- petercooper 18y agoSeconded. Dreamhost seem to get quite a bit of flak due to their size, but I have an account with them for "secondary" stuff and it works excellently for that. I'd only use my own dedicated servers for the proper stuff though :)
- rochers 18y agoI also use Dreamhost for my secondary stuff. It's great as a staging server although you don't have full control over the server. If anybody wants $50 off the first year (that makes it reeeeeeallllyyy cheap per month), you can use the promo code LIFEHACKER. For virtual dedicated, I use Slicehost (http://www.slicehost.com http://www.slicehost.com) to host The Photo Stream (http://www.thephotostream.com http://www.thephotostream.com) and they have been excellent for the past two months.
- arthurk 18y agoOr use "WPDH2" as a promo code and get some additional storage and bandwidth (http://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress.html http://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress.html) I've been using Dreamhost for a while now (to host my blog) and it has been pretty much okay but I wouldn't host any critical stuff on it. WebFaction (http://www.webfaction.com http://www.webfaction.com) and Slicehost (http://www.slicehost.com http://www.slicehost.com) are pretty popular lately (although not _that_ cheap). I would probably go with webfaction for a django app.
