cheap thrills

Logging into my Wordpress installation today it notified me of the release of Wordpress 2.5, and provided links to where I could download the files.  As I had installed from Dreamhost’s One-Click Install panel, I went their first to see if they had the update ready, and amazingly they have.  Lone time dreamhost customers know that you can wait a chile for update to be created for their system, but this time they nailed it in under 24 hours.

One click later on the Dreamhost panel and this blog was being updated, 4 minutes later it was done, and when logging into my blog all that I needed to do was update my database (not hard – it said I needed to and to click the button – I did, and it was updated.)

Cheers to Dreamhost.

For all the dreamhost lovers out there, you will be pleased to know that they have just updated their one click install of joomla to version 1.5.  I had just finished installing it manually for a church website I put together, and was about to blog the finer details and then they updated.  I wish I had waited (and then I would have had an easy update feature) – but then again Dreamhost hadn’t mentioned a release date.  I am also happy I was forced to manually install software for the first time (not anywhere near as scary as I had thought).

If you are looking for a host for your joomla install, and wouldn’t say no to more storage and bandwidth than you will ever use aswell as being able to host an unlimited number of domains – check out dreamhost today.
