I just moved my server stuff to Dreamhost, and have had very good experiences with their user support. I'm not using it for hosting yet, but the mailing list stuff has been reliable. I used a coupon that was posted on this list a while ago, and to my surprise it worked, and got me a real good deal on the first year. Write me and I'll look it up if you need it. We looked at GoDaddy for an organization I was helping a few years ago, and they didn't at that time offer shell access, which was a dealbreaker for us. I've been using hostrocket for my website, which I was doing because another organization was happy with them. They've done a couple of fairly clueless things about mail, and there have been more security problems on their sites than I would have liked, but their uptime is pretty good, and their support is usually competent. I would have just moved the mailing lists there, but they have ezmlm instead of mailman, and while I'm sure I could figure out how to deal with ezmlm, I didn't think I wanted to train all the people who were administering mailman mailing lists on my server to deal with it. Also, there didn't seem to be any way to import the archives from mailman to ezmlm. Dreamhost was quite good about importing everything from the mailman lists that used to be on my desktop computer to the ones on their site. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad-O0WJhd4tT3hg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 The squeaking of the pump sounds as necessary as the music of the spheres.
