When I made the change to this new website a month ago, I also made the move from my previous web host, Hoststock, to Dreamhost. Despite lots of complainers who whine about occasional announced downtime overnight on selected servers (that I find better than other hosts’ frequent unannounced daytime downtime), I signed up with them. I couldn’t be happier. I now have more space and bandwidth than I could use, with slightly faster response times, and a great control panel. The main reason I’m posting about this is because of the great one-click install system Dreamhost has. When setting up the website I had a one click install of WordPress. Today I had a one click upgrade from WordPress 2.1.2 to 2.1.3. It went flawlessly. They warned I that I may have to reinstall themes or plugins after the upgrade, but I had to do neither. It was perfect. Upgrading web software is typically a nightmare so this is a very nice change.

While on the topic of Dreamhost, I think I’ll point people in the direction of the other projects I currently host… Dash Studios, Diefuchsjagden and The LAN Station. Have a Happy Easter everyone!
