| www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2008/05/huge_web_hostin.html DreamHost must have never imagined that so many people would use its Web-hosting services and choose to use its e-mail product. The request comes from DreamHost's co-founder, Josh Jones. Jones writes, "Just over HALF of all the support requests we get are about e-mail. Everything else we offer, combined, doesn't add up to the amount of trouble, expense, use, and effort that goes into 'simple' old e'mail. And that's kind of funny, because as far as I can tell, almost nobody CHOOSES a web host based on their e'mail features. " Jones is basically admitting that DreamHost can't handle (or didn't anticipate) the business it is getting. It would be a much happier outfit if it could concentrate on hosting Web sites and not answering support calls for e-mail problems. Jones goes on to say, "It's just not something people are looking for from us, and it's something the big, free e-mail providers like Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google can do better. In fact, as you've maybe already seen, we recently made it very easy to use Gmail for all your e-mail hosting with us, still at your own domain!"

It has been hacked into over and over and over again this year, with down time of over 10 days this year. The servers are way over subscribed (100X worse than soda) so keyboard response time lags by seconds. I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet. What's the best link to self learn stuff like k-means, clustering with gaussian mixtures, gaussian bayes, EXPECTATION MAXIMALIZATION, EM convergence, inference engine, classifier, desnity estimator, regressor, etc? entry=43853 In addition you can't run any script longer than 30 seconds. They subscribe hundreds of power hungry users on each machine and the load is always consistently above 100, and slow. You can't even run sa-learn and grep because their monitor script will kill all of your processes. Also they do a reboot every other day because they don't know how to keep their system up. Just as an FYI, mail is local and home dirs are remote mounted, so any locking issues would be if you have a procmail or similar script handling your mail. The code is something like this (there can be multiple instances of this perl script running hence the lockfile) open (LOCKFILE, ">lock_file"); Or failing that, openssl or gnupg \_ openssl or gnupg...
