Althought windows only, Truecrypt looks really cool and can be a real lifesaver in conjunction with pendrives or even gmail.

Regular CGI, mod_perl, mod_python, the newcomer Ruby on Rails, and now CherryPy. Granted, some webhosts handle the first four (even Rails) without any problems, but how many do we really need?

I suppose the answer is "as many as it takes" — whatever's easiest for some users will be utterly impenetrable to others, and it's good to have choice. But at what point does it start to become a burden to keep up with all these — either for programmers looking to keep their CVs up to date, or hosts wanting to stay current?

Things!

I'll third that. I moved my and my dad's domains to dreamhost and they've been an, uh, DREAM to work with. Best part I think is their very well-done control panel. Not the standard CPanel that I hate so very very much. :) Everything is easy to find and links directly to help.

Only downside with dreamhost is that they have no phone support. They make up for it by answering all emails within an hour. I've never had trouble with them, even when it was to fix something I broke. :)

If you use MY referral code, you get half the referral back, so it's $48.50 to your account. Just thought you'd like to know. :)

Wow, nice job ripping your customers off! This is yet another reason why I have never trusted a "web dev" to tell me where to host my sites. $29.95 setup fee and $15.00/month for 25MB of space and 5GB transfer/month?! That's not even competitive with my old crappy dialup ISP's plan! And the last time I used them was.... 1998.

Let me give you an example of some other hosting companies' offerings. For $9.95/month dreamhost offers 2400MB of space, 120GB transfer/month, unlimited mysql, and a boatload of features your isoc site doesn't.

Powweb only offers one package. I've used them for the last 5 years, and the price hasn't changed, simply the package. Currently it is 5,000MB of space, 10GB/DAY of transfer (about 300GB/month), 650 mail boxes (unlimited aliases), and a ton of features that blow a lot of providers out of the water. All I really want is shell access, but it's no big deal because this is for a corporate site, not for me to have my own slash code sitting online somewhere.

Why refer your customers to a web hosting company if you don't even know of any review sites? That seems pretty ridiculous to me. Why don't you just tell them that you don't have any clue about it.

I have had similar issues finding webhosting reviews when I was trying to migrate a site from CIHost's crap. They all seem to be fake or complaints from clueless users. I eventually stumbled across an ask slashdot from a few years ago that was a person hunting for hosting. Thats where I found dreamhost and it has been nothing but great since (and a great deal). You should give Dreamhost a try. Their lowest level hosting is a great deal and provides more features than many more of the more expensive hosting providers. And yes, that IS a refferal link, you are free to leave me as the refferer or not but it DOES NOT CHANGE the final price you pay to dreamhost. The bottom plan is $7.95 a month either way and you get 2400mb space, 120GB monthly bandwidth, 600 IMAP/POP mailboxes, php/mysql/cgi...and TONS more. I am extremely happy with it.

Ha, ha, sorry but your comment reminded me of this Simpsons' quote:

Producer: You desecrated a classic film. This is worse than Godfather III.
Gibson: Whoa, whoa, hey, whoa! Let's not say things we can't take back.

Just replace film with song!

You should check out getting a serious upgrade (for less money!) to the current CodeMonster promotion: 1 free domain registration, 15 full domains, 75 subdomains, 7680 MB Disk, 192 GB Transfer, 3000 Mailboxes, 375 Users, MIVA merchant E-Commerce, etc. for 16/mo if you pay 2 years in advance, 20/month if you pay 1 year.

PHP4/5, RoR, CVS, anon FTP server, etc. -- I've been looking around for shared hosting for all of my "little" sites to live on, and this is now it (I signed up about 10 minutes ago). If you're signing up and feeling generous you can say "jtheory" referred you... thanks.

BTW, no Java/JSP support (for those making assumptions based on my username...), but I only use Java for larger sites anyway.

For that I'm getting a little fed up with my current (little & local) host, and thinking of moving to RimuHosting.com - I can get a decent VPS for a good rate, and they have Java experience. Anyone have any experience with them?

With news like these, at first we all think of encrypting our mail with PGP/GPG but... how do we know that it will make a difference?

Maybe governments know how to decode it but it's kept in secret in order to create a false sense of security :?

Quick, the tinfoil hat!

You can usually find a number of recommendations by freelancers such as myself for hosting suggestions.

A Small Orange is really popular right now among devs. I'm setting a client up with them, myself. They apparently have superb service and reliability. Another popular one is Dreamhost. I'll be switching over to them in 6-9 months, more than likely.

Hurry! Write this very same comment with two hundred words, put some ads and you'll be rich!

It sounds too cool (no pun intended) to be true. How will AMD react?

Though the first actual printed manual for Rails is, I think, only just entering shops now so it's all very developmental with no pun intended.

Though probably not complete see this list on the Rails wiki for a list of webhosts. Dreamhost.com is the first, as far as i know, major webhost to bring out full Rails support.

Their packages include one free domain registration if you choose to take advantage of it, but they also host domains that have been registered elsewhere. Click the 'Sign up now' button and you'll see your choices.

BTW, the free domain registration is in your name, not theirs, and you can transfer it away at any time. I took advantage of mine but transferred it to Netsol where the rest of my domains are. The services are still hosted by Dreamhost.

(yes, that's an affiliate link, but at least I'm working for it instead of just putting it in my .sig)

Or you can just use http://www.dreamhost.com/ so the above person doesn't make like a hundred bucks off of you.

