Dreamhost 1-click Install!
April 06, 2005 |

UPDATE: For more information on why I recommend Dreamhost, read this.
The more I use Dreamhost’s Web panel interface, the more impressed I am with it. I’ve been working on a few projects lately and one of them needed me to set up Wordpress. I’ve never actually set it up before, although I’ve heard it’s pretty easy.
Knowing that Dreamhost has all sorts of host-specific instructions for applications, I checked their Knowledge Base first—and boy am I glad I did. They’ve got a page of simple instructions for those who’d like to do it on their own. And then they’ve got a simple form-driven page that allows you to fill out a few things, press a button and BIGGITY_BIZAM! you’ve got a new Wordpress install.
How sweet is that? Pretty sweet. ‘cept I’m not sure how enamored I am with WP, seems a bit harder to customize than MT. If anyone knows a good guide to customizing the WP templates, lemme know. But I digress.
Anyway, if you’ve not yet heard, Dreamhost rocks. For real.

Hey Keith…
I felt the same way about WordPress compared with MT (since MT is so streamlined and modularized), but I have been messing around with WP for the last couple of days and have found that it is actually pretty easy to customize. one of the best references for the actual pieces of WP is http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page which is kind of like their wiki. It is a great reference. and of coures, there are always the forums at wordpress.org. I must say, I do like some things much better about MT though.

William – Yeah, it could be just because I’m more familiar with MT. I’m going to give it awhile. I’ve got a few projects to work on and I’ve a feeling one in particular would be better done with WP. I’ve been checking out the codex and it is helpful. Thanks!

Yeah, their one click installs are really great. I’ve been using Dreamhost for a little over a year now and I love their hosting. Also, they just recently added 1-Click install for MediaWiki. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I think it’s just a matter of familiarity Keith - since I started with WP - I feel exactly opposite: MT seems impossible to customize while I feel that every facet of WP is customizable. If you have any questions - don’t hesitate to ask on the WP Support forums - more than likely someone’ll help you out!
Also, one-click installs are great… although WP is so frighteningly simple already - it hardly needs a one-click install :)

Ryan – I plan on trying that 1-click MediaWiki install at some point.
Kyle – Probably right. However, I’ve been looking for examples of some more “extreme” WP customization and I’ve not been able to find much. Everything I see is pretty much 2-column blog…I’m sure it can be done…The main thing that worries me is that I’m not sure if I have time to learn it right now. So far some stuff has been pretty easy, but…

I’ve never used their one click installs for the fact that they never have anything I want to install. However, I do love Dreamhost.
Ever since I moved to them back at the end of last year, everything has been going great. They do give more storage than I really need. And as far as their bandwidth, that’s a high selling point right there.
With a site like UMS I do eat up a lot of bandwidth from day to day, so that’s important to me. As far as their price, their specs, and relibality go; they are unmatched.
A lot of people point out little things about them that skew peoples judgement. You may hear a lot that they are constantly tweaking, upgrading, or making changes. Sometimes you hear about downtime; but it never effects anything important. I think the most downtime I had was I could not access mail for 9 minutes; which is inconvenient, but not any worse than you get for a lesser host at a higher price.

Why do people love Dreamhost so much?
I finally drank the kool-aid a few months ago and signed up for an annual account (tons of bandwidth, etc.), only to be disappointed with the server speed, clunky control panel, and unreasonable lag times for creating databases and the like.
Now that I’ve finally decided to cut my losses and move back to my other host (which has great control panels, dozens of one-click installers, instant database creation, etc.), I’m now stuck with the unpleasant task of transferring half a dozen hefty, database-driven websites to new servers.
What is it that I’m missing that makes people rave about how great they are?
Is it a branding thing?
Is it the DreamHost lifestyle? :)

Installations overview
I am still amazed at people that continue to use Dreamhost. I have an account with them right now for a company site that I work on and I can’t stand all their proprietary software that they market as so great yet it’s months to years behind the competition. On top of that, I found the user interface of the back-end to be completely unusable. Do you really find yourself knowing exactly where to go in all those sections and subsections on the left? I find myself searching for something forever before I find what I need. I’m really not trying to rant here, but I am shocked at all the people I see using Dreamhost after they turned me off so much to their services. I almost compare Dreamhost to my experience using windows. It works, but the alternative just “makes more sense.”

