For the past few weeks, I tried to upload all my profile data to my Dreamhost ssh account. You know, actually using some of those hundreds of gigs they advertise. I’ve been patiently rsync-ing a few hundred megs daily, and got trough a few gigs. Speed-wise, it’s no steekUP, where you get speeds close to whatever your broadband providers give you.

Here’s what the nice people at DreamHost said today on the DreamHost Status Blog:

Please note that DreamHost services are intended for the purpose of hosting web sites (item #6, Material Products), and files uploaded to your accounts should be provided with the intent of distributing them to others from your hosted sites. With exception of our Files Forever service, we do not support the use of our hosting services for personal file storage or back-up purposes and the use of your hosting account for that purpose is prohibited.

I’m very disappointed with them. Switch is a bitch, but I guess they wont let me a choice.
