			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>November through January we solicited donations from our customers for a worthy organization: <strong>Therapeutic Living Centers for the Blind</strong>.  </p>
<p><a href="http://tlc4blind.org/"><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tlc.gif" alt="Therapeutic Living Centers for the Blind" title="Therapeutic Living Centers for the Blind" width="222" height="110" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1715" /></a></p>
<p>TLC is a community of learners and teachers who have come together to create a supportive and encouraging environment for those with developmental disabilities and blindness. More than a facility, TLC represents a family working together to support each individual in order to develop his or her unique strengths.</p>
<p>11 of our customers made donations totaling $378, which we then matched for a total of $756.  While our matching period may have ended, you can always <a href="http://tlc4blind.org/yes/ea01.html">submit donations to TLC directly</a>.</p>
<p>TLC joins a long list of non-profit organizations to which our customers have contributed over the past several years.</p>
<p>Current customers can visit the <a href="https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=home.charity&#038;">Home / Give to Charity</a> section of their account control panel to submit donations at any time.  The charge will appear on your next hosting bill and <strong>we&#8217;ll match anything you&#8217;re able to give</strong>.  We host nearly a million domains now and know that far more than 11 of you are capable of supporting something larger than yourself, so please do!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve chosen to support <a href="http://www.homeforwomenandchildren.com/">Home for Women &#038; Children</a> of Shiprock, New Mexico as our next donation target.<br />
<a href="http://homeforwomenandchildren.com/"><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/hfwac.gif" alt="" title="Home for Women &amp; Children" width="329" height="143" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1721" /></a><br />
They&#8217;re a non-profit shelter providing safe harbor for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.  Please consider <a href="https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=home.charity&#038;">making a donation</a> if you haven&#8217;t already.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

This day has been a long time in the coming.
A long time. A long long time. A loooooooooooooooooooong long time. A looooooooooooooooooong looooooooooooooooooong loooooooooooooooong time! A really long time.

<p>This day has been <em>a long time</em> in the coming.</p>
<p>A long time. A <em>long</em> long time. A <em>loooooooooooooooooooong</em> long time. A <em>looooooooooooooooooong looooooooooooooooooong loooooooooooooooong</em> time! <strong>A really long time.</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Apple_Tablet_concept.jpg" alt="Could this be what you&#039;re going to win?" title="Could this be what you&#039;re going to win?" width="347" height="380" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1680" /></p>
<p>In fact, at this point I&#8217;m starting to get a little <em>tired of hearing about it.</em> Actually, I&#8217;ve been tired of hearing about it ever since day uno. Day <em>ichi</em>. Day <strong>un</strong>. Day one.</p>
<p>Finally, <em>Wednesday, January 27th, 2010</em> will be a day that lives in infamy on the Internet.. a day in which the most annoying Internet &#8220;meme&#8221; of all time was mercifully put to rest&#8230; that&#8217;s right, today will <em>forever more</em> be remembered as:</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/apple-tablet-concept.jpg" alt="An iPhone that doesn&#039;t fit in your pocket!" title="An iPhone that doesn&#039;t fit in your pocket!" width="400" height="266" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1682" /></p>
<p><strong>THE DEATH OF FAIL!</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not exactly sure how it started &#8230; I guess probably <a href="http://failblog.org/">failblog</a> &#8230; but it has annoyed me <strong>TO NO END</strong> when those hip, snarky, oh-too-clever-to-come-up-with-their-own-schtick, kids on &#8220;teh internets&#8221; use <em>&#8220;fail&#8221;</em> to mean <em>&#8220;failure&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>Just like <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/">lolcats,</a> it was <i>kind</i> of clever when the whole thing started, but now, three years on, when there are <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=fail">over 100 tweets a minute with &#8220;fail&#8221; in them,</a> <strong>IT IS JUST PLAIN PATHETIC.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s about time somebody put their foot down.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fail-whale1.jpg" alt="Ah, the good old whale failure." title="Ah, the good old whale failure." width="499" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1684" /></p>
