We when launched dedicated hosting back in March we suspected it might be a popular choice among new customers, and an attractive upgrade option for old ones too.

Dedicated hosting was certainly popular. We sold out of our initial batch of servers faster than we’d ever expected. Once we’d replenished our supply they just kept flying off our virtual shelves. We tried everything to stem the flow of orders…changing hardware configs, monkeying with pricing, you name it.

We’ve managed to keep on top of it all and demand has somewhat stabilized now, so we’re happy to announce that we’ve since doubled the number of available server configs from three to six.

Prices start at just $99 per month and we can have you up and running within minutes of signing up!

Just do it, Old Man!

Or woman!

Or…”other”.

We’re happy to announce that, as of today, DreamHost is an angel sponsor of the The Ada Initiative.

The tech industry, and perhaps to a greater extent the open-source community, is predominantly male. Of that we are quite sure. It’s evident from the job applicants we see, the industry events we attend, and the current smell around the office.

There’s a real gender difference here, and it exists for no good reason.

The Ada Initiative is an attempt to change all that. Their goal is to help women get careers in open technology through recruitment and training programs for women, education for community members who want to help women, and working with corporations and projects to improve their outreach to women.

It’s a solid goal and we support their efforts! The Ada Initiative is just getting off the ground right now and they’d appreciate your support too.

You can also keep track of them on Facebook and follow @adainitiative on Twitter.
