably doesn't help the load either..

Matt 26z · 03-31-2007, 06:23 AM

I have some minor stuff there. I'm 100% satisfied with them.

I've had less dowtime with them on my mom's site then I've had with ThePlanet and ServerProvider in the last two years.

And I'm totally satisfied with bothof my dedicated hosts.

They offer something that they can't really give to every customer. Their business plan is based on overselling and just the fact that they accept adult sites on it and accept to loose money isn't bad...

Don't hate on something you haven't tried.

P.S. If anybody wants to try them, the first year is like $30 total with promo code : gofuckyourself
