I would like to let you now DreamHost has just activated my account. They have also revised my billing date to reflect this week's wait.

This may be the start of a long lasting partnership.

Thank you for the help everyone...

Just one more question before i leave you all alone,

One of my sites is currently hosted on Dreamhost.. But it's not my account.

I won a contest on a forum (costume contest), and received free web hosting. The only problem is that I do not have admin rights, and such.

My question is, would I be able to transfer that site automatically, or would I have to do something different.

Just a note: users who already have a domain on our system are not elibgible to use promo codes or give referral credit. In order to move your domain to a new account it will need to be a fully paid account.

Your situation is of serious concern to me. We recently signed on with LunarPages because of their "amazing" offer. They could give us 50Gig of space (even tho we needed 200gig+) but would guarantee a transfer of our entire site by their techs within three days *if* we signed on to a two-year plan. To make such a move we'd have to hire a programmer and to reset the pathway in our store, ads and writer's scripts the cost savings offered by LunarPages was advantageous. We signed on, provided every bit of access information they would need to make the physical transfer and waited. And waited. And waited. Emails, phone calls, emails, more emails but two weeks and nothing.

We yanked back our two-year contract fee and within two hours they were calling with lots of apologies and pleading us to reconsider - that we got lost in the cracks, tech support had been severely dealt with for being so flippant with us but we stood fast and said "no way" because if we were being treated like this coming in the door, we could only expect worse down the road.

To some people who do this kind of thing as a hobby, may be retired with little to do but futz with their website or blog all day long being inconvenienced for a week or two is livable. To those of us who depend on making sales each and every day, hourly if possible, just to pay our rent and hosting fees, it means web life or death. Two weeks could be the seal of death to our business.
