12 hour downtime with Dreamhost - GoFuckYourself.com

INever · 03-22-2008, 10:34 AM

That's the last time. A planned outage and they didn't even send out an email to notify. Is that typical of all hosts?

My question is:
A-Does Dreamhost really suck by being down for maint. for 12 hours?

B-Who's better for the same price?

try the 6.95 stuff in my sig ....

Chef86 · 03-22-2008, 10:37 AM

I suggest Phatservers I never had any downtime with them. That sucks having a 12 hour downtime especially if your site is high in traffic. Every minute counts when it comes to making sales.

D Ghost · 03-22-2008, 10:37 AM

yes Dreamhost really sucks

... same price as Dreamhost .... ???? dont think so ....

pinkz · 03-22-2008, 10:50 AM

i was also down on dreamhost but i do remember recieving an email about 3 weeks ago about server migration or database whotnot!

GAMEFINEST · 03-22-2008, 10:51 AM

dreamhost sucks..

SpeakEasy · 03-22-2008, 11:03 AM

Dreamhost is as low in quality as it gets for hosting.

pussyluver · 03-22-2008, 11:21 AM

Have a few sites on DH and gee I was down for about 5 minutes today. 5+ TBytes of data transfer a month for just over $100 for the year. Status page reported the problems and outlined the issues. WTF do you want for that kind of money?? Have no complaints with DH.

If I grow a site to where I can't afford to have it down or need technical support for it, then I move it to dedicated hosting that cost a lot more.

I remember threads on gfy bitching about dedicated services being down on a well known hosting company that cost a lot more... They were down for as long or longer.

Not all boxes were affected at DH. You want to be sure your sites stay up? Use mirrored servers.

tiger · 03-22-2008, 11:24 AM

That's what happens when you spend 6/month on hosting.

INever · 03-22-2008, 12:24 PM

it's 10/mo

amaze · 03-22-2008, 01:27 PM

You are get, what you pay for

INever · 03-22-2008, 02:16 PM

it prolly would pay to mirror at another low-cost host and put my DNS on a stable registry

Jens Van Assterdam · 03-22-2008, 02:27 PM

Im with www.exmasters.com and more then happy! I started with a virtual plan but it coudnt take the load of my site, so they switched me to a managed dedicated for free. The dedicated also coudnt handle it so they set up another pair of 2GB Ram for free!
I have their support and ownership in icq and if something goes wrong they fix it within minutes! Thats hosting

and hope you never have a mysql db that has more than 1000 hits a day...
dreamhost is crap

Sly · 03-22-2008, 02:51 PM

We have virtual packages starting at $9.95.

Ecchi22 · 03-22-2008, 03:01 PM

12 hours sux.. If you need high bandwidth at low prices, you better move to Hostgator.com, its much better..
But people had problems with it too. Its always best to get some quality hosting or dedicated server. I recommend http://dwhs.net

dig420 · 03-22-2008, 06:03 PM

There is no such thing as a 'planned' 12 hr downtime.

papill0n · 03-22-2008, 06:16 PM

dreamhost are notorious for their massive downtime

starpimps · 03-22-2008, 06:47 PM

if you are making more than 2 sales a month...go with a better host

brandonstills · 03-22-2008, 07:11 PM

I've heard a lot of bad things about them. Can't speak from personal experience though.

I had my ISP down once or twice now and it's funny when I call and they say that they scheduled maintenance at 12 midnight so that it won't inconvenience people. HA! When do you think I get most of my work done?

National Net

Is the best host for anyone in the adult industry. Their support is top notch!

Iron Fist · 03-22-2008, 11:55 PM

I laugh every time i see a reply about "TOP NOTCH SUPPORT!!!" - who cares about their support, if the server is never down, you'll never really need support - I think i've sent in maybe a dozen tickets over the last year or so on my host, for stuff I just don't have access to do - and not time critical... but in terms of downtime? Non existent... seriously, however I am paying well.. alot more than $6.95 a month.

so... "who cares about support?" + "in the last year, i needed support at least once a month"

I know of someone using near the 5TB and claims all is working fine.... Also I'm using MySql. Maybe it's just luck?

I'm sure it is a bit the luck of the draw on who you share the server with. They specialize in virtual accounts or shared servers. Just think for the bucks, it's a deal. So if things went south, I'd just move the sites. I would bitch considering the prices. A good place to put new sites you're developing.... Obviously you're not gonna put a pay site there.

You do know that that link in my signature is not my hosting service ?

It is a tongue and cheek to the cheap so called webmasters or the newbies .... After all, they are signing up for those " so-called " services, getting fucked.....

So I can watch the fucking going on or .....

So get a clue before posting
