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.

We are on the server goatsbeard.dreamhost.com , with the following accounts:

• verkor for the 2011-2013 sagamorehillspta.org Wordpress site
• sagamorehillspta for the 2013-2014 test-wordpress.sagamorehillspta.org

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.
