[clue-tech] Two things

[Jeremy Slade]

I've been with Dreamhost for about 4 years, been very happy on the 
whole.  I used to do registrations through registerfly.com, but use 
Dreamhost for that as well now.

<$200 every two years for hosting, plus ~$10/year for each domain 
registration.  Full ssh access, their own custom panel which is *lots* 
better than cpanel.  phpMyAdmin for mysql, one-click installs and 
various other goodies.  I host a couple of low-traffic rails-based sites 
with them (shared hosting), and it works just fine.  Support has always 
been responsive and very competent.

Only downside I've seen is response time.  I don't have hard data for 
comparison, just seems slower than what I get visiting other sites.
