Over the past week I have been migrating my sites to their new home on DreamHost. Kind of strange seeing xBuzz go third party after 10 years hosted on various Linux boxes I have set up. From 24/7 dedicated dial up to cable modem to partial T1… it’s been an adventure of sorts. Linux has came along way since I ran my first installation… Either way, since I’ve moved to Virginia Beach maintaining a server in Richmond has became too much and drives are far to long to perform maintenance outside the scope of SSH. I still have a few domains I need to transfer that are substantially larger in scope so I’ll be working on them over the next couple weekends.
In case you are interested DreamHost offers an excellent hosting plan… Here’s what made me feel more comfortable with the switch:
- $72/year (Promo Code: UDREAM) regularly $120/year
- 500GB Storage (Increases 2GB bi-weekly)
- 5.0TB Data Transfer (Increases 40GB weekly)
- PHP 5.X
- MySQL 5.X
- SSH / FTP
- Unlimited Domains
- Unlimited Email Accounts / Forwarding
- SVN
- CRONs
- SSI Support
- Free Domain Registration
- Customizable DNS
- < 1 hour setup
Too many to list…
Needless to say, if you need hosting check them out. Use the promo code (UDREAM) and save 50 bucks.
