Hi
Do you open UDP ports on your servers if requested?

Domain Registration Only

Hey all, I'm just curious about the "Domain Registration Only."

What's included in that? I'm just interested in having dreamhost as my registrar as I'm hosted somewhere else.

Fear and moving site? Wordpress

I was not sure where to post this, so here it goes. I am already a member, however I am overseeing a 1.5.1 Wordpress site on another host. I want to move the Wordpress site to Dreamhost. Now, whats the easiest way to move such a site over without losing all its content. I am nervous because the site has over a quarter of a million hits on it and has had content added to it for about 6 years, and so losing any data would be terrible.

Can anyone point me to a safe procedure. Id like to get it up and running as a copy of the original site and then transfer the domain and sync it all.

Wisdom is appreciated! Mkwick

I sent 5 emails to dreamhost support last week over 7 days due to problems not being able to log into the web panel - and to date I have received a total of 0 responses. Nothing! NADA! Anyone else had such good service lately?

I couldn't log in so I couldn't open a ticket - dreamhoststatus had nothing on it so there was no way for me to address the problem other than send an email from a previous complaint to the support team. I still can't access the webpanel from the main dreamhost.com page and get an error when I try to log in or send myself a password reminder. The only way I've found to get into the site is to hit "contact us" on dreamhost.com front page and then log in from the webpanel on the side.

xx CPU minutes, how much is that ?

Hello,
I'm a potential customer for Dreamhost and I've been reading a lot of stuff about their (/your, depends on who you are) business. The CPU minutes things bothers me a bit because I had never heard of it before (I'm not very experienced and I suppose it shows).

The website I plan to host would come with a discussion board (which I coded myself) relying on PHP and MySQL. All those posts about MySQL and excessive CPU minutes make me wonder if my board is going to cause issues because I am not used to this measurement at all (so maybe my question is going to sound totally stupid).

Let's say my discussion board is similar to phpBB (a bit simpler though), and that it gets around 200 unique visitors (users) per day. Would that run fine ?

PS : Excuse my poor english, this is not my first language.

questions for potential new user

Hi- I have been using PowWeb for myself and my clients for about 7 years- overall been good but considering switching to new preferred host for various reasons.

1- email box sizes- what are the max email inbox sizes and are they user defineable?
2- referrals- is there a referral system and what sort of incentives are offered?
3- FTP usage- can I use my FTP to store whatever files I like or is it limited to website related materials?
4- can I manage more than 1 hosting account from a single web control panel?
5- can I have more than 1 credit card on file with separate billing addresses, etc.?

Thanks-

Om