James – I don’t know. I’ve never used your old host, so I can’t compare. But I’ve had little downtime, Dreamhost is WAY faster in just about every aspect to anything I’ve used before and the support has been great.
And it’s relatively cheap.
If it was about lifestyle or branding I’d go with Media Temple – who by the way are very highly regarded and recommended as well. Digital Web uses them and they’ve been awesome.
Anyway, I recommend Dreamhost because they really have been great and after quite a few so-so hosts, it’s nice to be with one I can get behind.

Ryan – “I am still amazed at people that continue to use Dreamhost.” Well, I think this might have something to do with the fact that many of us can’t keep up with everything every host has to offer. I’d never seen a 1-click install from any host until today. What does that say about how these hosts market themselves?
There is simply TOO much to keep up with out there. I already spend too much time trying to keep up with the Web Jones’. I do find it somewhat curious that neither you nor James let us in on the great hosts you use…
Compared to any other host I’ve used Dreamhost rocks, and again, the price is good.

The best place to start learning about WP 1.5 customisation is the WordPress site and its forums. There’s links in the admin section to good advice and stuff too regarding themes.
Originally I’d done some WP 1.2 customisations on my blogs (well integrations, just grabbed my designs and pulled them over the WP).
But the great thing about 1.5 is the themes… Some theme tutorials are out there to start you off. Its really simple. I basically rename every div in the page body and just start using my own stylesheets, their stylesheet is my default NN4 gets squat one, hook up the RSS to work, and oh there’s 4 lines need commenting out of wp-blog-header.php cos someone coded it to call a 404 by default… then you’re away I guess… your database password is in the wp-config.php so you can use PHP and MySQL at will, umm I think that’s about it. If you run into trouble with those bits drop me an email maybe but you’re a far smarter guy than me lol so you’ll be fine. Once you’ve done it once and all that. So good luck and all the best to you…

At work we run a network of numerous sites that are hosted on several hosts. My boss wanted me to find a new host for one of our sites a few months ago. I noticed Mike Davidson’s endorsement of DreamHost, and I figured it would be a pretty reliable solution. I have to say the prices are great and we’ve had very few problems. The one major complaint though is their lack of telephone support. We only had one period of like 5-10 minutes downtime. However, because the site is a business, whenever it goes to we are right on top of it. Not being able to call is a big downside. Now the problem was rectified very quickly, however, my boss was pretty upset that I found a host that didn’t offer telephone support. While I know their tech support is very on top of getting back to you quickly, nothing is more comforting to a consumer than knowing they can call up and get a response from support at anytime, immediately. While we’ll be staying with DreamHost for that site, my employer has made it a point to inform me not to get any more hosting from any company that does not offer telephone support.

I’m with Kyle on this one, I believe it is a matter of familiarity. I installed MT and it sat dormant in a special folder on my site because I was completely baffled by it. I installed WP, had that bad boy up, running, and completely customized in all of 3 hours.
The wiki helped out quite a bit, but since the upgrade, the wiki’s outdated and it’s best to visit the codex (linked already). It also helps if you know your way around PHP too.
As for the Dreamhost debate, I guess it depends on what your own specific needs are - the same is true with any hosting provider you go with. I personally prefer cPanel hosting, but I do have a few clients who use Dreamhost and it’s pretty snazzy.

Keith, I just set up my new site with WP at Dreamhost (more on them later) and had only minor problems with customization. First thing, I got rid of the footer include and tried to consolidate my code in just the header, main, and sidebar templates. My code is way different from the usual blog program template.
The one weird problem I ran into was getting rid of code that was showing up in the sidebar. Within the WP admin panel, you have a tab for Links, so you can put in your favorite links and have them show up. The code it generates is less than desirable, so I cut it out of the sidebar template, loaded the page, and it was still there! I had to actually delete the links from the admin panel to make the code go away. Yes, I totally cleared the cache, too.
The sidebar template has a bunch of heading and paragraphs nested within list items and I don’t like that, so I replaced almost all the code there with my own.
As for Dreamhost, I got a year hosting and free domain registration for $9.24. I wish the people commenting would mention other hosts that are better. cPanel sounds good. Where do I sign up and for how much?