We use DreamHost for our web and email hosting. They're cheap, the plans offer lots of space, functionality, and bandwidth, and we haven't had any problems with email or web downtime in the three years we've been with them.

See the sig above: $16, $0 Domain, 7.6GB Disk, 192GB pipe, MySQL, RoR, IMAP, [alderflats.com] ("alderflats.com" links to Dreamhost.com.)

(I know this is off-topic, but it is on-topic in that sigs are allowed, and sometimes we need to comment on sigs.)

Now I understand the Dreamhost ads we see in people's sigs, including that in the parent comment:

"Earn $97 CASH for each account you refer! Introducing DreamHost Rewards - the most flexible affiliate program of the web hosting world! You can choose to receive substantial one-time credits for each of your referrals, or recurring credits for every payment that your referrals EVER make to DreamHost! Credits can be paid out via PayPal or check, or applied to a hosting bill with DreamHost.com. You don't even need to host with us yourself! "

We've had problems with Dreamhost in the past. That was 3 years ago. Maybe they've changed. Anyone have any experience with the present Dreamhost?

How does Dreamhost compare with Powweb, for example? They both seem to have abusive marketing ideas; that raises a red flag for me; if someone abuses other people, they will certainly abuse me, I think.

All those advertisements of huge bandwidth allotments are just sneaky marketing, for Powweb, anyway. Powweb limits the number of hits customers can get each day, so that no customer could possibly use all the bandwidth.

Sigs that are ads create conflict of interest. The commentor may make a useless comment just so the ad will be seen. That decreases the utility of discussions for everyone.

I've gone with DreamHost* and I absolutely love it. 120GB/month for only $8**, with PHP, MYSQL, easy installs of wordpress and various other things I don't use, email, Jabber, etc.

Unless you absolutely need to pay under $8 a month, I've looked around quite a bit and it seems to be the cheapest and also one of the best out there.

*(disclaimer: link gets me money if you sign up with it :-)

** Can you say "overkill"? I use about 100MB of that, so I split with a friend and we each pay $4 a month.

"I would love something like:

<a href="/link.script" method="post" variables="a=1;b=2">"

I guess it it fortunate for us that you'll never see it - no browser would implement such a thing. It is contrary to the spirit of HTML in general and links specifically.

See the WhatWG discussion of this sort of thing for more reasons why it sucks.

Great service too.

Noble yes, geeky no.

Better yet, waste the money on a domain and a year's worth of web hosting.

If Hugunin has issues accepting patches because of who he works for, then that's a shame.

I'm glad he thinks that that may change post 1.0, but why will these issues suddently be easier to work around just because the code has reached a stable version?

I still would want some answers to these (and Edd Dumbill's, Miguel de Icaza's and Paolo Molaro's) questions before getting behing IronPython. The fact that such questions are raised at all is troubling, however.

The fact that questions are raised is not troubling, it just means there is real interest on this project. Different people, groups and companies will always have differing opinions on how a project like this should be run. Since it's a free software project, this is not dangerous - 'wrong' decisions by the project lead will result in a fork (only if the project really is interesting enough to warrant that much work though).

Have a read of this message. If some of these issues have been cleared up, then great!

I'm glad he thinks that that may change post 1.0, but why will these issues suddently be easier to work around just because the code has reached a stable version? If they can be worked around, why not do so now?

How long will it take for 1.0 to be released? Are people prepared to wait that long rather than forking, starting from scratch or getting behind an alternative effort right away? Will anyone still be around by then to be to be turned into an instant community? These things can't just get turned on or off.

If you'll still (lessend or not) need to get a Passort account and use gotdotnet to be part of the community, that will still be very off putting for many potential hackers. Having a Passport account is an identity theft waiting to happen. Why is required to be a part of the community? A web forum is a massively inefficient way of communicating when compared to a mailing list, why should people have to suffer it?

Sorry, it was actually this guy that figured out Netflix's allocation system.

Along thoes same lines here's a couple of other links. Here's the delay calculation Netflix denies:
Enter a reasonable 10,10,3-at-a-time

Here's a study done on rentals to prove it.

Take a look at what happens to availability of movies right after you pay for the next month.

Oh, if you cancel 1 day after renewing, you have 7 days to send everything back and you loose the rest of the month.

I'll second that. Interland used to be very reliable and responsive, but now they suck. When they tried to screw me one last time (I specifically asked for something other than the canned response, and what do they send?), I went to Dreamhost.

$10/mo gets me everything I want, and they pay for and take care of domain renewals.

No phone support, but I've never gone longer than 2 hours without an email reply. And their English is actually perfect!

I really can't recommend them enough.

And if you *really* want to give a referral, use this link. Yes, it's lame, but at least I'm *telling* you that I'll get money for it. And you don't lose anything. :)

Dreamhost seems to allow more than one domain, however, the plans say about "Unique IP Address": No No No Yes. You have to pay $80 a month to get a unique IP address.

Hi. I host with dreamhost (www.dreamhost.com). Even on their cheapest plans they include unlimited Mailman lists, so it is a pretty good deal. I run about 8 domains with them and they are quite reliable. Their tech support is also quite good. Note, I wrote the Mailman list admin documentation, so I consider myself experienced on this topic.

If you are not averse to referral credits, use this link (and thanks). --chris
