DreamHost Review - Day 5
Another look at dreamhost so far…
I have to admit, dreamhost is great for a novice web developer/admin. It offers you will/could ever need.

My problems are the server is unresponsive today (ok, well it’s slow). Actually, there is a bad trace between me and dreamhost. Level3 is dropping packets like crazy (40% with MTR). This isn’t their problem.
They did have a runaway database server, but didn’t effect me because I don’t have mine setup yet.
Problems discovered today:
1) It doesn’t seem possible to access your site or database server without your domain pointing to it.
This is probably because I haven’t taken the time to dig it out of their FAQ yet. I will let you know what I find.
Neureal had a temporary domain that was assigned, not obvious here with dreamhost.
Update: Ok, this is pretty lame they can’t just do this for you, but you have to manually create a sub-domain on their main domain dreamhosters.com (mydomain.dreamhosts.com), then you can access it and test it.
