Gitosis - DreamHost
Good instructions for setting up a git repo (with Gitosis) on Dreamhost. Not a fan of Dreamhost at all for hosting, but it’s occasionally suitable for side-project, non-critical repos. Except, of course, when my load is over 200 — which it has been more than once — and my repo commits (not surprisingly) time out. Still, for $9 a year*, it’s significantly cheaper than github (although github has some wonderful value-adds).
* $9 a year price requires some quasi-ethical shifting about of accounts and some administrative cost, as that’s an introductory price tied to your credit card number, email and username. Formally you are not allowed to re-host domains on more than DH account, although I’ve heard tell this is possible. I mainly use DH for repo storage and a tiny bit of staging/test/demo, and have not dealt with this problem.
