Right this is the first time I’ve sent an actual question/request to Dreamhost since I started with them a while back. The question was why we don’t have pspell module on the server. One of the things that I would love to have in Shuttle would be the facility to have a spell checker, like the one used by gmail, however as I’ve found out for myself that requires certain things to be installed on your server in order for such things to be feasible.

It’s a crying shame, since it’s freely available and part of php, so I’m perplexed it’s not installed as standard. Now the nice people at Dreamhost have contacted me in less than 12 hours asking me what the modules are and that they should be able to get it up and running, hopefully. Let’s see. It’s really a test for many things. Your web hosting selection goes through a real test when there’s a problem or a question or feature at hand, and how they actually go about it and deal with it is what makes you decide to continue with them or move to greener pastures.

Lack of support issues where what made me leave my previous host. It’s intersting since the DO forums have been playing up big time in the last couple of months with constant down times. MT ain’t so great after all :).
