Omg... Dreamhost

Guys,

I'm not spamming this. I checked out my host today... Dreamhost.com today and look at my bandwidth!

Total Bandwidth Provided: 7472 GB

I use to be just at 5100 GB yesterday, but dreamhost has a sale now. All default packages are by default 5 TB of bandwidth. Also, my bandwidth increase at 40GB a week now. I just had to announce this. I was shocked when I saw this today. To be honest, I used them so far for 7 months and never been shut down, they don't limit mysql... they only have issues if your taking about 50% of the server Anyways, just check it out. Woot!

You know, I understand where your coming from, but guess what... dreamhost for me has lived to their end of the bargin. I even had one of their techs that spent personal time rewritting codes for me and it was my own coding, nothing they were obligated to. My site is always up and dl's have been fast.

I've been with several crappy host (i.e Powweb - was good back before 2007 - before they was taken over by someone else) and use to pull hairs over nothing. Everything is always up and if you have issues, they always have that 97 day get your money back thing. I'm sorry if I'm defending them, but it's like buying a brand new Mustang for $5000 bucks and in the end, it drives like any other Mustang

Another message of help:

Part I:

Hello,

I've gone to the URL (xxxx) and this seems to work best when run through a web
browser.

I wrote a webpage and some software a few months ago that I think would
really help you ( It's free ) and make this much easier for you to do.
You can find step by step instructions here:

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks!

Part II:

The problem was that the program was not chmod u+x'ed, I've done this,
and it runs. It looks like the php page is checking a licence, but my
program will not follow the link. Does this link need to be followed? I
can add code to support this. but if it's not a requirement for your cronjob
I'm less inclined to recode that script.


Thanks!

bandwidth limits and overage charges are a complete scam anyway. I do my own in-house hosting and none of the transport providers I researched (before deciding on XO) have any type of bandwidth limits on OC class lines.

The hosts do this to upsell packages, for profit and to manage network congestion.
