[...] I envy the great Mike Abundo for his blog is hosted on a host that is not only reliable and delivers great service, it is also now carbon-neutral. [...]
you should know that an I.S. security professional I know recently tested several popular host providers out there. DreamHost was the most hackable service he tested. if you know your way around a Linux shell, even using basic commands taught in freshman year CS classes, you can get into other accounts and do some damage. I would re-evaluate your opinion of Dreamhost. a lot of these super-huge providers lay on feature after feature and assume their users don’t know much about computers; it is a dangerously misplaced emphasis. after what I saw him doing, i was stunned how simple it is to compromise almost any web account at Dreamhost.
Thanks for the tip, Andrew. I’ll look into it.
