DreamHost offers free year of Bandwagon iTunes backup and sync service

@ Scott

I could not make TUAWREADER work but TUAWREADERS works. You have to add the S. Hope it works for everyone, Dreamhost has always worked for me!

I've been using Dreamhost for awhile and they are pretty great for the price. If anybody wants $60 off the first year of hosting there, just use the coupon code TUAWREADER and it will work.

@Eric - Bandwagon will be offering itunes syncing between Macs, a "grab a track" feature between Macs and web listening. Backup is also continuous and automatic (no manual intervention needed).

I have been a Dreamhost customer for nearly 2 years now and have found it to be a fantastic host. I had used various other hosts before that and they weren't even close. Honestly, I think that DH is a rare example of a company that tries to make decisions that benefit the most people and provide the best services.

On the other hand, I signed up for this Bandwagon thing but I have to be honest, I don't get it. Why I can't simply run Transmit on "Sync" between my machine and a dreamhost account I create is a bit beyond me?? I don't see why I should pay (eventually) for a piece of software that is basically an FTP client with this iTunes specific filter on the side. Perhaps for some people it is easier and that is worth it to them.

Well, this might be a good push for me to try out the DH service. I've been looking through and I've only found DH to be in my list of prospectors. I'll see what I can do. =)

If I'm using Dreamhost to store the backed up content, how does Bandwagon justify charging more than a one time fee for their client?

Can I just get the current client for free, and keep that version a year from now, without getting any of the future updates?

Bandwagon is great, however I had nothing but problems with Dreamhost when I used them, and their customer service/support was absolutely abhorrent. Wasted days of time. Just a fair warning based solely on my experience - may be better to buy the year at Bandwagon and skip the hosting!

Does bandwagon support SFTP connectivity? As a rule, I do not use unencrypted protocols anymore.