Hey Britt, It seems odd that you would need to actually delete the links from the WP admin panel, you can actually toggle their visibility and that would essentially turn them off.Also, the link structure can be customized completely by rewriting the sidebar.php file and using the appropriate link code. If you don’t want any links to show up at all, don’t include the link code.

My two cents, as a fellow Dreamhost proponent:
No host is perfect and every host has a certain amount of customers who for some reason don’t have a good experience. I’ve been with several hosts, however, and Dreamhost is simply much better than all of them. MUCH better. Not perfect, but really good, and extremely affordable.
As far as “unacceptable lag time to set up a database”, it takes about 5 minutes. That’s a cup of coffee. Perfectly acceptable to me. If you need instantaneous setup, then ok, I can understand how that’s not acceptable. But hey, DH gives you unlimited databases which most hosts do not… so whatever.
The only downside to me is what mike said. No phone support is really quite unfortunate. I don’t expect phone support for nagging email issues or anything like that, but it would indeed be nice to know you could reach someone in a pinch if your site was down for some reason. Oh well, not a huge deal to me, but yeah, it would be nice.

I recently switched to Dreamhost and so far I’m happy with the service and the price, esp. considering I can host a number of domains from my account. I do think their control panel needs some usability work, though. I’ve used cPanel before and prefer it.
Not sure on the proper etiquette when it comes to referrals (and maybe this has been covered in the comments above), but is the article’s link to Dreamhost also a rewards program link, providing a kick back should the link result in a sale?
I’m all for supporting this site and its hosting costs; I just like to know when a link is doing something behind the scenes. Or maybe everyone is familiar enough to know referral links are common practice, explicitly stated or not? Regardless, go Dreamhost and Asterisk. :)

One click install is fantastic whether it is just WordPress or Fantastico, and when I was trying to decide what was going to manage my site it was great to be able to easily set up each and see which one would suit me best. I only ended up with drupal bacause it took care of image galleries and phptemplates are easy.

I’m amazed at how strongly opinionated people are about their hosts, kinda funny to me. Especially when its all about familiarity and personal preferences.
I love WP but think that MT is much more dynamic on how it can be customized, my learning curve on WP is much slower for some reason, and their wiki loads slow as poo.
I also think it will be a few free months of hosting for Mr. Robinson based on the referral clicks and probable sign-ups! Good deal!

Dreamhost rules, WP drools.
But seriously, I tried the 1-click install just to futz around with WP, but I too am familiar with MT and have no complaints. WP still seems a bit kludge. Perhaps a nifty “switch” campaign would help them.

PS-
I gotta say, those are some really really sweet deals they have up there right now. Clearly unbeatable prices, options, limits, etc. I might be a sucker, but it looks too good to be true. I am currently paying for 2 seperate accounts on 2 different companies for a total of $19.99 a month and combined I don’t get even close to what I could with DreamHost for $19.99 a month. I might just switch. Maybe I’ll make a switch ad for it too!
thanks Keith, Mike, and all others above for putting your “word is bond” on it.

I have to say I have loved my host since I first made the transition to a non-MS server, as they have helped me with alot of questions along the way.
AQHost offers dozens of one-click installs through Fantastico and they offer free MT setup. I dont know if thats a big deal or not, but I sure couldn’t do it.
I have since switched from MT to WP though for a few things and have enjoyed the switch.

Keith, here are a couple of WordPress-powered sites that aren’t your standard weblog design:
Web Photos Pro
Make-a-Wish Foundation of Texas Plains
Also, I think that you’ll really find that WP template customization isn’t harder than MT, just different. There’s a good Theme Development guide on the WP Codex.

I just set up our Academic Support Center (tutoring, etc.) Web site with WordPress, and it doesn’t look particularly blog-like….
You can do some pretty miraculous things with templates, although I think it helps to have PHP knowledge. But I could be talking crazy.
The only thing about making a site-like site that’s frustrating, IMHO, is dealing with multiple levels of pages and navigation. I’ve developed several site-like templates for WP for work, and that’s always the trickiest bit.

Thanks for the tips on WP everyone. I swear, as soon as I’ve got time, which is the key here, I’m going to learn how to customize the heck out of it. Just like I did with MT.

