As in: Favorite Things

When I was looking for webhosting service (for my own domain, http://www.curragh-labs.org/), I asked a friend what he recommended, and he said DreamHost. Since then, I have always recommended Dreamhost to others, and I hereby recommend them to you. Here's my anecdote:

A while back, DH had a sale they called the "triple everything" sale. In it, they said their plans now included three times as much of everything, three times as much bandwidth, storage, etc. My plan went from 800mb and 40Gb/mo to 2.4Gb and 120Gb/mo. At first I thought it would be like cell phone companies, where only new subscribers get the new deal but nope, I got it too. For the same price.

Along with their fantastic customer service, I thought that was great. Now they send this in their newsletter:

2. Watch your disk and bandwidth quotas GROW!

The reason I mentioned getting scratched across the eye was because MY own personal dog, Salt (named after his taste), scratched ME across the eye last night! How did a 2' 3" dog scratch a 6' 5" sexy human across the eye you might ask? THAT is a very good question.

Perhaps Salt grew, as only living things do? Only living things until NOW that is! Because right now, or maybe yesterday, depending on when I find that script to send this newsletter, all DreamHost shared hosting customers' disk and bandwidth quotas are GROWING CONSTANTLY!

That's right! Every week, your plan limits will grow as follows, at absolutely no charge:

L1: 20MB disk and 1GB bandwidth each week!
L2: 40MB disk and 1.5GB bandwidth each week!
L3: 60MB disk and 2GB bandwidth each week!
L4: 80MB disk and 2.5GB bandwidth each week!

So, the longer you host with us, the more you've got! AND, we're so nice we've even retroactively grown your limits based on how long you've been hosting with us already (up to a one year max)!

They'd already given me plenty of reasons to stick with them. Now I'm even shilling. For free. Posted by briley at July 7, 2005 8:18 AM
