A Comments Expirement
After moving to Dreamhost and having the chance to look at the built-in web server log analyzer I’ve discovered that I have way more traffic than I thought. The stats seem to indicate that I actually get more traffic than Aoife’s blog, which I would have never expected. Especially since I hardly get any comments.
The current theory is that no one comments because they have to create an account. Truthfully, that’s probably a damn good reason. I know I wouldn’t bother creating an account on random other blog just to say hi.
So, I’m just about to uncheck the box that requires an account to comment here. If I get too much comment spam, back on it goes. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

how you like dreamhost so far? Other than the having to wait 10 minutes to an hour or so for new features to take effect, I simply love it. Especially the shell accounts.

The lag is annoying in some cases, but it’s not really that big a deal.
I was worried about bandwidth, since my previous host had no limit… but that proved to be unfounded. I’m nowhere near even impacting the “extra” monthly bandwidth they tack on for every week you’re with them.
I’m very happy with the support service so far. I like the fact that they usually know about downtime before I do. That was never the case with the old host.
Thanks for the referral code, BTW.
