Little cock roaches at dreamhost.
 
I know, chap, oversold blah blah…
So I used them for static galleries and all worked fine until few of them got listed in top spots on big TGPs. So they killed my domains because it was effecting other customers. Basically tech support guy told me to fuck off, and that 6000 gig a month plan really doesn’t have capability to support 200gig daily traffic. End of story. Moving on. I’ll just do chargeback for 4 month that I used them..

GrouchyAdmin 06-10-2008 01:37 PM

That'll teach them to let you sign up for an oversold, underpriced service which has no intention of providing what they claim they can support.

nothing but bad experiences with dreamhost

Pics Traffic 06-10-2008 06:12 PM

they were actually ok with me until now. They just cut me off. I replied to their ticket and still no answer of why they bother to sell me 6000 gig plan if they couldn’t handle 100 gig a day. Not that big of a deal bt excuse is definitely lame.

Pics Traffic 06-10-2008 06:14 PM

I’ll just piss them off with BBB filings. or perhaps I should invest 30 loonies for small claims court and start breach of contract dispute. That should get their attention.

Wanna just give me $30AUD? I'll happily tell you "We have the right to terminate service at any time, for any purpose, including.." means, quite frankly, you were using too many resources, they don't make money off of people like you, and they don't give a flying fuck that you grew too fast, or were too god damn stupid to pay for the service you required.

dedicated is the only way to go if you want to do anything... most virtuals are pure crap!

MOCKBA, listen to this guy instead of losing your time. You got more then what you paid for .. Read theit TOS & AUP.

How about:

"MOST virtuals who are offering 400 gigs of storage and 5 TB of Bandwith are crap " ... That would make more sense ...

Naturally, there is always someone complaining that some services are too expensive ... so they go cheap.

That is why in my sig, at the bottom, you have one of those oversellers ... If some of you are to be fucked, I might as well get on the bandwagon and make a fee bucks ( 65.00 referral doing nothing ... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh ). That is more then I do on my basic plan over a year....

dready 06-10-2008 07:03 PM

You get what you pay for. At some point reliability and security is worth a lot more than saving a couple bucks.

Iron Fist 06-10-2008 07:08 PM

Sounds about right from Dreamhost. You really think they were just handing over 5 terrabytes of throughput for 8 bucks a month?

pornpf69 06-10-2008 07:18 PM

if it is too good to be true, it probably isn't true!!

Not really if you think of it. I takes 5 minutes to turn it in and they can’t brush it off with “read the terms”.. Legal procedures take a lot of resources and time. I don’t mean time to send out the letter but the whole process. Its like filibuster - you bullshit just to prove the point and waste their time. Once you file complaint they cant go in and say “look, read our terms”.. they just can’t.. That’s why people file cases about hot coffee being spilled on their crotch despite the fact it clearly says “hot coffee” on it. I know I won’t do it, I still have some non-adult project there that generate about 1.2 unique views a day. I just hope none of you motherfuckers end up having your sites hosted o same 486 server I’m on.

you pay $9 a month? Why are you expecting to use resources of $99 a month?

Hosting is all about overselling, every host oversells to some extent. But you are limited to resources you can use. A host offering 10gigs a month on $10 will also terminate you for using too much resources, so did DreamHost.

I am not advocating them, just telling how shared hosting works.

M0nk 06-10-2008 08:53 PM

sucks.....

woj 06-10-2008 08:55 PM

wait a min, you thought you would get 6000GB for $10/month? :1orglaugh

2012 06-10-2008 09:03 PM

5TB for 5.95 a month ? I'm signing up TODAY !

farkedup 06-10-2008 11:41 PM

it mainly comes down to CPU usage BUT these places work great for backup services. Simply FTP your shit over to them for use as backups... some file hosting with them works great too.

I might just signup for lunar to dump some massive DB's I have.

I’m talking in legal terms. I know what they are doing. Thanks for pretending to be the smart one.

After Shock Media 06-11-2008 12:42 AM

Mockba to bad you were not located in California :) you would have a very valid legal recourse that would fuck their shit up.

fris 06-11-2008 04:09 AM

you wont be able to charge back for 4 months of service, maybe 1 month, but not the whole time you were using the account without issues

dreamhost sucks big time!

Yes I would. My credit card wouldn't care and they only have 30 days to provide proof of what was sold to me.
Do you even have a credit card?

Why even bother. It's your fault. You knew going into this what they were about. Suck it up and move to a real host.
