Frugal in the Fruitlands is a blog about living frugally & simply in central Massachusetts. Lise is its author.

The blog is powered by WordPress, a powerful open-source blogging and content management tool.

The site is hosted by Dreamhost. I have been a Dreamhost customer for around two years now and have been completely satisfied with their services.

One of the best things about their hosting program is the availability of many “one-click installs” and upgrades of programs like WordPress and MediaWiki. This makes staying up to date easy, which is key when earlier versions of these programs can be exploited by spammers and other low lifes.

I also like how easy they make managing databases with PHP MyAdmin - you can create database tables and manipulate them without ever typing in something on the command line.

Dreamhost also offers one free domain registration when you purchase hosting from them, which is how www.frugalfruitlands.net came to be!

If you’re looking to get up and running with your own self-hosted WordPress blog, I think you’ll find Dreamhost to be an excellent solution.
