* Transfer speed
- My previous host maxes out my cable modem during transfers in either
direction. Using FileZilla (excellent free FTP client) I get uploads around
90+ KB/sec and downloads around 95KB/sec to 100KB/sec with my 8000K/768K
Comcast connection. DreamHost never went above 70KB/sec uploading and was an
anemic 650KB/sec to 700KB/sec when downloading.
That's not what I get here in san francisco - consistent fast.
And you can bulk-load a space delimited list of email aliases and
addresses to forward to, you don't need a lot of mailboxes to do what
you mentioned below.
I manage over 50 email aliases. Easy. As far as IMAP, I'm sure you
can work that out with support.
I stand by my support of Dreamhost.
sqb
- DreamHost allows "catch-all" addresses as above, and it offers
SpamAssassin, but not BOTH. You cannot enable SpamAssassin on any account
which has a catch-all address! This means I'm now receiving all the junk
email that in the past was being filtered out for me. I can tell you it's
very unpleasant. To get around this, I will have to set up discreet email
addresses for all those runrev@, apple@, microsoft@, and so on addresses. I
probably have 200 of them at this point, some of which I don't even
remember. I'll also have to set up a corresponding account within my email
client to check each of those discreet addresses. Not only does that make it
much harder to implement my previous scheme -- instead of just typing the
address and knowing it will get to me, I have to type the address and
configure two accounts, one on the server and one on the client (15 minutes
wasted) -- but checking for email would take much longer as my client walks
through each address/alias.
