[NTLUG:Discuss] Web hosting.

[Jason Mock]

I was going to mention that I've been using hostgo.com for quite some time,
due to elimination of the hosts recommended on the gallery project's
website.  Half the reason I use them was originally because of the storage
space available, at a reasonable price (at the time).  Now while they've not
been the fastest service I've ever seen, they've been pretty reliable with
pretty fast customer service.  But that I just looked at that dreamhost...
20gb for 7.95 a month?  Does anyone know if they have all the back-end apps
to support gallery2?  (I.E.  jhead, imagemagick || netpnm (or what ever it's
called), and etc...).   Pretty much a requirement for me, but at that kind
of storage I would be willing to switch.  Otherwise I have liked host go for
some time as the ssh access makes modifications a snap using sshfs.
