DreamHost Newsletter - February 2007

This month’s Mexican themed newsletter :

  2. Upgrades
    - WordPress, ZenCart and MediaWiki one-click-installs has been upgraded in January
    - Ruby on Rails has been upgraded and a number of new gems has been installed
    - PHP 5.2 and Zend Optimizer 3.2.2 is being rolled out the upcoming week.
  3. Webmail
    Two more webmail machines has been added to the load-balanced webmail cluster, which should have improved the webmail performance dramatically.
  4. SFTP users
    You can now choose between three types of user accounts:
    - FTP accounts - file transfer access only
    - SFTP accounts - sftp (SSH ftp) file transfer access only
    - Shell account - allows FTP plus ssh/telnet access
    The new SFTP account is great if you want to take advantage of the increased security of a SFTP account, without giving the user a shell account.
  5. Promo codes in referral links
    You can now include a promo code in rewards link, so the promo code field on the signup form will be pre-filled with that code. Just use a link of the following type:
    http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?USERNAME/signup|PROMOCODE
    Complete instructions
  6. DHSOTM
    DreamHost Site of the Month: Lifeshots
