This site and and a couple others I run are hosted at DreamHost. When I first set up a DreamHost account a year ago the best plan for what I needed was their Sweet Dreams shared hosting plan. At that time it was $19.95/month for 500 MB storage, 25GB/month transfers and included 3 domains, 15 sub-domains, ample email etc. Recently I noticed they were having a sale on the next level plan. The “Code Monster” plan is, for now, the same price—$19.95—as the Sweet Dreams plan. Code Monster includes 1600 MB of disk space, 40GB monthly bandwidth, 15 domains, 75 subdomains, even VPN access. A great deal to say the least, and naturally I had to inquire about getting the sale price and upgrading my plan. 5 minutes after sending the support request email, I was fully setup on the Code Monster plan. Now I can consolidate sites hosted with three different providers in one place–which will also save me about $20/month. Sweet service and support! I have had only one problem with DreamHost in a year and that issue was resolved within 20 minutes. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Check out the plans available, especially while the sale is on.
Just checking somethin—need to verify a comment issue & see how it “works out” here before I apply it somewhere else
