Wide-eyed newcomers to the exciting world of web development are taught to specialize in one of three facets of the practice: a design and frontend development language, a backend scripting language and a database technology. Having all three in your arsenal results in elevation to the coveted position of full-stack developer. Whatever your area of specialization is, and especially if you’ve gone full-stack, being able to get a website live and learning to deal with code maintenance is essential.
SitePoint and DreamHost have teamed up to give developers, designers and entrepreneurs the opportunity to make a seamless transition from picking up coding skills to deploying their creations on the Internet. Customers will have access to DreamHost’s hosting packages at the lowest price available and one year of Premium-level access to SitePoint’s dev education library, which itself has a value of $108.
Here’s what SitePoint CEO Simon Julian had to say of the partnership:
“Our new partnership with DreamHost allows us to continue offering our audience of web and IT professionals the best available tools and resources to build innovative and smart digital tools and businesses.”

I have been a member of SitePoint for many years now and I must say that it is one of the most helpful development communities I’ve found on the internet in all my searching. I am excited to hear about this and hope that the merger goes well and can provide even more resources for the developers out there.
This is a brilliant partnership as a lot of people who start getting into coding are either coming off making a simple site or would like to make a site in the future. Recently I was giving coding a try and it seems very difficult, yet I found it very rewarding when I really got in the groove and started getting results. My experience with dreamhost was very good as well so I think they are a good company that offers satisfactory hosting. Giving them premium level hosting at a discounted rate like that is what dreamhost does best. That’s a steal. When I had a site on their servers, I was able to get a hosting account and a free domain for .99 cents for the year. Nuts!
