From kragen@dnaco.net Thu Sep 24 14:25:24 1998 Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 14:25:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Kragen X-Sender: kragen@pike To: sales@dreamhost.com Subject: questions Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Keywords: X-UID: 2123 Status: RO X-Status: How's your uptime? Do you have any clients who use Phil Greenspun's Uptime service, or something similar, that I could use to see how many outages you have a month? You say, "anyone reported to have spammed will be immediately removed from our server without a refund.". Does that mean I can shut down any dreamhost domain by filing a false spam complaint? How many customers do you have? I see that you support SSI and CGI. Do you support PHP or FastCGI? Do you provide any database access? (I assume not, but you say you're willing to install things on the server for people, and I can't imagine that nobody's asked for these yet.) How often do you get cracked? How many machines do you have? Do you do referer logging? I like to see who's linking to me. If I were to register a domain with the InterNIC and have you host the web site, and then later move it to somewhere else, there wouldn't be an interruption-of-DNS problem while the InterNIC uses its patented Slug-Based Computer to update their DNS records -- right? Do you charge extra if I want extra DNS records for my domain, like a few A records? How long have you been in business? Your prices for big hunks of space are incredibly nice, and your four-DS3 connectivity is also incredibly nice.
