Hi again,
Not sure when you officially left, the shell upgrade for ubintu is well
reasonably recent, but their edition of lynx is older than say the one from
a couple of months back we have at shellworld.
I am really picky about that control panel, so indeed use lynx, or more
often than not links which has a tad of scripting support.
It does work for me though, or at least for the features I need.
Now they might have insured my account worked, Dreamhost provides hosting
to nonprofit organizations. that is the domain or the domains they
host for me. I told them up front that not providing a w3c compliant door
with low graphics options was against the law and so they fixed the door
for me.
I do agree about too much stuff on the buffet so to speak smiles. but
it works in lynx for me. still my editions of lynx tend to be more
current than the ones in distributions, and I use it too here at
shellworld.
As for their hosting, yes they do that as well as serving as a regular isp.
they host my personal site, along with my having a regular shellworld
account.
Speaking only for myself, its worth the $10 or $15 or so for the hosting
with all the updated open source tools I have and the unlimited space i
require.
But that is just me smiles.
Glad the information is helpful,
karen

Hi,
Ah, that's most interesting. How did you ever manage to use the DreamHost
panel? It requires Javascript and isn't that easy to use even with
Firefox. I know because I just left them. Every month they were adding
something new and I felt they lost track of just plain old web hosting. I
don't really care about their cloud services. I did like the shell
account, but the version of Ubuntu was rather old. I didn't like their
VPS because it was limited in what you could actually do with it. They
wouldn't let me upgrade Apache, the kernel, etc because they said it would
break the VPS which was stuck on Debian Lenny at the time, long after Etch
had been released. Granted, I didn't try their panel with Lynx, but I
can't imagine it would work without Javascript. I've never heard of the
domain registrar before, so I'll go take a look. Thanks very much for the
information. I knew about Shellworld, but they are more of a shell
account provider and not really a web host from what I gathered. Besides,
they're a bit expensive if I recall correctly. This information has been
most helpful and interesting.

Hi Tony, speaking only for myself, the answer is yes. I do not host my
domains and register them with the same service. still all of the ones
I use work well with lynx, and in the hosting cases all of them
provide shell based structures that include updated editions of lynx,
and links. Plus in one case text compiled editions of elinks. my
domains are all registered with arvixe. www.arvixe.com rates are fine,
and I can just call to renew, toll free, updating information with
lynx or links as required. One of my sites is hosted at shellworld.
www.shellworld.net Admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Combines the best of both
freebds and Linux with lynx updated on a regular basis, and allot of
other tools compiled differently. As an alternative three of my
domains are hosted here. www.dreamhost.com Their shell is based in
ubintu, so does not include elinks. still I can keep all of my hosting
information up to date, use the control panel for say creating
mailboxes and the like all with lynx, links in some cases. Dreamhost
also provides a *ton* of tools I have not even tried yet for sites
hosted with them. if you have questions ask away. Hope these ideas
help, Karen
