推荐虚拟主机
by Yan
因为 dreamhost.com 的口碑似乎还不错,所以就选择了它。知道dreamhost有个”777″的promotion code,但是发现已经过期了。但是 dreamhost允许它的用户创建自己的 promotion code,也可以折扣不少。找了一个,这样子申请下来还是相当便宜的。
选择的是最低级的一档:Crazy Domain Insane!,但已经是相当不错了。4.8G 空间,120G 流量,一个免费域名,可以使用个无限顶级域名,无限个子域名……甚至支持Ruby On Rails。一个很好的游戏场所了。(update 9/1/2006: 现在变成20GB和1TB,同时每星期他们分别会增加160MB和8GB。)
我也建了个promotion code: MULBERRYMAX。折扣表如下:
就是说如果你申请 Yearly L1,原价:$119.40,现价:$22.40 等等
如果你想用这个推广码,可以在申请的第三步(大概),promotion code 一栏内输入“MULBERRYMAX”(没有引号)。不过要注意,这个折扣价只对新注册有效,将来续租就得是他们的原价了。另外,他们不用cpanel,用自己开发的管理面板,似乎不是很方便。但是他们有shell帐户,对有经验的人可能更有用。
当然,你也可以用 MULBERRY,我可以得到 $2 的好处,呵呵。
有没有兴趣自己弄一台主机? 如果几个人一起利用,资源基本上不会浪费,费用也差不多可承受
又测试了一下,似乎速度不是很好
期待找到志同道合的Blogger/Web App 构建者 我的skype:dbanotes
$24.40
4.8G 空间??真的假的?
Cool,我正好两台机器全坏啦,在找虚拟主机。等我弄点儿钱申请申请。看来Yearly L1就挺便宜的了。:)
Fenng,自己维护主机需要太多时间精力啦,而且一搬家就头大,这三四年我们都是用的自己在家里的server,主板换了两次,这次搬家运过来,硬盘终于罢工,算了一下要修的东西,觉得还是买外面的hosting更便宜。。。:)
我也有dh的账户,怎么自己设置promotion code啊?
Fenng, 这样的虚拟主机足够我玩了,我不开发 Web App。
zijie,是真的
dotann,申请吧。不过要注意,这个折扣价只对新注册有效,将来续租就得是他们的原价了。另外,他们不用cpanel,用自己开发的管理面板,似乎不是很方便。但是他们有shell帐户,对有经验的人可能更有用。如果你需要不高,我可以host你啊,我可以有unlimited domain name.
webleon,在home->rewards 里
谢谢!昨天通过朋友们测试了一下.速度似乎不是很好!但是也应该差不多了.
mulberry,我就想弄一个最便宜的,如果有shell当然更好,不过一定要有.htaccess,反正cpanel我也不会用。:)shell账户很贵吗?我自己还没有domain name,这个价钱没有包括domain name?
包含域名,有75个shell账户。看他们的说明吧
桑葚,我也想申请个虚拟主机来架blog,还是不明白这个折扣是怎么回事,我在Optional Promo Code:的地方输入MULBERRY就可以了么?
需要付出什么代价来得到这个折扣吗?
还有,是不是说24。4这个价格只有第一年?第二年起就没有折扣了?
那明年不是就得换地方了
不需要什么代价。
你的理解是对的,这个价格只有第一年,第二年起就没有折扣了。
我已经成功申请了,谢谢桑椹
奇怪的是大家都说777不能用了,我填了777却发现可以啊?
Yearly L1竟然只要9.24USD,我没弄错吧?
我也用了mulberry申请了,买了两年的,多谢桑椹,我是从ma-yue那里看过来的。
如果 mulberry 失效了,各位可以试试 ggwu
我也建了一个code.
freecolor, 早知道我就晚点申请了,当时试了试777,但是不行啊。各位注意,试试777。
是的,给大家证实一下,我10.14用777申请的,是可以用的,另外还有个888也可以用,不过折扣没这么低。
我用建行的不行,不知道有建行成功的不?
INVALID: It has 3 digit(s) too many. Please check the number and try again.

To: sombad,我是建行的VISA金卡,划款没问题,可以免息还款,如果美金账户不够还可以购汇还款,卡背面有七位数字,前四位是你卡号的末尾四位,后三位就是确认码
想请教一下老大将wordpress转移到新空间的详细步骤,谢谢~
blueteeth,我不知道别人是不是已经写过这方面的详细步骤,我只能提一下要点:
1. 备份你的数据库,可以用phpMyAdmin,或者新版wp 2里面带的数据库备份插件;
2. 备份你的wp文件(重要的是 wp-content 下的东西);
3. 把数据库导入新空间的 MySql;
4. 上传一份 你备份的 wp 文件;
5. 修改 wp-config.php
6. 修改 upload 目录
桑椹:
用你的折扣码申请了两年服务,非常感谢!
