[JDEV] Dreamhost goes live

[Michael Brown]

It's worth noting that you can't register new accounts from a client, you
have to do it though the web based interface which might slow you down.
(This is to stop unauthorised people creating accounts against your domain)

They haven't specified a limit on number of user accounts, but if people
start going crazy, I would expect to see one come into effect - in the same
way they limit the number of email accounts per hosting plan.  For
comparison, the plan I am on (Sweet Dreams) has a limit of 60 email accounts
(unlimited aliases) and 15 shell accounts.

If you have any questions you can email me, or post them to the Dreamhost
forums (might be good to get a bit of a discussion going there to educate
the natives :-)
