Attention DreamHost customers
Kevin Dangoor
sarcasm there, I got quick and useful responses). The person I was
corresponding with was recommending that I *not* run TurboGears at
DreamHost. He said that they had to come up with some special config
for Rails, because it was really beating up on their machines. He (not
being one of their admins) wasn't certain what they had done for
Rails. Odds are good that whatever technique they used there would
apply to TG as well.
DreamHost has offers an exceptionally good value for the money and,
from what I've seen, they even provide some speedy support for such an
inexpensive service. The person I emailed with suggested that a user
uprising asking for good support of Python frameworks would help.
So, if you're a DreamHost customer trying to run TurboGears, you might
want to let them know. From the conversation I had, this also applies
to Django.

You don't mention mention why they recommended *not* to run TurboGears on their machines. Was it just because this guy knew their admins had tweaked for RoR? If so, it looks a bit like FUD.
Guess this only applies to their shared hosting too - not their dedicated servers.

I'm not so sure about the FUD thing. Running TurboGears and Django at
Dreamhost has been a headache. I keep thinking it has to be how they
have FastCGI configured, but I really don't know. I keep seeing folks
complaining about Dreamhost funkiness on the Django list and I'm pretty
sure I see fairly regular complaints here, as well. Better support
would be good. I'm going to have to drop them a line and see what's
up. Thanks for the heads up, Kevin.

mine if you have a hard time coming up with something to write :) I
expect you'll get a better response if you send a message using the
'Contact Support', which creates a ticket for them to look at.

I hope this is a new issue because a while ago went 0.8 was still hot i think, I email back and for with one of their reps. and he said they didn't had any problems with TG. I even ask if 0.9 was a problem and he said that all i had to do was download the eggs

gets resolved (and they upgrade to 0.9x). Can DreamHost customers
using TG email the group to inform us on the status of TG issues with
DH?
Slightly off-topic...
For those interested in DH and wanting to save some money, I saw the
following promo codes on a deal site to use to sign up to DreamHost to
get money off:

As I said I have not yet signed up for a DH account so I cannot say if
these promo codes work or not.
Ciao for now,

I haven't heard any new news from DreamHost. One thing to note is that
the person I was talking with was pre-sales support, so it wasn't like
I was talking to a sysadmin. Still, they can't be *that* big a
company, so I think some of what we talked about leaked through to the
sysadmin.

If you find a DreamHost promo code somewhere that you'd like to use, I
can match it. The link on the TG site helps support the project, but
it appears that I can create promo codes that support the project a
bit less but save you some money.
