Setting up Django on DreamHost

I just went through this rather nice howto on how to set up Django on a DreamHost account, and I can report that it works.

I have the Django admin app running now.

Another time I’ll actually try creating an application, possibly by going through the tutorial on the Django web site.

Capistrano on DreamHost

I keep meaning to play more with Ruby on Rails when I get a chance.

It’s nice to know that Capistrano can be used to deploy RoR apps to DreamHost. That way I can develop at home in a secure environment with a comfortable development environment and then deploy to DreamHost.

Here’s a nice Wiki page on how to use Capistrano with DreamHost.

DreamHost July 4th coupon code

July 4th is a good time for sales and while I don’t have an inflatable gorilla, I do have a coupon code that can save you a bit of dough on web hosting.

To celebrate Independence Day, get $50 off any DreamHost yearly plan by entering the code AMERICA at checkout. DreamHost is the web host that I use and I have been very happy with them - both with their customer service and with the overall value of their packages. $7.95/month for 20 GB of disk space, 1 terabyte of bandwidth, PHP, Perl, MySQL, Ruby on Rails, WebDAV, Subversion, Jabber, WordPress, etc… is a great deal and it’s an even better deal with $50 off.

DreamHost just upgraded their Joomla installation:

Zen Cart

A free, open source shopping cart system. And DreamHost now supports it (they dumped their two previously supported systems, Miva and osCommerce, in favor of this one):

More DreamHost goodness

DreamHost just announced a bunch of new stuff:

  • Quadrupled disk space and octupled bandwidth - I now have 20 GB of storage and 1 terabyte of bandwidth!
  • Secure SMTP

As always, existing customers automatically get all of the new offers without even asking. It just happens and you get an email. Love these guys.