我也学着建了个折扣码“sintl”。怎么觉得Dreamhost有点传销的意思啊。呵呵。
有点像,呵呵
搬迁至Dreamhost…
花了三天时间终于把博客搬迁到Dreamhost,L1号主机一年使用费是$119.40,加上折扣$97,实际支付了$22.4折合约180rmb。
其实可以早些处理完,域名解析老有地区性问题,直到今天域名在我这个地区……
请大家指点一下在什么地方可以填写promotion code。 我已申请了帐户,注册域名时没有发现在什么地方可以填入promotion code. 请大家指点一下。谢了
777又可以用了,我申请了一个,只花$9。 大家可以试一下!
真想放假前自己也搞定一个
不过时间恐怕来不及了
国内就没有好点的这种虚拟主机服务嘛,其实市场还是很大的
还有别的更好的promotion code 吗?
dreamhost.com 好处是什么呢?
第二年要$114还是挺贵的呀, 另外, dreamhost.com 只可以得到 类似:www.abcd.com
不能有 类似:sub.abcd.com, 对吗?
我也买了dreamhost最便宜的一款
可是现在才发现很不爽!
第一:速度太慢,据我看来不光是国外的原因,主要是他们的机器比较兰,反应速度慢
第二:看网上很多人说,他们经常会在你3个月退款期过了之后给你发cpu占用太多的警告信
建议你升级,很小的站也经常被告知cpu占用太多
我现在又没法退款了,因为当初用的是别人的paypal
真是没钱难办事阿!
就他们这样的cpu占用限制,所谓的1000G流量,20G空间几乎没有意义!
除非你不用php mysql
可是没有php mysql的网站值得114刀吗?
see2所谓的慢是指用ftp上载东西慢吗?
可否说的详细一些
但是以我访问yanfeng.org的感觉来看,我觉得还是不错的
但是访问dbanotes.com,最近发现它就老down,不知道是虚拟主机的问题还是站长本人的问题
老客户们可以写个长时间的体验出来,虚拟主机关键还是要稳定快捷
我说的是php网站访问速度
我刚刚在dreamhost 安家, 试一下我的速度怎么样?www.weisu.org/blog

The Dark Side of DreamHost
Imagine this.
You have booked yourself and a couple of friends to this nice seafood buffet restaurant downtown. It has everything — nice food (and lots of them), good experience, live music, and the best of all — it is cheap. Costs you only five bucks to enter, and you can eat as much you want. Moreover they will actually half your bill if you bring your friends along. What a bargain.
However, when you arrived at the door and paid the admission, you noticed something. Because of this great deal, the restaurant is crowded with customers. Everyone wants to come and enjoy their cheap buffet meal, and apparently there is not enough tables to sit! People walk around carrying their plates, and some of them have just decided to sit on the floor with their oysters, prawns and lobsters. Though the food is plenty, it takes ages to queue up. Not happy.
So the management thought of an idea — how about restricting diners how much time they must finish their meals. They still provide unlimited amount of food, and you can eat as much you want, but you only have 10 minutes to eat them all. When the time is up, you will either be asked to leave, or be asked to pay extra for your own table.
Well, you can feed yourself and be satisfied in 10 minutes, if you really try. But that’s more of a “hack”, then an enjoyable dining experience.
And sometimes being on a shared host with DreamHost is like that.
——————————————————————————–
First of all, I have to admit that I had been advocating DreamHost. I welcomed their recent custom DNS change and diskspace/bandwidth increase. I loved their affiliation program — and I have almost earned enough through my promotion code to cover my one year hosting cost. They are that generous cheap buffet restaurant, and everyone loves their deals. And because of their affiliation program, no wonder everyone is saying good things about them (with their own referral code posted along side, of course).
But popularity often ends up in overselling. The box I am on might have 2x 2.8Ghz Xeon with HT and 2Gb of RAM, but at the same time it also hosts 500+ user accounts and 1,000+ websites (some might be dead accounts/dead sites)! It certainly doesn’t feel fast. Loading Playground’s index page is usually 1.5-2 second job, which is actually slower than serving from my Pentium III 450Mhz server at home, which is usually idle.
I guess one issue is how PHP pages are served. In a shared hosting environment, for security reason it is recommended to serve PHP pages using suexec+CGI, so that PHP process runs with webmaster’s uid/gid. It introduced the exact problem which mod_php was designed to solve — forking new processes for each dynamic page is slow and expensive. However, when you share a web server with 500 other accounts, you’ll rather have slow page loads than password file stolen by someone else.
The other problem is DreamHost’s CPU minutes limit, which is not really visible when you sign up. On the page it says:
We measure server resource consumption in CPU minutes. This number indicates how much time a processor spends working for your username. All shared hosting customers should use less than 60 cpu minutes per day for all their users on their account.
