Lobby Pong

Here at DreamHost, we’re as serious about web hosting as we are about ping pong. And if we need more room for servers — or a quick doubles game — we’re totally in favor of expansion. So when the situation calls for it, we move our table into the elevator lobby on our floor… It doesn’t [...]

Dime a Dozen

Another week, another Happy DreamHost Customer with a gold medal. And don’t try and say Shawn Johnson isn’t happy either! Just look at those teeth! Congratulations Shawn, and we appreciate you leaving the .dreamhosters.com in www.shawnjohnson.dreamhosters.com, no matter how trashy it looks! (You know, those are really supposed to just be temporary domains, right?) So far we haven’t had to [...]

Camping Out

Disclaimer: This post isn’t really about camping — unless you’re talking about the kind that really passionate nerds do — so if you were expecting to read about bug spray, beans and campfires, you might want to ignore everything below. As the resident WordPress nerd around these parts, I get to spend a lot of my time [...]

Hot off the presses

Earlier this year DreamHost was named as one of only twenty five companies worldwide to be recognized as having a democratic workplace by the WorldBlu Organization. What’s that mean? It means that we listen to our employees. It means we’re transparent in how we do things and why we do them. It means [...]

DreamQuake!

We just felt a BIG earthquake! Okay, just a 5.8, but it sure made our 50th story office BOUNCE! Don’t worry, all data centers are okay!

Crazy Domain Insane

There’s something I’ve always hated about the web hosting business. No, it’s not the cut-throat competition, the crazy customers, or the California climate. And NO, it’s not the 5-hour work week NOR the oodles of money either… those are fine. It’s the domain names. (And, by extension, ICANN.) The problem with ICANN, as I may have mentioned before, is that [...]

Mobile Lan

Guess who got a 3G iPhone… two weeks early? Try not to be too jealous of me, but… me! Hooo yeah, it is SO sweet, being able to download web pages, like 90 times faster. Not to mention, I can access the iTunes Store anywhere now, so I can rock out to 30 second clips of whatever [...]

Mobile Man

So, what with all this mobile spam and iPhone 3G talk, I spur-of-the-day decided last week to check out Sprint and AT+T’s current wireless data offerings. Well, mostly spur-of-the-day. It was also because my current laptop is starting to die (just like my last three VAIOs, something comes loose somewhere deep inside its soul, and it [...]

Mobile Spam

The other day I bought one of those new banana creme-filled Twinkies! It seemed delicious enough, and it was! After eating it in six seconds, I noticed on the wrapper they had some kind of cool contest going on! It said I could enter by visiting their website or by sending a text message to them.. how modern [...]
