Here's how the Sagamore Hills PTA in its online efforts uses Dreamhost.

Services

Dreamhost account #1166210 "Sagamore Hills PTA" does:

Accounts

Web ID

A DreamHost Web ID is a unique identifier that allows access to DreamHost's systems. The PTA uses a single Web ID.

Web ID
communications10
Email
communications@sagamorehillspta.org
Password
See Sagamore PTA passwords

Server

Server accounts are on the actual machine hosting services (such as a website). Probably not needed unless ftp/ssh access is needed (see the Dreamhost documentation for FTP, SFTP, and shell). The same account can host multiple domains/websites (but multiple server accounts cannot manage the same domain/website), so we'll probably just have one.

See the Password file

Wordpress

See the Sagamore Hills PTA website page (an example of an Dreamhost application user).

Database

The single MySQL database account, sagamorehillspta, is used by the PTA's Wordpress site (an example of a Dreamhost MySQL user).

Log

The log account, sagamore, is used to view website-access statistics, such as those of the PTA's website (an example of a Dreamhost stats user).

Billing

Since the PTA is a nonprofit, there is no charge under Dreamhost's nonprofit discount (established mid 2013) for their "Happy Hosting" service.

History

  1. 2014-08 Move account ownership to communications@sagamorehillspta.org from Vera Kornylak (done by Dave Barker, see the email thread for details)
  2. 2013-06 Stop paying for service (non-profit) [1]
  3. 2011-07 Dreamhost use was initiated by Vera Kornylak for $120/y.
