Global Reset

My new home for my blog, globalreset.org, is being hosted by Dreamhost.com. I was referred to them by a friend of mine, and I’m glad I chose them. It’s pretty reasonably priced, at $7.95/month, and has a pretty powerful web-based management system. The reason I chose them, over similarly priced competitors, was that they offered shell access and webdav support. Also, the Pragmatic Programmers are pretty excited about this Ruby on Rails thing, and Dreamhost supports that as well (and you won’t find a similarly-priced competitor with that offering). As soon as I get that infinite free time thingy, I’m going to investigate this Rails framework.

In any case, if you want to try Dreamhost, I have a promo code that you can use: GR1337Promo. It’ll take $50 off your order. So, if you order just a month-to-month plan, it’ll basically waive your setup fee. If you pre-pay for one year (there is no setup fee in this case), it’s about half off the cost of your first year. Feel free to re-distribute this promo code. Full Disclosure: I get a referral fee of $47 each time one of you save $50.
