Dreamhost = Disaster
 

I think there should be a blacklist of hosting companies on GFY, it would make living much easier. I'd like to warn you to stay away from another catastrophy on this planet, Dreamhost.com!!! My server has been down for nearly...48 hours now. I'll be charging back as many months as possible

Sounds like your dream was a nightmare.

more shattered dreams ...

likewhoa

lol everyone has known they are a shithost for half a decade or more.

I always check reviews on a well known web hosting forum before I purchase new hosting plans

DreamHost is one of the longest running jokes on GFY.

Anexsia can you post the name of this forum?

OP's incident aside, why is dreamhost percieved to be so shitty? I've had a few sites with them for about a year and a half with no problems.

Who is a good sharedhost these days with a similar setup?

HostGator

move to Certified Hosting / Naked Hosting and you'll never look back! :thumbsup:thumbsup:pimp

This surprised you how?

:1orglaugh

You should have started you business plan in 2003

Dreamhost's virtual hosting is perfect for low-traffic feeder sites and blogs. Their dedicated servers simply suck.

hostgator

nightmarehost.com

Agreed, I have two virtual accounts with them for some low traffic blogs, no issues at all.

links pulled

48 hours is a long ass time :(

sometimes paying a little more / month goes a long way, talking from experience here with another host i won't name (they post here a Lot $$)

Hate to say it but 'you got what you Paid for'

go from a dream to a nightmare :helpme

I'm not sure what these figures have in common with hosting but as a matter of fact I started my business plan in 2001 :-) and went through many both hosting and billing companies. Unfortunatelly nowadays the only business plan is cutting costs.

Dreamhost Shared hosting is only for your sites which collectively make under $100 a month. Sites you don't care about but still don't want to lose. Anything more then get a better host.

should have just went with webair.

You had problems with HostGator?

dreamhost if fine for your smaller sites

Amen. Couldnt have put it better myself...






(Without mentioning poo...)

hostgator is a much better choice.

We work with different hosts everyday. Dreamhost is among the worst, in my opinion.

Hostgator is fine for a hobby site. Neither target professionals. Amerinoc, Webair, Mojohost and others target professional sites.

What kind of dumb ass statement is this?

Do you realize how much larger hostgator is than those companies?

Hostgator dwarfs every host thrown around here, their support is amazing and I can't think of one issue I've had with them in years and years. The only reason I don't use them for more stuff is that their dedicated servers are pricey.

I have a ton of virtuals with them with dedicated ips for my mainstream sites, working out very nicely so far.

"As a technology and product innovator, HostGator is able to provide its more than 400,000 customers with innovative products and services designed to complement their existing businesses. HostGator serves customers ranging from individual freelancers to Fortune 500 companies in more than 200 countries."

Agreed! Been using them for a few years now with little problem.

Indeed. Want crappy service go to hostgator!

If you have any mainstream links for sale I'm interested. High budget.

Havent heard that name in Years !!!!

Pretty Swoit!
