一年前的 10 月 12 日，我开始把 Blog 逐步迁移到 Dreamhost 上。关于 Dreamhost 的一个简单介绍参见《站点迁移到了国外》。
一年中关于 Blog 的一些数据变化
PV 现在是去年同期的 300%，每月超过 30 万 ;
FeedBurner 显示的订阅数量涨了大约 10 倍,现在是 1200 左右;
从 Dreamhost 得到的引荐费是 $53 (我创建的优惠代码是 FENNG ) ;
现在 dbanotes.net 粗略监控到的可用性大约在 99% ;
当时花费的成本是 $24, 一年后大约 + $80 ;
收益……暂时保密
(我还放置了其他几个域名，就忽略了)
Dreamhost 当时存在的几个问题与现状
1) CPU 使用限制。刚使用的时候 Dreamhost 还有 CPU 使用限制，超出 CPU 使用时间先是警告，然后可能收费。没过多久 Dreamhost 就解决了这个问题。不过所在的虚拟主机上其实还是存在软限制–某个进程占用额外资源会被系统自动 Kill 掉。对于这一点我倒是很理解。毕竟资源是共享的，如果有个别人占用大量资源，对其他人是不公平的。
2) 系统负载偏高。很多人共用主机，肯定会有人的资源占用偏高，即使是无意为之，可能是使用的插件效率不好，或者是遇到了图片盗链什么的。有几次 Awstats 后台的统计数据出不来，非常恼火。后台添加Blog、前台留言也会频繁遇到 HTTP 500 错误。也或许是 Dreamhost 发现了我的苦恼，所以前不久通知我说：
This message is just a quick note to inform you that your account
has been moved from topanga to munchies. If you did not request this move,
do not fret. It is just part of our efforts to spread load and make your
hosting experience more pleasant.
这的确使我很 “pleasant”，最近一段时间稳定多了。Dreamhost 做的这个努力使我乖乖的交第二年的钱 :)
关于 Dreamhost 的客户支持与改进
我所能提交的都是电子邮件请求，反馈相对比较及时。而且质量很好。基本上一封邮件就能解决掉问题。
Dreamhost 在虚拟主机的技术方面绝对是不错的，而且，始终能看出来他们的改进努力，对于个人用户来说，用到的软件基本上都可以通过”一键安装”实现(MT 除外)。 我没有用过国外其他的虚拟主机服务，或许别的更好也说不定.
暂时想起来这么多，朋友们想了解些什么我明天继续说.

向你学习拉.
CPU 使用限制的问题到底解决没有啊？我也想购买DH的主机？请问一声！
优惠代码FENNG可以节省多少？一般上传有多少K啊？？
CPU限制已经没有了。
上传观察到100K左右，要大文件，如果都是碎小的文件，可能会慢一些
使用 “FENNG” 优惠代码只需要 $22.40。
dreamhost个人用起来感觉只适宜静态站点啦，动态的不是很好，而且，有些功能被限制使用了
那些功能被限制住了呢？信口胡说似乎不好
CARE!! Dreamhost is stealling domain name!!!

This account was closed for suspected fraud. We will not be able to
release the domain registration.

stolen credit card.

No. We will need to see your US ID in the name of “Jerry Smith” with
the
address you gave us when signing up. If this information is false, you
committed fraud, which simply supports the reason your account was
disabled in the first place.

Hello, but you said it’s about my credit card, right? So now I can prove that I am the card holder, then what’s the matter, what fraut is this? And what’s this related to getting my domain name back?? I use my english name register several domanain never have problem, I am not US resident, I dont have a US ID card, you never ask I have to use my name on the ID card to singe up, but all my Credit card info is correct, including holder’s name, and billing address, and I don’t think this will be the excuse that you steal my domain name from me, it’s not logical. I pay you guys to register the domain name but not pay you to check all my privacy, the credit card payment via google checkout has no problem, I did not do any fraut, you refund my money by yourself and now I lose my ownership of my domain name, what a hell is this?? Do you get an phone cal that I can talk to some supervisor please, I want resolve this problem as soon as possible, thank you.
Then NEVER REPLIED……….I just feel my domainame will never come back, is it fair????