<p><strong>Introducing the <em>Happy DreamHost Apple-A-Day Tablet Contest!</em></strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<blockquote><p> 1. The contest is open to <s>US residents only</s> <strong>anybody in the world</strong> (where not prohibited by law) who are not employees nor related to employees of DreamHost. No purchase necessary, you do not have to be a DreamHost customer to win.<br />
 2. You may enter the contest only <b>once per day,</b> starting today, January 27th, 2010&#8230;. days are counted based on the U.S. Pacific Time Zone.<br />
 3. To enter, simply post a &#8220;tweet&#8221; via <a href="http://www.twitter.com/">twitter</a> that includes the word <em><a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/">DreamHost</a></em> in it (upper case and content of tweet do not matter&#8230; but spelling does!).<br />
 4. The contest ends on the day we get <strong>20 16GB Wifi iPads <s>$10,000 worth of Apple Tablets</s></strong> physically in our possession. <s>If by some miracle there ends up being no such <em>thing</em> as an Apple Tablet, the prize becomes $10,000 worth of whatever the hell Apple announces today instead.</s><br />
 5. At that time, we will randomly pick <em><s>floor($10,000/$price_of_tablet)</s>20</em> winners from the valid entries (we will be logging all tweets with &#8220;dreamhost&#8221; in them in the meantime) and contact them via twitter (from our <a href="http://twitter.com/dreamhost">@dreamhost</a> account) to verify their eligibility.<br />
 6. And now, <em>the final twist</em>&#8230; a winner will be determined <em>ineligible</em> (and a replacement picked) if at <strong>ANY</strong> time between now and the end of the contest they have posted <strong>ANY</strong> tweet(s) with the term &#8220;fail&#8221; in it/them (or any clever alternative spelling)! &#8220;Failure&#8221; is fine. &#8220;Sucks&#8221; is fine. &#8220;Crappy&#8221; is fine. &#8220;Nightmare&#8221; is fine. Just not &#8220;fail&#8221;. Nor <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23fail">&#8220;#fail&#8221;</a>. Nor even <a href="http://twitter.com/fail">&#8220;@fail&#8221;</a> (poor guy).
</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s it! <em>Simple really.</em></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/apple-tablet-patent-400.jpg" alt="In case of in-flight emergency, read sports illustrated." title="In case of in-flight emergency, read sports illustrated." width="400" height="304" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1683" /></p>
<p>So let&#8217;s put an end to the insanity, let&#8217;s use the power of Steve Jobs and the Apple hype machine to do some good, and <strong>let&#8217;s win us some <a href="http://www.apple.com/"><s>iMacSlablet Pads</s> iPads!!</a></strong></p>
<p><b>Update:</b></p>
<p>Okay, it&#8217;s going to be <b>20</b> of the $499 models (16G wifi-only) given away. Also note: if you don&#8217;t live in the US but give us a US mailing address when we contact you after you win, well, how are we going to know the difference? Also also note: Apparently twitter search bans some users from appearing in the results. If that&#8217;s the case with you, you&#8217;ll need to make sure your tweets have <i>&#8220;@dreamhost&#8221;</i> in them. Also also also note: it&#8217;s okay to use the term &#8220;fail&#8221; correctly, as in &#8220;I fail to see the point of twitter.&#8221; Also also also also note: you can now not use the term &#8220;win&#8221; either, at least not in the context <i>&#8220;full of win&#8221;.</i></p>
<p><b>Update Update:</b></p>
<p>Only twitter accounts with at least two tweets from BEFORE today (January 27th, 2010) are going to be eligible to win. I&#8217;m talking to you <a href="http://twitter.com/dreamhosttablet/">@dreamhosttablet!</a> Also, remember you can only enter <b>once per day</b> no matter how many times that day you tweet with &#8220;dreamhost&#8221; in it&#8230;. once again I&#8217;m talking to you, <a href="http://twitter.com/dreamhosttablet/">@dreamhosttablet!</a></p>
<p><b>Update Update Update:</b></p>
<p>Okay, we&#8217;ll now ship the winning iPads ANYWHERE! We just weren&#8217;t sure before if they were going to be tied to the US phone network or something. Since we&#8217;re doing the wifi-only versions, it&#8217;ll be fine&#8230; as long as you&#8217;re okay with the U.S. version (documentation, power cord, etc..). <s>Keep in mind though, to win <b>all</b> your posts from now until we get the iPads must be in English only (otherwise we won&#8217;t know if you&#8217;re trying to sneak in a &#8220;fail&#8221;!)</s> See below.</p>
<p><b>Update Update Update Update</b></p>
<p>Okay whiners, fine: you can post in any language, but your DreamHost-mentioning posts must be in English.</p>
<p><b>Hopefully the Final Update</b></p>
<p>Okay, Twitter accounts created since (or hadn&#8217;t tweeted twice before) the start of the contest are now okay. However, you may not tweet to multiple accounts in an attempt to &#8220;ballot stuff&#8221; the contest. We&#8217;re going to manually review all the winners as well as run some analysis on ALL tweets received during the contest&#8230; any fishy stuff will get you disqualified!</p>

