Tech tidbit for installing Drupal on Dreamhost
slazenger - December 1, 2005 - 16:44
I thought I should let people know that I didn't find this infobit before I installed Drupal and brought it up on Dreamhost recently. The Dreamhost techsupport folks told me that they are running a Wiki for their own services and their installation technote for Drupal was quite helpful in helping my install process go clean. (I had already downloaded Drupal and unzipped the tarball by the time I ran into it.)

Hope this helps someone.
That's a fairly well done page there.
I love this line
Probably cuts down on support calls for them.

I don't recommend Dreamhost for Drupal.
At least in my case, Dreamhost was awfully slow regarding MySQL queries. Impossible to use my drupal site even if I was the only visitor. I recently closed the account and moved to Site5, and it's a lot better so far.
I would have to agree
...though I've been with Dreamhost since 1999 and, aside from poor Drupal performance, have had nothing but great service from them, including very fast html connections (nice for media downloads). Because they're so affordable, I've kept an account with them for media servers and other web apps.

Same here
I have accounts on TextDrive and DreamHost, and if I set up identical Drupal sites on both, my page load times are 2-3 times faster on TextDrive. The difference is entirely in the MySQL queries. So I run the sites themselves on TextDrive and store large media files on DreamHost.
