Vonachen Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:33:20 +0000 http://someventure.com/2006/10/26/dreamhost-vs-godaddy/#comment-22465 A couple of negative things about godaddy. If you want to experiment with different kinds of web programming it's a pain in the a$$. For instance if you want to write servlets or do JSP the process of having the right kind of account and knowing how they do it is more difficult than it should be. The container only restarts every 24 hours, on a virtual server you are sharing a server. If they used a true virtual like User Mode Linux that would not be the case. It would look just like your own server. Perhaps that's an infeasible support headache or a security risk for them. Also as far as I have seen you can not make or compile anything on your so called virtual server so you have to either get binary distributions or cross compile stuff. I don't know if that is available on the other one but as far as I know it's not available on godaddy. A couple of negative things about godaddy.

Good pricing and really friendly help. I have been with Dreamhost a very long time (several years) and have never had an issue. Good pricing and really friendly help.

I really couldn't tell you much about their service though as I haven't had a chance to fully test it out. I've been extremely busy with other things. I can tell you that the speed seemed to be a bit on the slow side initially but I'm assuming it's because I went with the low end plan ($9.95/mo). Although, my bandwidth is now at 2,368 GB and growing at 16 GB / week. I definately love the amount of control they give you. I wouldn't know what to do without shell access and there panel is quite extensive, although I have no basis for comparision as this is my first host. All in all, I'm pleased with em and hopefully I'll get a chance to return to my business plans soon and utilize their services more! Hello Venu,

I am inclined towards dreamhost; my site has been on godaddy economy hosting and its been a pain (but cant ask more for a 3$/month hosting) i am confused whether to go for godaddy's deluxe hosting (7$/month) or choose dreamhost. Are you on dreamhost now ? If yes, how is the experience till now ? I am also confused right now; whether to go for godaddy or dreamhost.

A couple people also recommended <a href="http://www.mediatemple.net/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Media Temple</a>, so I took a look at what they have to offer. They look like a premium host but a bit rich for my blood right now. DreamHost beats them in bandwidth and disk space though 2-to-1. On the other hand, Media Temple offers "Grid Servers" and I believe DreamHost still uses Shared? I could be mistaken though. If this is correct, Temple will have some performance advantages. Anycase, I think DreamHost is the way to go for me right now. I'll probably start off with Level 1 Monthly and, as mld suggest, use one of <a href="http://digg.com/tech_deals/Dreamhost_Promo_Codes_for_Even_Cheaper_Hosting" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">these codes</a> to save me on setup fee's.

I can't recommend GoDaddy unfortunately - I have a few accounts with them and unless you nail their setup process the first time through you'll wait 24-48 hours after each support call to have anything changed. I waited over a week (and at least an hour each night on the phone with them) to get a domain I registered with them pointed to a site hosted by them. I heard every excuse under the sun during the process. There's too many hosters out there to settle. Go for the one's that give you the most disk, bandwidth, and (most importantly) freedom to control your production environment. Good luck man.

I got pretty bad for a long, long time. Check it out for yourself; http://www.dreamhoststatus.com Things seem to have stabilized now with my sites at least but it is just recently.. If you still want to go with dreamhost get someone to give you a discounted referral code, they will get you $97 off. I could generate you one but there are millions out there and I'm lazy. Good luck over the next few days in completing you appetizer app on time! I will be checking in...
