Its Dreamhosts birthday and they have two rather tempting offers both which result in free unlimited bandwidth and disk space.

The First offer is for only new users and only for a limited period of time, but if you sign up right now you can get their normal package without limits. The second offer is for everyone (including new signups) because Dreamhost are in the process of upgrading their server system they are offering anyone willing to “volunteer” unlimited bandwidth and diskspace forever.

Now there are downsides apart from the obvious “volunteering part” such as being on a shared host system. But if you need somewhere to store a large quantity of files (videos perhaps) or were looking for a good testing area this might be right up your street.

Indeed one of the major things I like about dreamhost is the fact I can host subdomains with them, allowing me access to their goodies like streaming servers, svn repositories etc. But keep my main sites on separate hosts.

To claim your Free unlimited bandwidth and diskspace:

If you are already there customers then simply log into your control panel and then accounts and click the upgrade link.

If your thinking either of these sound like an enticing offers then hop over to Dreamhost and sign up for their free, if you use the code NEWMEDIAS you also get a free domain.

note: Both offers were available at time of publishing
