By sheer luck, I read a message someone wrote about dreamhost.com. They are a hosting company who is celebrating their 7th birthday with a crazy sale. The first 777 people to sign up for their crazy domain insane hosting plan can get it for $0.77 a month! I signed up for it a few minutes after checking out the details. It also came with a free domain, I chose sproutpics.com.

So far it's been great. Sproutpics is now running with a simple gallery program I threw together. It's got some pictures I took with my new camera. I have 800 megs of space to play with on there. And I can host up to 3 domains there.

Dreamhost is a cool community oriented hosting company. They have forums, and you can suggest stuff for them to add to their hosting packages. You can vote on what new stuff you want them to add, and they pick favorite hosted sites of the month.

Despite how great I think this all is, I still haven't convinced anyone I know to get their own account. A 4 pack of rechargable Energizer batteries costs more than it cost me to run this new website for the next year.
