Here at Green Man Software, we do all of our web hosting at Dreamhost. One of the things that was sorely missing along the lines of Apps, was a way to manage your Dreamhost account. Along comes the Dreamhost API, and immediately we saw a chance to fill a void in the App Store. Then to sweeten the pot a little bit, Josh Jones, Co-Founder of our beloved Dreamhost, decided to hold an API Contest to help to push along the development of applications using the Dreamhost API.
The focus of DreamAdmin was to make an App that we wanted to use, one that is very fast and has the look and feel of an iPhone app, and if others also want to use it, all the better! This App wasn’t created just to win a contest, but rather to allow Dreamhosters another way to manage their dreamhost account. Version 1.0 of DreamAdmin was submitted to the App Store on May 26, 2009.