<p>Yup, all <strong>FOUR</strong> DreamHost honchos &#8211; <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&#038;objectid=10620850">and Prince William</a> &#8211; are yukking it up this week in Wellington for a freaking <a href="http://www.lca2010.org.nz/">linux conference.</a></p>
<p><strong>What are we,</strong> a bunch of <em>neckbeards?!</em></p>

<p>Don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;re <strong>not</strong> just going for fun. Sage is actually <a href="http://www.lca2010.org.nz/programme/schedule/view_talk/50162?day=wednesday">giving a talk</a> on Wednesday (a.k.a. Tuesday to you <em>Yanks</em>) about <a href="http://ceph.newdream.net/">Ceph,</a> the open source <strong>infintely-scalable file system</strong> based on his PhD, which is actually super <em>AWESOME,</em> and is finally getting close to stable (we&#8217;ve been testing it internally for a few weeks now)!</p>
<p><a href="http://ceph.newdream.net/"><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ceph-logo1.jpg" alt="Why an octopus?

It&#039;s a fish, like MySQL&#039;s dolphin, DUH." width="244" height="84" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1667" /></a></p>
<p>Once the talk is done, we&#8217;ll post a link to it for more info, but in the meantime, you can register to get included in a beta test on a <strong>hosted implementation</strong> of it by emailing <i>beta@ceph.newdream.net!</i></p>
<p>We&#8217;re also interested in hearing from any <strong>hardware vendors</strong> who might like to work with us on offering Ceph on their products.. email <i>beta@ceph.newdream.net</i> too!</p>

<p>Finally, if <strong>you&#8217;re</strong> going to be at the conference look for us (wearing our <a href="http://www.printfection.com/DreamHost/1994/_s_319655">DreamHost t-shirts</a>), and if <strong>not</strong> look for us as <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/3199553/Extras-sought-for-The-Hobbit/">extras in <i>The Hobbit!</i></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/newyearsclock.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632" title="Happy New Year!" src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/newyearsclock.jpg" alt="New Year Clock" width="514" height="218" /></a></p>
<p>We have always worked hard to provide the best hosting service you can get for the money and we&#8217;ve been pioneers in offering many unique features such as Jabber IM, WebDAV, Subversion, Phusion Passenger, and our One-Click Installer for popular web applications.  We love to play with all the newest Internet toys and provide them for you to play with also.  Our attention to all the &#8220;shiny new things&#8221; can sometimes distract us from the more fundamental aspects of our service, though, and that&#8217;s why&#8230;</p>
<p>The DreamHost New Year&#8217;s Resolution for 2010 is a renewed focus on performance and reliability.  Over the last few years, we have grown in leaps and bounds and our customers&#8217; expectations of our service have grown along with it.  We have not always kept up with those expectations, and we need to put some energy into improving that.</p>
<p>Yesterday, I spent some time looking back at the <a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2009/12/30/a-brief-look-back/">past few years</a>.  We&#8217;ve had our share of ups and downs and many of our loyal customers have stuck with us through it all.  We couldn&#8217;t ask for a better group of people to work for than you.  So, looking forward, we&#8217;re going to update our methods and systems to provide a more consistently high level of service.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some of the areas we&#8217;ve already improved on, and things we will be doing over the next several months&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>We are now using a more flexible storage system so we can easily keep up with your awesome demand for data storage.</li>
<li>Additionally, our open-source next generation file system called <a href="http://ceph.newdream.net/">Ceph</a> is coming along nicely and will provide a great platform for our network storage needs in the future.</li>
<li>A lot of work has been done over the past year on optimizing and better organizing our network infrastructure.  Everything being done is laying the groundwork for major future improvements in the works.</li>
<li>By purchasing a major interest in <a href="http://alchemy.net/">Alchemy, our data center provider,</a> we can rest easy knowing the relationship will be mutually beneficial for a long time.  Our system administrators are very happy to know that we will not be <a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2009/11/24/thanksgiving-travel/">moving data centers</a> again for the forseeable future.  We have plenty of spare data center space available and will be able to grow capacity at a comfortable pace.</li>
