Today we express our gratitude to DreamHost, one of our sponsors. Hosting websites for 16 years now, DreamHost offers up shared, virtual private server, and dedicated hosting to over one million domains.

Like other major sponsors, DreamHost sponsors not only WordCamp Calgary, but also WordCamps all over North America. WordPress continues to grow as one of the most important and ubiquitous platforms because of the community created through the open source development of WordPress and the ongoing education of designers, developers, and end-users through WordCamps the world over.

In addition to providing unlimited storage and bandwidth accounts for basic users (starting at $8.95 per month), DreamHost also hosts thousands of non-profit charitable organizations free hosting (US-registered charities only, mind). DreamHost also offers one-click install of WordPress for those of you who might just be getting started in learning about the tremendous power, flexibility, and simplicity of WordPress.

We’re grateful for DreamHost, whose commitment to the WordPress community means that WordCamps can continue to offer tremendous learning opportunities for minimal investment. Their direct investment into WordCamp Calgary means that we can offer a full two-day slate of WordPress speakers on a variety of topics (not to mention feeding you hungry critters), for what for many is not even a rounding error in your annual expenditures. Thanks DreamHost!