It turns out that 60 CPU minute is not really 60 minutes of CPU slice (which would be generous), but 60 minutes of execution time of your processes. I am not really worrying about it at the moment, but my sites, totaling only 1,000 visitors per day, are already using 15+ CPU minutes everyday, yet only 2Gb of bandwidth is consumed every month. You might have a great big buffet, but diners cannot really enjoy it due to time limits!
If you search for DreamHost CPU minutes on Google, you’ll find out many other users ran into this same problem way before their disk/bandwidth allocation has been consumed. At the end, that only means DreamHost shared hosting is only useful for small dynamic sites, or large static sites. Although by looking at the CMS packages today, it would be hard pressed to find people working on pure static sites.
What does that imply? For now, I still have lots of CPU cycle to spare, and I don’t really need to worry unless my traffic go quadrupled as well. However when my account is due for renewal, depending on my statistics then, I might consider switching to a Xen-based VPS hosting, for that root account and “guaranteed” CPU cycles.
Cannot find what you are looking for?

Yeah, the boom-bust thing seems to be an unfortunate reality of the low end shared hosting world. Whatever flavour of the month being praised on the forums or on blogs almost inevitably gains enough momentum to attract enough customers to burden them to the point where they lose whatever was good about them in the first place. They then sink back to obscurity (they are like sooo 5 minutes ago) while hype builds around this new, exciting host, which is like sooo different to all those other hosts…

The problem is, they are supposed to be the “DreamHost”, i.e. the hosting service every other geek is praising about (not sure how much of it is tainted by the reward program). Five years ago they used to be more costly but provide higher standard of service. Looks like they have gone down from there.
But maybe it can be said to all other cheap shared hosting services. At least DreamHost has stated their CPU minutes restriction (though not that up-front), and is actively policing it. Hosts that do not have such limitation — either they have not over-sold their service, or their boxes are all in terrible state.
I am not quite sure, as DreamHost is actually my first shared hosting experience.
my site serves 200 visitors /day (gallery)
but my cpu minutes were 800 seconds
what can i do,
800 秒没问题啊,他们现在的限制是 60 分钟
我刚刚在我的donews’s blog里写了这款主机;因为没有trackback功能,手动一下。
我是用“777”,九美元多,看来是时而能用的代码啊,不过真是划算啊。
谢站长回复
200ip就已经800s真让人头疼
他们其实只允许30-40分钟,
我的小站刚建就这样,估计很快就会超过,到时候怎么办啊
唉,没办法只好改成html了!
好空间一直不好找的,受够了国内的空间后,无奈想转去国外空间,但国外的貌似cpu限制严,而且dh的服务器差别很大,它们根据资金状况升级部分服务器,所以有的 db 服务器很快,有的就一般,或者说比较慢,桑葚 的服务器就不错,不过 海豚 的运气好像就没那么好了,我这里访问很慢的……
PS:我是让备案折磨死的
太羡慕了,近一年没有认真玩WP了,没想到你们都搬到国外主机去了。好爽啊。。。
可惜我是学生,没法申请信用卡~唉,无语了。
与DREAM HOST无缘啊。。
[…] 刚才在MSN上看到LVXX的签名——“谁能帮助买一个DreamHost的空间?”DreamHost优惠这事在BLOG之间是早就流传的了,而且已经有不少人转移到那里去了。甚至有人已经开始合作购买了。只是不知道这始作俑者是谁。 […]
这个空间国内访问/上传速度很慢!购买前请三思!
你好 多谢你提供的MULBERRYMAX,我也很想申请dreamhost.com的虚拟主机,可是我现在还是学生没有办法办信用卡,不知道可不可以汇钱给你(国内的银行卡或者国内的PP)让你来帮我支付?如果不方便的话也没有关系。先谢了。
你真的需要嘛?
这一年是有折扣,一年后怎么办?
好像有人在考虑合租,你可以先搜索一下。
嗯,是真的需要呢,正在筹划着做几个网站,域名什么的都搞定了,也做了大致的发展规划,可能会同时用到wiki,blog,论坛等php程序,可是国内的话完全找不到合适的虚拟主机,又不打算在站点还没有一定规模的时候就贸然的租用独立主机,所以会觉得dreamhost.com的虚拟主机是最好的选择了,何况又有那么大的折扣,毕竟自己要做的也是商业化的站点,如果发展的好的话其实$119.40的年费也并不高啊,自己是学这个的专业的,也就要毕业了,所以会很想尽力来做些什么。如果方便的话我可以发email告诉你QQ,MSN之类的IM号码便于联系。最后无论如何很高兴认识你。
我已经借到卡搞定L3了,现在777和888都能用,L1只要$9.98,L3只要$47.88。
看到你的推荐我今天申请了一个,用的是777的Code,9美元用一年玩一玩也可以阿,谢谢你!
大家怎么也不用人家桑椹的推荐码申请一个哈
起码让桑椹以后继续有打折空间用,呵呵
慢的要死啊,上传几个图片都断了N次了,怎么这么差啊!!!
