How does this look?

For lack of a proper entry, which I do intend to write at some point, I'm investigating web hosting services.

[livejournal.com profile] booksymagnifico sent me a link to this website:

DreamHost


Fellow Dorks -- how does this service look? Also, am I dorky skilled enough to write my own site from scratch? Can I learn flash on my own?

Or proper PHP?

What do you need to program that isn't already existing and probably free? Check sourceforge for starters.

I won't give a perfect echo of the Flash Sucks crowd, but it is entirely overrated. And fairly complicated to do well. And entirely unnecessary. There are also applications that create quicker, easier, hackier flash shit. I can't remember the names, but a little googling should turn something up quick. Depends on what you want to do.

I agree with the dreamhost supporters. I'm on dreamhost (because the friend who hosts me is with dreamhost). The writers I intern for use dreamhost. They may not be the cheapest, but they're far from expensive. This is all moot, because you have a friend offering to host you now. I don't know why I even bothered typing that.

And now I'll shutup.
