my webhost
I like them, even though I usually don't know what the heck they're talking about in their newslettery. They're always like, now you can do this and that! And I'm like, ok whatever that means. But I think I like knowing that whatever it is I might want to do in the future, I can probably do it without changing webhosts. Like this blog-- the perl modules or whatever I forgot what they were, were already installed on the Dreamhost server. I'm sure that's pretty common with webhosts but then again maybe it's not. I'm pretty sure it's not ok with my yahoo account. Or maybe it is. But no, I don't think so. I get basically nothing with that. I like yahoo for other reasons and kind of have an account with them just for the heck of it.
I haven't used Dreamhost's tech support very much but the times I've had they've been pretty helpful. I tend to figure out most everything myself though and just email them if I'm really confused. I feel like they are almost too nice and would help me even more if I was too lazy to figure it out myself. They even have this drop down menu in their tech support form where you select "I'm an idiot" "I know a little," or "I know a lot," or that's not what the choices say of course but it's something to that effect, so if you wanted to just not think at all you could be an idiot and I suppose they would hold your hand through it. Though that also takes time because often reading the explanation takes longer than just figuring it out yourself. I think in general with web stuff it is better to be smart. Which is actually not true of everything in life.
I get a referral bonus if people sign up with lily_huang as their referrer, or (so they say) if someone gets to the website by clicking a link from this site.
When I signed up it was through a link on giantrobot.com but I have no way of knowing whether they actually got anything out of it.