WordPress is fun.. I’ve used the one-click wordpress install on Dreamhost half a dozen times probably, and customized numerous ways. It’s a lot of fun messing around with it, especially since 1.5. I’m not embarassed to say it’s taken the place of a customized CMS in the cases of some clients.
When I email tech support at Dreamhost, I think that’s when I really realize why I stick with them. Their responses are fast, educated (as in not a non-technical user with a flowchart), and never treat developers with anything less than respect and courtesy. Often times, they even throw in a joke or two, which just lets you know you’re dealing with someone who gives a hoot.
Definitely the phone support is a downside – I have rarely used phone support from any host, but it’s difficult to convince some clients that it can be ok to go without.

I’ve been playing around with dreamhost lately. I signed up during one of their triple bandwidth sales. So far I’m very impressed. They’ve really got their stuff together. The best part of all, their monthly newsletter is actually fun to read! That’s the true sign of a great host. : )

I’m joining this conversation a bit late, but thought I’d add my 2 cents on hosting. There is much information and feedback to be found on webhostingtalk.com if you’re interested in researching webhosts. I was looking for a cheap, reliable, and feature rich host. Well…I found a cheap and feature rich one at allabouthosting but I can’t say much about them being reliable.
Unfortunately, I’ve seen quite a bit of downtime and it’s taken days to get service tickets answered at times. It’s been about 6 months now and I think I’ll be trying out Dreamhost when the year is up. Hopefully they’ll be having another one of these crazy sales going on when I do.

The thing with wordpress is that it’s really easy to work with if you’re comfortable with PHP - if not it might be a bit daunting at first. The thing to know about WP 1.5 is that you put your html/css/images in the themes directory (took me a while to realize lol) then you can use any custom design you want - just build your pages the normal way in xhtml/css etc and then cut and paste a few wordpress tags from one of the default themes. Not all that much different from customizing MT, just a different language base. Once you get going with it you’ll soon notice how much faster it is at compiling since it’s not using cgi/perl.

I’ve used both MT and WP and found that MT was far easier to learn but that WP, in the end, gave me more options. For instance, WP being entirely php meant I could use php logic statements and expressions, whereas MT had specific tags like or whatever. Right now I’m definitely pro-WP – but one thing that does concern me slightly is WP having to go through so many PHP commands might slow things down on a large-scale site (which is not an issue for me, but as a programmer always is a nagging feeling in my head). MT works off single rebuilds which creates static files.

Keith:
As a WP and Dreamhost user I’ve found the conversation here interesting.
BUT when someone pointed out the fact that you used the dreamhost referral program to link to dreamhost in your post, I have to say, I’ve lost considerable respect for you and your blog.
How can I take your endorsement of dreamhost seriously if you’re makin $97 a pop on unknowing people who sign up through that link.
I don’t have a problem with you participating in the referral program - just a problem with not mentioning the fact that you’ll possibly be making money off your readers.
A bit deceptive, and straight up – uncool.

If I were a reader of Asterisk (hey, I am) and I signed up to Dreamhost through a link accessed from here, why should it matter if Keith gets BIGGITY-BIZAMMED $97? I don’t follow.

35. Matt Tobey said:
Keith making the $97 isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of transparency used.
When you understand that he can make money off that link, his approval of dreamhost somewhat loses weight….
just like when you watch Michael Jordan do a commercial for Energizer…. we don’t really think, ‘oh well Michael jordan must really trust energizer’; most people realize ‘he just got paid 10 million to do that commercial, and he would say anything to get the 10 million’ (not that I really can make that type of judgment on Michael… it’s just a random example)
I just think Keith should have said something like “Dreamhost rocks for these reasons. And if you are thinking about signing up for their services go through this link to help support this blog”
Any grateful reader shouldn’t have a problem with that kind of honesty; or with using the link and sending $97 Keith’s way.
I would have – Today I’m not so sure.
What do you think Keith?

Hi Keith,
I agree with Matt, but I mightn’t have put it so strongly. I have a lot of respect for you and this site (and still have) and would have signed up through your referral link if the article was published earlier. But out of respect for your audience, please make it clear that it is referral link.
As proof to my words, I actually signed up via Mike D’s site about a week ago after reading his write up on DreamHost. He was pretty clear that he would make some money off people signing up via the link.
As for my experience with DreamHost, too early to tell about performance/quality of service but I agree with some others above about its control panel being a bit unwieldy. Maybe it was cool and state of the art when they started but it isn’t up to par with today’s standards and expectations. I am still confused when I try to use it.
Keith, care to comment on the usability front of the “control panel” set-up of DreamHost?