<li>Our network connectivity has always been redundant but we&#8217;re going to kick that up another notch this year as we go multi-homed.  Once this is in place we&#8217;ll be able to withstand the loss an entire network point of presence without losing connectivity.</li>
<li>We developed an internal system to help us manage individual server stability by improving communication and reducing wasted effort.</li>
<li>We have deployed <a href="https://www.ksplice.com/">Ksplice Uptrack</a> across our system, making mass server reboots for kernel security holes a thing of the past.  The Linux kernel has been hit with a couple of high profile security exploits in the past few months and we found ourselves scrambling to patch and reboot quickly.  Never again!</li>
<li>We have a new mantra, &#8220;test, test, test&#8221;.  Some amount of testing has always been part of our procedures, but we are now making testing a fundamental component.</li>
<li>Increased focus is being put on optimizing our procedures at all levels to reduce duplicated effort and errors, while also increasing accountability.  This is not something that happens overnight and it will be an ongoing process.</li>
</ul>
<p>Having now solved our most distracting problems from the recent past, DreamHost is now positioned to tackle the future better than at any time in our history.  It won&#8217;t be easy but we have the best team in the business and a few new tricks up our sleeves on top of it.  And with that, we wish you all a very happy new year and a great 2010 (twenty-ten!).</p>

<div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebaird/2087879492/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1638" title="Riding A Wave" src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/waverider.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="236" /></a></div>
<p><strong>Power</strong></p>
<p>Starting about 4 years ago, we were battling a problem of power constraints at our data center.  That led to a general inability to provision data center space the way we wanted to and we had to become very creative to manage our system.  The biggest problems from that time were two unplanned power outages of the entire building followed by an emergency planned outage 8 months later.  Power is one of the lifelines of a data center and not being able to rely on it can be a major distraction.  It was during that period that we established our off network status site (<a href="http://dreamhoststatus.com/" target="_blank">dreamhoststatus.com</a>), which has proven to be a great asset.  Those issues are long behind us now, and looking forward we have plenty of power capacity.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1640" title="us_robotics_modem" src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/us_robotics_modem.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="386" /></p>
<p><strong>Network</strong></p>
<p>Pretty much in the middle of the power situation we were also hit with a networking problem between our two core routers that was causing serious website slowness.  We had grown so quickly that nobody really understood exactly how the network devices were interacting.  That combined with the distraction of the power situation made it take way too long to resolve the problem.  From that, we learned the hard way what we needed to do to improve and maintain the network.  Things have improved, but we were still recently hit with a couple network outages.  They were caused by human errors and weaknesses in the procedures we had in place.  We have already refined those procedures and future improvements to the networking infrastructure will also help to mitigate the potential for human error to result in outages.  This is still very much a work in progress but huge steps have been taken already and more are still to come.</p>
<p><a href="http://usb.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00646"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1642" title="usb-thumbdrive" src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/usb-thumbdrive.jpg" alt="" width="463" height="267" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Data Storage</strong></p>
<p>The next major hurdle we faced involved our data storage infrastructure.  In the early days we had migrated from disks inside each server to network attached storage for the added redundancy and to allow us to better utilize our available storage.  At that time hard drives were only 9 gigabytes and our users were generally only using a hundred megabytes or less of space.  Boy, have things changed!  We now have users with multiple <em>tera</em>bytes of data and even everyday websites sometimes have multiple gigabytes of files.  The huge growth of online video and the popularity of digital photography increased the demands on our storage infrastructure by a couple orders of magnitude over the years.  To accommodate that growth, our simple system of file servers had grown to a large network of over 100 individual servers that we had to constantly juggle data between.  The cost per gigabyte for our Network Appliance based system had also not come down nearly as fast as the per-user storage requirements had gone up, but we had become reliant on network storage for things such as backups, rapid recovery from server failures, and seamless sharing of data between separate hosting and email accounts.  We were addicted to network storage, and our next couple of major performance problems came from gloriously failed experiments with other storage products.  One of them was <a href="http://www.coraid.com/" target="_blank">cheap and unreliable</a>, and the other was <a href="http://bluearc.com/" target="_blank">expensive and unreliable</a>.  We couldn&#8217;t win!  (Note that we haven&#8217;t used either of those for awhile so both of them may work better now than they did for us a couple of years ago.)</p>
