I love dreamhost

with 14 comments

为什么我喜欢Dreamhost,也许它不是最稳定的虚拟主机,也许也不是最便宜的虚拟主机服务,

但是如果能够认真看他们隔三差五发出来的工作报告邮件,所有的语气都表明那是一群极度热爱自己的工作的人,有这样的一群人在给你提供服务,怎么样都是值得信赖的吧.

为什么今天又发感慨,因为又收到他们的邮件.

Hi Lori!

Ack. Through a COMPLETE bumbling on our part, we’ve accidentally attempted to charge you for the ENTIRE year of 2008 (and probably 2009!) ALREADY (it was all due to a fat finger)!

We’re really really realllly embarassed about this, but you have nothing to worry about. Please ignore any confusing billing messages you may have received recently; we’ve already removed all those bum future charges on your account (#137024) and fixed everything up.

Thank you very very much for your patience with this.. we PROMISE this won’t happen again. There’s no need to reply to this message unless of course you have any other questions at all!

Sincerely,
The Foolish DreamHost Billing Team!

起因是前几天刚收到说要charge我300多美金的邮件,但是忙于其他的事儿,我还没来得及管那封邮件,这就立刻有邮件来道歉了.道歉是应该的,即使是国内的服务商也会立刻发信道歉的,这不是感概的原因.

如果是国内的道歉信,恐怕就是”亲爱的客户XXX,对不起,由于我们的失误给您造成的不便深感抱歉,欢迎您继续使用我们的服务”云云吧,再仔细看看DH的措辞,我粗体了上面几个词,这些词让我觉得,这是多么可爱的一个团队啊.

记得不止一次夸过Dreamhost了,其实稳定性什么的我不是那么在意,过得去就行,主要是能够舒心.

– 终于有心情写点儿什么别的东西,我不会忘记你,但是我会继续往前走.

Update@2008-3-19

原来这件事情是这样的来龙去脉 – Dreamhost大乌龙事件和众生相,有意思。

Dreamhost自动扣信用卡失败,所以导致账号处于suspend状态
今天下午手工交费成功,目前已经可以正常访问了。

从昨天开始除了我自己的Firefox之外,其他人无论用什么浏览器(包括Firefox)浏览我的站点都显示空白页面,今天晚上终于查到是Wordpress的Google Analytics插件的问题,禁用之后就一切正常了。

我可以理解用其他浏览器查看跟Firefox结果不同的情况,但是为什么我自己的Firefox查看一切正常,而别人的Firefox也显示空白页呢?

钱要花的心甘情愿

with 4 comments

每隔3天会收到Dreamhost的提醒邮件。

This is just a notice that your DreamHost Account #137024
(“kamusis’s Account”) has a balance of $181.32 (including any charges not
due until 2007-02-28), with $181.32 due (since 2007-01-28).

You also have $181.32 past due (owed since 2006-12-28), and if
by 2007-02-28 you do not pay at least the $181.32 part, your
account will be automatically suspended until payment is received.

If you would like to CLOSE your account with DreamHost, just visit:

https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=billing.accounts

Log in if you need to, then click the “close this account” link. If you close
your account you won’t be charged $181.32 on 2007-02-28… please stay!

邮件意思是告诉你要付费了,但是如果你不想付费的话,那么可以点击这个链接,只要在那一天前关闭你的账号,就不会charge你一分钱的。这样的友情提示让我感觉不错,这份钱我得花,而且还花的心甘情愿。

不由对比一下国内的某些网络提供商,作的好的就是临近要付费的时候,给你来个电话提醒你该交钱了,你要是想不用他的服务了,行,自己上网找注销服务的页面去,十有八九在一个犄角旮旯里,隐蔽的特好,给你揪出来那叫一个不情愿,不是网络超时打不开页面,就是要提供这个复印件那个复印件,非整到你崩溃放弃不可。

这是作的好的,作的不好的呢,一个屁不放直接到时间扣你钱,搞到你被扣了好久才醒悟过来,心里痛骂哪个孙子干这事儿呢,脸上还得笑着请求他帮你把服务取消了。

都tm是人,差距咋就这么大呢。实诚点儿会死啊!
