Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
Just about to sign up as they have an offer atm, 1 year hosting with free domain for under a tenner :D
Just wondering if the domain and everything is private? I am signing up for the 2 week trial and they want all my details but i haven't seen mention of a privacy option yet?

"Free Domain WHOIS Privacy"

yes.

Host Gator...
Hands down.
Re: Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
I couldn't find any info on HG about privacy?
Just signed up for hosting with free domain registration with dreamhost :D Set up my first email, looking into google adwords, and i'm ready to go! :D
Re: Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
most hosts offer the option of making your whois info private, you just have to enable it (and it normally costs $10 or $15/yr extra).
Re: Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
I've used Dreamhost for a few privacy-sensitive websites. It's reliable.
Re: Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
indeed, that's what I use.

Dreamhost for the win.
Unlimited hosting (meaning you can put as many domains on your 1 hosting plan as you want, all unlimited) for $120/yr.
$9.95/yr domains INCLUDES privacy as default (unlike most registrars that charge extra for privacy)
Wordpress and a ton of other goodies available for free install, at the click of a few buttons.
Live online support via chat (not 24/7 - I find them online usually during very late-night hours US time)
They have a whole huge wiki that explains their services, and a forum.

MissKatie, I'm assuming that since you've posted your site link that you figured out the hosting question. If you have others I can probably help, as I'm in my dreamhost panel pretty much everyday :D

Thanks hun, yes I went with dreamhost for hosting and got a free domain name through them, all with privacy :D I did the one click install wordpress thing, but I'm now finding i can't download any of the other one click things as it says "wordpress is already installed on this directory".
Re: Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
^That's because the one-click things require a database, and you can only install one database per directory. All you have to do is create a new directory on your domain, and install the new thing there. You can create as many directories on your domain as you want - it's basically like creating a folder on your computer.
What are you trying to install?
I highly recommend FireFTP (it's a free Firefox add-on) to access your site via FTP, btw. Once you get that setup it's the easiest way to create/delete/change directories and upload stuff to your site.
Re: Is Dreamhost domain and hosting private?
Oooh fab :D I just want some of the stuff advertised on the one click page, like the traffic stats etc. Didn't realize it was that simple lol. I'll have a look now for FireFTP, thanks xx

I love dreamhost - I shopped around for a site that would allow semi-nudity so i use it to capture my customers in the wild, and then i set them up with private vip sessions via skype. it works out great and the price ain't bad either. The customer support is fabulous. i just wonder how much nudity i could get away with, hmmmm
