Dreamhost, light of my life, fire of my loins.
Dreamhost have now implemented Subversion (it’s on a beta release at the minute) so now I probably could not love my web host more. I currently have 1.6TB of bandwidth per month and 60GB of disk space on my hosting platform, which brings about a complete shift in how I use my webhost. I can now host files, as well as websites, on my Dreamhost account in Subversion repositories for me to check out working copies as and when I need them. Who needs local disk space?
Well, it’s not quite that good but it’s not far off. I’ve added my ‘Imagework’ folder as a repository and can now check out at work, home or Starbucks whatever I need. I’m not even sure I need to backup stuff because DH take care of that. Oh so very cool.
If you’re thinking of signing up for a Dreamhost account, feel free to use my id ‘stephen’ as a referrer (I get cold hard cash).

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
Sorry to use a comment to try to contact you. I found your site through a blog designer wiki and was wondering if you are available for commissions?
Thanks, Glenn.
Their hosting plan looks very nice, but I daresay if even a quarter of their customers took full advantage of the storage / bandwidth allowance, they would end up in severe financial diffs. :)

Stephen: Dreamhost are alright, but their support sucks big time. Good prices though, but the felled my business site for a while and wouldn’t respond to me.
On an unrelated note, didn’t you have an I Love NI wiki on here at one point? Have you decommissioned it? Feel free to email me back about this.
Gerard: Dreamhost’s support has always been good for me, and I’ve been there for 6 years. I find it hard to believe they didn’t respond to you, they’ve always got back to me (and mostly within 24 hours) and I’ve made pretty extensive use of the support because I use these servers to test things and often need some help undoing my mistakes.
The wiki is gone until that point in the future when I write a better one.
