WordPress Deluxe One-Click Install

A default WordPress installation, along with choice customizations to make it easy for beginners to get started!

Includes free, open source, themes from Automattic, a standard selection of plugins, and security enhancement.

= Themes =

Includes a selection of free, open source, and up-to-date themes from Automattic.

= Plugins =

Includes the following popular plugins:


 * Akismet
 * JetPack
 * Hotfix
 * WP Super Cache
 * MediaElement.js
 * Chartbeat

= Security Enhancement =

Includes the standard security practices followed with our standard install, plus additional protection against execution of scripts within your uploads directory.

In more technical terms, this means a .htaccess file with the following contents, within your /wp-content/uploads/ directory:

SetHandler no-handler
 * 1) Generated by DreamHost. DO NOT modify!!! ###

If your site is compromised through the placing of a malicious script in your uploads directory, the script is returned as a download when accessed. This keeps the script from running and helps to prevent further damage.

In the future, we'll be adding additional security enhancements as well!
