I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Jessica, were you the one who recommended Dreamhost to us? If so, thank you! ND and I are both using it now and love it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Probably not, because I switched to it on the recommendation of someone here too. Maybe Dana?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I use it for my Provocateuse site, and really like it.

I'm not sure why Buffistas isn't hosted there. But I'm too lazy to properly consider a switch right now. I should go back and look at their plans anyway.

Our wings are not tired

Dreamhost is mostly shared hosting, they have dedicated machines, but it isn't their focus and the rates on the dedicated machines aren't great. I believe we didn't go with Dreamhost for b.org because we wanted a dedicated machine the last time we switched.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

::snarl::

I still have no sound. Everything's plugged in properly, the speakers make hissy noises when I unplug and plug them, and a virus scan shows clean. I turned it off and left it off all night, and have restarted once since; no luck. Any other ideas? I don't even know where to start.

I just went and peeked and they don't offer PostgreSQL and don't seem to intend to. I can't explain why even if we don't go that way I want a host that will.

It's a whole package thing.

Still perfectly happy with them for provocateuse. Nice, simple, clean, tidy.

Zen,

you don't happen to have another software program open that is interfering with sound? For instance, Total Recorder takes over sound when it is open and won't let me play anything through other software programs.

Open Volume Control, then Properties and tell us what you see.

le nubian, I just checked the thing in the control panel and it was set on Mute. I didn't do that! WTF. But I unchecked the Mute box and I have sound again. I'm grateful it was an easy fix, but I'm baffled as to why it happened at all.

Thanks!
