It increas­ingly seems like peo­ple enjoy bash­ing Dreamhost these days, but I haven’t expe­ri­enced any real prob­lem with them and actu­ally rather enjoy the power of their extremely advanced con­trol panel with­out the respon­si­bil­ity of hav­ing to admin the day-to-day junk of a co-located box.  I’ve been using them since 2003 and cur­rent host 18 domains there (although that num­ber has been higher in the past.) Hav­ing an off-site shell account is invalu­able.  My band­width and disk space caps are well beyond what I fore­see myself need­ing any­time soon (12TB and 600GB, respectively.)

At any rate, they gave me five “invite codes” to give to peo­ple who want to sign up.  Of course, you don’t need an invite code, but if you use one, you’ll get four times the nor­mal disk space and band­width of what­ever plan you choose.  And in the spirit of open dis­clo­sure, they’ll give me a credit toward my host­ing for any codes that get used.

So if you’re con­sid­er­ing host­ing a new web­site (or migrat­ing an exist­ing one) and want an invite code, let me know in a com­ment or through email, and I’ll get you one.