<p>Through those years that our addiction to network storage had developed, a shift had happened that we hadn&#8217;t noticed.  First, individual hard drives had dropped like a rock in price and skyrocketed in capacity.  Second, users were consuming data at such a rate that evenly utilizing our available storage was no longer a problem.  Switching back to locally installed storage was the answer we had been looking for!  We started experimenting with the new server architecture and developing a backup strategy.  Then once the pieces were all in place, we started moving forward with it.  So the storage bottleneck was resolved and we had a clear path forward, but we were still throwing out a lot of knowledge we had learned over the preceding decade and were starting over from scratch in a lot of ways.  With every technology shift comes with it a new set of problems and this one was no exception.  It&#8217;s been about a year and a half since then and we&#8217;re already on our fourth revision of the server configuration (three different RAID cards with two different configs).  The current hardware has been working out quite well but we&#8217;re doing some testing to see if it can be optimized further.</p>
<div><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1648" title="Super Micro Server" src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SYS-6025W-URB.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="222" /></div>
<p>Looking into next year, our core technology systems are under control and we&#8217;ll be able to focus more on improving the service than we have in years.  The future looks very bright&#8230;. but more on that tomorrow!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of holiday advent calendars where you open up one of the doors each day in December and get some sort of little prize as you count down the days to your favorite winter-time holiday.  In fact, last year I asked my wife to get me one&#8230; and she did!  She filled it up with all kinds of chocolatey goodies and I was a happy days-until-my-favorite-winter-time-holiday-counter-downer all through most of the month of December.  So, sort of like that, but not every day and not as chocolatey and not really actually holiday related, we have something new for you! &#8230;  Slick integration with the <a title="Chartbeat" href="http://chartbeat.com/">Chartbeat real-time analytics</a> service into the <a href="https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=goodies.chartbeat&amp;">DreamHost Web Control Panel</a>.  Chartbeat provides real-time information about the visitors to your website, including what they are doing, which pages they are visiting, and what parts of the pages they are looking at.  It also goes beyond that and incorporates information from other parts of the web like twitter so you can gain even more insight into where visitors are coming from and what they&#8217;re saying about you.  I&#8217;ve been using Chartbeat for this blog for the past month or so and it&#8217;s actually made boring old web stats fun and interesting again.  It&#8217;s a unique look at your visitors that I had never seen before.  The iPhone app with push notifications is slick, too.</p>
<p>Chartbeat is a paid service that you can order straight from the <a href="https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=goodies.chartbeat&amp;">DreamHost Web Control Panel</a>, and there&#8217;s a 30 day free trial so you can give it a go and see what you think.  The Chartbeat team would love to hear comments from our users so give it a try even if you don&#8217;t think you&#8217;d end up using it.  You may be surprised to find you use it more than you thought you would!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/terrordrome_box.jpg" alt="MY best christmas present EVER!" title="MY best christmas present EVER!" width="514" height="370" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1601" /></p>
<p>For some of you, it&#8217;s that time of the year again.. <b>holiday shopping!</b></p>
<p>I say <i>some</i> of you not because some of you are not Christian, Jewish, African, or employed, but because <i>some</i> of you are <i>not</i> <b>early holiday shoppers.</b></p>
<p>For those of us already finished with our seasonal purchases, it&#8217;s that time of the year again.. <b>holiday sleeping!</b></p>
