I'm going to WordCamp

Well I wasn’t alone in this, but it’s nice all the same.

1. It’s our birthday? Double the bandwidth, tenify the disk!

So, what feature WAS I alluding to last month anyway? Could it that it’s now been NINE years since we registered dreamhost.com, and to celebrate we’ve upped everybody’s disk and bandwidth, AGAIN, wellll beyond the realm of possible use: up to TEN times the disk (including growth rate) and at LEAST double the bandwidth (also including weekly growth rate)!

And as usual, all existing customers get it too, and you don’t even have to do anything to upgrade. It’s … already … happened.

Anyway, that puts us at, um. Er. I’m not sure. A lot. Check it out:

http://www.dreamhost.com/

But WAIT! Is that a new site design for dreamhost.com I see? And what’s that on the main page? Pictures of employees and RSS feeds? GRADIENTS?

Amazing! What version of the web would you even CONSIDER a site like this? It’s gotta be more than 1.5, possibly even 1.9..

This is some kind of killer upgrade, for sure. Possibly even SUPER.

And for those of you who say, “SCREW all the features, ALL I *really* want is website, email, and database stability!” I say, “You are smart.”

Which means currently I’ve got:

Disk: 5% of 200.6 GB
(+1.0 GB / week)

Transfer: 0% of 2272 GB
(+16 GB / week)
Yes… I’ve barely made a dent in my transfer… but with all the ups and downs, I’m not surprised. But it was nice of them to do that… and considering how little I spent for the year… for 200 Gigs of space and 2 Tetrabytes of transfer… And hopefully it works out that there isn’t any more network problems.
If you are interested in the service I made a code for regular readers. Put in LITWC75 for $75 off yearly and 2 years hosting and $25 off the monthly rate.
