It says that my name is taken

If you keep getting a error massage that says that the username that you choose is already taken then chances are that it is, remember that you're trying to choose something unique from all of our users on our system so names like - DavidB - Admin - Electric most likely are all taken up (each of those is indeed taken), so when you're choosing a name and keep running into this error try to choose a username that is really unique like - David417 - Admin_011 - Electric_System Also remember that this is only your username for Dreamhost.com: no one else will see this, so don't worry if it has nothing to do with your site.