<p>Now, when I was young, <i>early</i> holiday shopping meant at least ONE of the big boxes under the tree wasn&#8217;t filled with an &#8220;I O U: 1 Cobra Terror Drome &#8211; SANTA!&#8221; But nowadays, thanks to the influences of my lovely spouse, I&#8217;ve been able to get all my shopping (apart from gifts for her) done <i>E A R L Y.</i></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Zhu_Zhu_Hamsters.jpg" alt="Appropriately, &quot;Zhu&quot; means &quot;pig&quot; in Chinese.." title="Appropriately, &quot;Zhu&quot; means &quot;pig&quot; in Chinese.." width="463" height="457" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1603" /></p>
<p><b>What&#8217;s my secret?</b></p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy!</p>
<p><i>She</i> gets everything! Her family, my family, her friends, my friends, <i>everything!</i> The <b>only</b> thing I have to get <b>IS</b> my gifts for her!</p>
<p>And man, she starts EARLY. Like, it&#8217;s an <i>all year thing.</i> If she sees something that would be perfect for my brother in May, <b>BOOM</b> she buys it for Christmas. If she finds a sweater on sale in February that would look great on her mom&#8230; <B>POW</B> bought and stored. If she comes across an amazing deal on Zhu Zhu Hamsters December 26th.. well, they&#8217;ll probably still be popular next holidays too, right?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s <i>weird.</i> I mean, compared to how I was brought up (which I&#8217;m <i>100% sure</i> is the norm) it&#8217;s down-right <b>un-American.</b> But, I&#8217;ve slowly come around. Sadly, I&#8217;ve started to find <i>myself</i> buying things in the spring with an eye towards December. And not just me.. <b>DreamHost too!</b></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wii-large.jpg" alt="STILL trying to find a Wii? Try the DUMPSTER." title="STILL trying to find a Wii? Try the DUMPSTER." width="490" height="374" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1602" /></p>
<p>Remember in the <a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2009/11/24/thanksgiving-travel/">last post</a> when I mentioned how we bought (some of) <a href="http://www.alchemy.net/">Alchemy Communications</a> back in May? Well, here it is, December, and that forward thinking is <strong>finally</strong> starting to pay off&#8230; <i>for you!</i></p>
<p>In honor of our new relationship (and by using ex-DreamHost shared hosting servers) Alchemy has just started offering <b>Dedicated Servers</b> at pretty much the best deal you can get <i>anywhere</i> (we checked!):</p>
<li> Processor: AMD Opteron 2.6GHz Dual Core
<li> Memory: 4GB
<li> Hard Drive: 250GB SATA
<li> Bandwidth: 1TB / month
<li> OS: Linux
<p>All for just <b>$49.95/month!</b></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Elmo.jpg" alt="TMX: Toy-Master X." title="TMX: Toy-Master X." width="500" height="500" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1600" /></p>
<p>Now, these servers are from <b>Alchemy,</b> <i>not</i> DreamHost, which means they&#8217;re just hardware&#8230; meant for those that know what to do with it. But, they <i>do</i> come with great 24/7/365 (phone!) support in the same <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-colocation.html">data centers</a> we use!</p>
<p><a href="https://servers.alchemy.net/order/products_nd.php"><img border=0 src="http://images.dreamhost.com/left-signupnow.gif" alt="Sign Up Now!" height="43" width="156" /></a>  (get $5 more off when you follow this link)</p>
<p><b>Supplies are limited!</b></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cabbage_patch_kids.jpg" alt="These were worth every broken bone!" title="These were worth every broken bone!" width="492" height="289" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1599" /></p>
<p>So even if you don&#8217;t need a dedicated server now, be like my wife and <b>buy one anyway!</b></p>

We got our holiday traveling done early this year!</p>
<p>While everybody else is stuck spending the night at the airport, trying to figure out how to best spend their $15 meal voucher, catching H1N1 from the crazy <i>pig farmer</i> snoring next to them, all the DreamHost servers are going to be snug as a bug in a <a href="http://lalugs.org/">lug</a> in their <b>NEW CAR!</b></p>
<p><b>I mean NEW DATA CENTER!</b></p>
<p>That’s right, we (more or less) completed the <i>mother of all DreamHost data center moves</i> this last week, and if you’ve been with us more than a couple of months, you know the mother of all DreamHost moves must have been a <b>DOOZY.</b></p>
<p>In the last decade or so, we’ve probably moved data centers an average of <b>once a year&#8230;</b> let’s see, there’s been:</p>
<blockquote><p>
CyberG8T => caput (we called them “CyberGate-tuh”)<br />
Commotion => caput<br />
SoftAware => acquired by Digital Island<br />
Digital Island => acquired by Cable and Wireless<br />
WebVision => caput<br />
Exodus => acquired by Cable and Wireless<br />
Cable and Wireless => IPOed and got lame<br />
Switch and Data => IPOed and got lame<br />
Alchemy => still there!<br />
NaviSite => dumped their LA data center on Net2EZ<br />
Net2EZ => we just moved out!
