Re: [PLUG] Suggest a Host


The basic Linux commands are the same. The only differences between distributions are the system utilities used to setup and upgrade the system. Like Redhat uses the rpm package management and debian uses dpkg with apt as the front end.

What it boils down to is what packages are installed on the system, like what editors, mail server, web server, database, and whatever is needed for the cliants needs. For web hosting, is php installed and if so what version? These are questions that you should ask to make your decision.

I'm thinking about recommending http://dreamhost.com/ to a customer for Web hosting. It costs $9.95 per month. They use Debian servers and offer Samba access. Some questions:

How different will it be to work on a Debian server compared to a Red Hat server?

Does anyone have experience with DreamHost?

Does anyone know of a good or better Web host?

(This is also a mail ML test.)