I’ve got no problems with referral link. The link clearly is directing you to an address with “rewards.cgi” and an ID. That’s not exactly hiding things.
As for Dreamhost… You can’t beat the prices at Dreamhost. Their deals right now are all very competitive. cPanel’s interface definitely seems more user friendly and has better stats options as well. Of course I’ve used cPanel a lot more than Dreamhost so maybe I’m just more familiar with it.
What version of WordPress did it install? My cPanel is still using WP 1.2.

Matt – I’m sorry you feel that way. To be totally honest I wasn’t trying to be deceptive in the least. I recommend Dreamhost because it’s a great service, period. Now I do make money if people sign up from my recommendation, and why the hell shouldn’t I? If they’re going to pay me, I’d be an idiot not to.
As to your second comment – I did explain why I liked Dreamhost.
As far as me making it clear, I simply didn’t think about it. Not that I think it would make a lick of difference. If I had done that, someone would have complained anyway. You simply can’t make any money on the Web without someone complaining. I’d have just pissed someone else off. ;) It’s pretty silly when you think about it.
Look, if you think I’m a jerk, or lost some respect for me. Fine, whatever. I’m just a guy with a blog. There are plenty of other blogs you can read. I’m not going to feel bad about it.
Ian – I don’t know, the panel must be ok because I never really thought about it. I will say there are few times when I’ve had trouble finding something on it, but I’ve been motivated so it’s worked out. I’m quite sure it could use improvement, but I’ve just not really delved into it much.
Brian - 1.5.

I was actually going to ask if you had a referral link before I signed up so I’m glad it was there. Like you said, you would be an idiot not too!

Late to the discussion… but I use both Dreamhost and Lunarpages for hosting several websites.
If one absolutely, positively needs a shell account and many, many databases, then, yes, use Dreamhost. Otherwise, I heavily recommend Lunarpages (where extra databases are $1/mo extra on LP’s $7.95/month comparable plan, http://lunarpages.com/plan1.php).
Lunarpages has CpanelX, which is very easy to use and has better features than Dreamhost’s panel, which I simply find infuriating. Like Dreamhost, LP has one-click installs (using Fantastico, but why one-click installs are important I do not get (since every program I’ve installed manually is a snap and I’m a web newbie) but whatever). Unlike Dreamhost LP’s servers react instantaneously (no two hour delays, which I’ve experienced frequently during domain setup, build and design). And unlike Dreamhost, LP does not have shell access with its comparative plans BUT at Dreamhost, switching back and forth betwixt ftp and shell access, one needs to plan a couple hours in advance. Makes no sense to me!
The kicker for me was LP’s support system. For newbies, I’d push everyone to Lunarpages for their first year and then suggest Dreamhost afterwards. Maybe. Cuz LP’s support includes its knowledge base, its user forum (heavily patrolled by LP staffers – 200,000 articles, 13,000 users), its Live chat, and its support team, through whom I’ve received more correct answers more quickly, which is probably due to LP’s staff being much larger and therefore better able to respond more quickly than Dreamhost’s. Plus, Lunarpages has toll-free telephone support, which is free, too. Imagine speaking to a human when you really need it! Still, DH’s unlimited databases and huge bandwidth allocation (120G at DH vs. 40G at LP) is enticing.
Overall, I’ve just enjoyed my LP-hosted site experience much more. 16 months at LP versus three months at DH and downtime is the same.
One last vomit splash: Rumour has it that Lunarpages (based in Los Angeles) hosts some of the largest porn sites in the world. Not a negative in my book. To me that means they take uptime seriously, that they are cutting edge, and that cheapo sites like mine benefit from the trickle-down.

TextDrive is the way to go for hosting. Where is WordPress, Ruby on Rails, TextPattern, TextMate, etc. hosted? Yup, TextDrive. In the battle of the bands for hosting, those guys rock the hardest!

Yeah, I’ve been using Cpanel for years and switched over to Dreamhost the other day. I really don’t like their control panel. With Cpanel, I could add/remove databases in minutes and with Dreamhost I have to wait 10-15 minutes for them to be setup. I guess I can’t complain though, I used the promo code “777” and got their Crazy Insane Package 1yr package for only .77 cents a month.