</p></blockquote>
<p>We’ve moved data centers for a multitude of reasons, but we always knew in our heart of hearts “<i>this</i> is the <i>LAST</i> time”.</p>
<p>Recently it’s become hard, harder, and even <b>MORE</b> harder to do these moves. Not <i>just</i> because we’re getting old and flabby, but because servers in general are getting smellier as well as more sharp and covered in <b>razor blades.</b></p>

<p>Not really. Really because the <i>number</i> of servers has become more, more-er and even <b>MORE</b> more-er-er! In fact, we’re a little bit of an <i>oddity</i> among colocation customers. We’re a <b>big</b> customer, but we’re <b>very</b> price conscious (because unlike say a law firm, colo for us is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_cost">variable cost)</a> … and usually in business when that&#8217;s the case you <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_integration">vertically integrate.</a></p>
<p>We’ve been considering getting our <i>own</i> data center for several years actually! It just never <b>quite</b> made sense. We just weren’t <b>quite</b> big enough to justify the humungo capital outlays, and we just didn’t <b>quite</b> have any expertise in the electricity and cooling side of things. And besides, the market for colo had gotten so soft that the prices we were getting from all the competing providers made it <i>REALLY</i> not worth getting our own.</p>
<p>Of course, those prices are always “introductory”… and once that initial contract is up, they know they’ve got you hooked and it’s time to <b>jack up the rates!</b></p>
<p>Which is why we went into <a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2006/08/01/anatomy-of-an-ongoing-disaster/">the Garland Building</a> in the first place… I figured with four competing colo providers <i>all on the same floor,</i> we could always play them off of each other; threatening to move down the hall if one didn’t match a competitor&#8217;s offer.</p>

</script> </p>
<p>That <i>worked,</i> more or less. Of course, sometimes they called your bluff, and it was time to put up or shut up, and <b>actually</b> go ahead and move those half-ton racks of servers down the hall!</p>
<p>Never ones to be stared down, we got pretty good over the years at moving data centers. In fact, being unafraid to move data centers may actually have turned out to be one of our <i>biggest</i> competitive advantages.</p>
<p>Of course, it may have been one of our biggest <b>distractions</b> too. Moving data centers has become such a <i>huge</i> deal that the planning for moving even just a third of our footprint now occupies our <i>entire system admin team for the better part of a <b>year.</b></i></p>

<p>Which is why 2009 marked the year in which DreamHost, web master of so many&#8217;s domains, finally became masters of their <b>OWN domain…</b>  by taking a <b>large equity stake</b> in our primary data center facility, <i><a href="http://www.alchemy.net/">Alchemy Communications!</a></i></p>
<p>We consummated the deal back in May, and since then have been planning (and carrying out) the move out of <a href="http://www.net2ez.com/">Net2EZ</a> and into what is, finally, our “own” data center. The climax of which occurred this Saturday when we finally physically moved out the remaining now-defunct “spunky” servers out to the data center we have at <b>LAX.</b></p>

<p><i>P.S. I&#8217;d like to acknowledge all the great work Micah, Patrick, Jeremy K., Mike H., Jordan, Mike P., Terri, Jeremy H.,  Kyle, RK, Leon, Douglas, Brett, Sandon, Robert, Anthony, and Ken did in making this quite possibly our best and quite possibly our last move <b>ever!</b></i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We held a <a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2009/09/21/the-happy-dreamhost-62nd-birthday-contest/">t-shirt design contest</a> not too long ago and the response was overwhelming.</p>
<p>After wading through <strong>hundreds</strong> of entries we&#8217;ve finally narrowed down the winners.  We assigned each entry a year representative of its style &#8211; one for each year we&#8217;ve been in business.  <em>Every</em> DreamHost employee was then given a chance to vote for their favorites and the top performers for each decade are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>1940s</strong>, Andrea:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1948.jpg" alt="1940s" title="1940s" width="400" height="165" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1501" /><br />
<strong>1950s</strong>, Ken Grett:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1953.gif" alt="1950s" title="1950s" width="283" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1503" /><br />
<strong>1960s</strong>, Gabriel Mello:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1962.png" alt="1960s" title="1960s" width="400" height="361" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1504" /><br />
<strong>1970s</strong>, Brian:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1976.png" alt="1970s" title="1970s" width="369" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1505" /><br />
