WordPress Wednesday: Two Excellent Blog Hosts March 4th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PST
In the last five or six years I have used almost exclusively only two web hosts: DreamHost and Network Redux. I consider myself an “informed source” when it comes to the reliability of web hosts: I have hosted well over 3,000 websites with these two companies since 2000. If you are planning on running a […]
Dreamhost Meltdown January 11th, 2003 @ 1:55 am PST
Had a slight meltdown here at the ol’ weblog this afternoon. It seems that Dreamhost decided to rename a computer – specifically the one that hosts all my websites – without telling anyone. That caused a bit of a problem since the MovableType CMS (That’s the engine that drives this page!) needs to know the […]

Blogging October 15th, 2001 @ 11:25 am PDT
I receive many messages similar to this one: so what if I want to set up a blog and play with it for a bit before I publish it to the world? How would you recommend I go about that? Do I need my own domain and hosting service first? Here’s what I can tell […]

I have MovableType running now and this blog, Works in Progress is a MovableType blog! I’m using DreamHost as my web host, and thought – on the off-chance that anyone reads anything here ever – that I’d note some things specific to DreamHost. The most important thing to note is that under DreamHost a user […]
Port Problems August 2nd, 2001 @ 3:58 pm PDT

I know you’re asking, “David, what does that mean?” It means I can’t upload anything to my site from work (no new songs!), I can’t send eMail through my davidgagne.net account from work, and I can’t modify any of the files at […]
domain name expired February 11th, 2001 @ 2:52 pm PST
So. My domain name (davidgagne.net) registration expired on February 9. Rather than do something silly, like send me an eMail to warn me that it was about to expire, the folks at dotster simply closed my home on the ‘net and replaced it with that Renewal Notice. As far as I can tell, I got […]
