It certain has been getting easier lately to use an detail with web hosting behemoth DreamHost to back up your Mac. We found some good ideas for that back in April, but now DreamHost has gone one step further and partnered up with Bandwagon, a web-based iTunes backup service we found in March. In one of their annoyingly lengthy blog posts (scroll to the end of it), DreamHost unveiled that they are now offering a free one-year membership to Bandwagon’s DIY services to all DreamHost customers, available through the end of July. that is a great deal, particularly whether you have both an expanding iTunes library and a massive chunk of storage at DreamHost just waiting for something to do.

To access the offer, current DreamHost customers need only to go to the new Partners Page in the DreamHost control panel, next visit on the Bandwagon logo to be taken to the Bandwagon signup page with the

coupon cipher already inserted. The rest of the setup is pretty straight-forward, though I think I should share the solution I developed for a slight snag I ran into: For whatever reason, Bandwagon’s FTP client couldn’t log into my DreamHost explanation to start uploading my iTunes library until I created a type new FTP user. I don’t know whether that will hold true for everyone, but it’s probably a good view from a protection standpoint anyway, take that advise how you will.

So far, after finally signing up for Bandwagon and getting everything going, I’m pretty happy with the service. Bandwagon’s explanation manager can display statistics of what kinds of documents and how many you have stored online. I’ll have to see how the rest of the upload process on my 6396 item iTunes library fares before I say much more, but until next that sounds like a great deal that DreamHost customers shouldn’t pass up.