<strong>1980s</strong>, CSEID:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/19851.png" alt="1980s" title="1980s" width="400" height="397" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1509" /><br />
<strong>1990s</strong>, Jeffrey Dates:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1998.jpg" alt="1990s" title="1990s" width="400" height="363" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1507" /><br />
<strong>2000s</strong>, Pushka Ben:<br />
<img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2001.png" alt="2000s" title="2000s" width="400" height="69" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1508" /></p>
<p>Every one of these entries has won their creators a <strong>lifetime</strong> of free hosting from DreamHost!</p>
<p>You can purchase any of these printed on a shirt (or mug&#8230;or apron&#8230;or mousepad) <em>right now</em> in our <a href="http://www.printfection.com/DreamHost">online store</a>!</p>
<p>You can <em>also</em> purchase some of our <em>other</em> favorite entries from the contest that didn&#8217;t quite make the cut &#8211; and there are <strong>nearly 60</strong> of them!</p>
<p>Because we were <em>so impressed</em> with all the entries we received, <strong>all</strong> of the runners-up (designs in the store that aren&#8217;t listed above) will be getting a <strong>free year of hosting</strong>!</p>
<p>We would have liked to announce the winners much sooner, but a lot of them aren&#8217;t big on the whole &#8220;answer important emails&#8221; thing, and it took some time to get everyone&#8217;s artwork and legal paperwork collected.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re <em>still</em> waiting to hear back from several of the winners, so you won&#8217;t be able to purchase everything you see in the store just yet.  If YOUR artwork appears in the store with a &#8220;NOT FOR SALE&#8221; icon, now might be a good time to check your spam filters for the <strong><em>several</em> messages</strong> I&#8217;ve sent you!</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who entered the contest!  Now&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.printfection.com/DreamHost/"><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/enterstore.gif" alt="ENTER THE STORE!" title="ENTER THE STORE!" width="295" height="40" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1564" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/landrush.jpg" alt="Thar be .info in them hills!" title="Thar be .info in them hills!" width="528" class="size-full wp-image-1549" /></p>
<p>For some reason <strong>.info</strong> is the <em>only</em> TLD besides <strong>.com/net/org</strong> that we offer for registration (of course you can <em>host</em> any domain) at DreamHost.</p>
<p>They were just one of the first &#8220;new&#8221; TLDs I suppose. Back before we got burnt out on them all.</p>
<p>Of course, there <em>were</em> a few people who got <b>burnt</b> by .info domains themselves&#8230; by the .info <em>sunrise</em> period, more specifically. <i>The .info registry themselves!</i></p>
<p>I just got an email this morning that Afilias (the .info registry) will be <a href="http://www.info.info/sunrise_domain_reallocation">reallocating</a> a bunch of .info domains (see the end of this post for <a href="http://www.info.info/webfm_send/94">the full list</a>) that were somehow <em>&#8220;incorrectly&#8221;</em> registered during their sunrise period many years ago.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what comprises <em>&#8220;incorrectly&#8221;</em> .. maybe they just mean <em>&#8220;squattedly&#8221;</em> but the upshot is you can now submit an application to get one or more of the domains by filling out <a href="http://www.info.info/webfm_send/95">this form</a> and emailing it as a PDF as well as mailing a paper copy with a check for <strong>$250</strong> to</p>
<blockquote><p>
Attn: Sunrise Reallocation RFP<br />
Afilias Limited<br />
c/o Afilias USA, Inc.<br />
300 Welsh Road, Bldg 3, Ste. 105<br />
Horsham, PA 19044<br />
USA
</p></blockquote>
<p>by <strong>December 22nd.</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to put on the application why want the domain(s) you&#8217;re going after, and I guess they&#8217;re just going to pick whomever is most <em>&#8220;deserving&#8221;</em>. Or their cousin.</p>
<p>I just thought this was kind of interesting because Afilias is opening themselves up to a whole lotta sour grapes from all the cyber squatters who don&#8217;t get the domains they wanted. And in the end all that changes is Afilias makes a lot of $250 application fees and <em>new and different</em> cyber squatters get the domains!</p>
<p>The only way I can think of to make this fair is to just <strong>randomly</strong> assign the domains among all applications. Or, if they <em>really</em> want to hold editorial control over who gets them, the criteria should be that the requester already be running an active website on a similar domain, that they then agree to relinquish over to Afilias in return for the .info domain they will start using in its stead.</p>
<p>Then I could swap <em>information.la</em> for <em>losangeles.info!</em></p>
