I was checking them out a while ago, but i came to the conclusion they can fuck off, $50 set up fee? to add a username to a linux box? eat shit, theres piles of hosts out there that will bend over backwards for their clients. These fuckers want to start out the relationship by fucking you in the ass for $50 for two minutes of typing.

Get a 1 or 2 year program with no setup fee, you have a 97 dat money back guarantee, plenty of time to see if they are ok for you ...
I'm with Dreamhost since April 2000 and I'm very satisfied with them.

$9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage! ; use any of these invitation codes: 216263692101; 408636009193; 846090586647; my ICQ 30160426!

They are not set up for instant tech support. But for projects that can handle a 12-24 hour response, they are a cheap and friendly solution. I've had sites there since the late 90's.

Use promocode : adultwebmaster
and you'll get your setup fee waived.

Really?

That would be enough to get me to signup for a few months, but when I put my shit up I want it to stay up, done moving around.

More input appreciated ;)

How is there control panel? I am used to using cpanel on my other sites and like it very much. They have their own, I guess.

If you know what the fuck you are doing do not use Dreamhost. Find another host that actually has tech support worth a damn. Real webmasters need r00t, they don't give it.

However if you are just looking to host a really simple site and don't think you will require any kind of advanced functions they are a decent deal because of their low prices.

I've had small websites for family hosted there... never had any major downtime for over a year. It's not the host you can count on 2 minutes reply, but normally you get a reply in 2-3 hours.

I wouldn't suggest a dedicated thought.

Very easy to navitage... takes an hour or two to get used to it.

that's how they afford the high commissions that gets everyone whoring out their service (see this thread)

they're okay and I have sites with them but nothing critical. 24 hours to get a support email response and no phone number is shit

all my important sites are elsewhere

Actually fuck this ... fuck the commission, here is the real deal ;)

So here it is :

www.dreamhost.com
promocode : gofuckyourself

Basicly you choose the level 1 plan wich gives you 20 gb storage with 1 terrabyte of transfer monthly. You choose to prepay for a year (That's 120 bucks). When you enter promo code, 97 $ will be taken off.

Just thought I'd let you guys know, this is the perfect newbie hosting, and they do accept adult.

I will definately check out that deal Doctor Dre.

Pretty nice one, and gives my project plenty of time to build traffic and profit.
