Hosting with Dreamhost (30% Discount)


Hello all

Shaun Sinclair here!

Welcome to my tech products page .I get various questions from people visiting this site and from other online/offline communities that i am a part of. Some questions are about fitness and exercise for my site www.stayfitbug.com, while others are for my relations in the tech world and my company www.seobeats.com. Because of that i decided to dedicate a page just for the people asking about tech products and services that i recommend.


Note: This is not a page for marketing or advertising. Only for products i have personally used that i recommend for all readers, visitors, those in my network and those who i know personally!

DREAMHOST

Although i am passionate about fitness along with everyone else visiting and commenting here, i do get questions about the tech industry as i have been utilizing the web for some time now. Heck, I’m using it to communicate fitness tips with you on this site and through this page!

A question i get asked a lot about is hosting, and who to sign up with. These questions mainly come from gym buddies, people into property, non technical or casual bloggers as starting a blog for themselves can be beneficial to these type of people. Just like the theme of this site, i only like to recommend products or services from actually using and experiencing them myself. There are many hosting companies to go with out there, and there are plenty of review places you can go to, to decide and choose from, but i recommend Dreamhost.

Why???

After a few years i began to learn that no matter how good a hosting company maybe, you can always fall victim to having service problems with them, such as downtime, customer service, support and other technical issues. There simply is no one company out there that is perfect. But i have been with the Dreamhost guys for some 5 years or so now, and to my disbelief they have been great THE WHOLE WAY! (touch wood :) ). I’ve hosted multiple sites over this period, spiked out traffic and all other things that you would expect to cause errors. But nope, smooth 99% of the way (come on now, no ones perfect)

That is a rare thing for sure, and i am quite a serious individual when it comes to customer service and support as i know what it is like being on the receiving end when it’s BAD. Which usually leads to some extreme use of profanity from your vocal chords.

I’m not going to say much else. But that is the answer for all those questions that i get asked and for the future questions I’m sure will get asked. Feel free to drop me a line once you have used them. Bugs out!
