Performance on Dreamhost

If you think on shared hosting on Dreamhost, as I know, you can't install eAccelerator (or anything like eAccelerator).

hello,

i used the hiveminds tutorials to install eaccelerator on dreamhost and it works perfectly!

I chose dreamhost because it seemed it was the only host allowing to install an accelerator on shared hosting and i didn't want to invest hundreds of dollars on a VPS for quite the same results. If my sites need such an (financial) upgrade, then ok. But for test purposes, no!

Here's the wiki of dreamhost related to eaccelerator

BTW, i contacted the admin of this Drupal site (he posted a job offer a few weeks ago, looking for someone to improve performance) : http://www.rue89.com/

He told me they used APC (http://ch2.php.net/apc) to solve their problem. Just visit the site and see how quick it responds! It seems to be a good alternative too.

Here's the wiki of dreamhost related to APC

Enjoy the install!
