Dreamhost sucky:

I have a guest here who’s site is down today (doesn’t want to be named). He can’t give a demo because they are hosted on Dreamhost and his site’s been down all day. I’ve been seeing a lot of nasty things on blogs about Dreamhost. Looking at Google’s Blogsearch for “Dreamhost” seems they’ve had some sort of security breach, among other issues. But this isn’t the first time I’ve heard nasty things about Dreamhost. It’s just amazing to me that anyone still uses them. Buyer beware and all that.

Yet again sucky reviews from Dreamhost, I can tell you as someone who helps support a site hosted there. Not worth the price even as low as it is…

    With all their warts and problems, I still use and like Dreamhost. Sure, I’ve had a couple issues with them over the past couple years, but they’ve fixed them all, and more importantly, they’ve communicated with me about it. And for the record, my site was one of those hit in the security breach, but it was an FTP breach. FTP isn’t secure anyway. ;)

    I have over 20 domains with Dreamhost, and none were hit by the security breach.

    And, only one is acting slow of late (unfortunately the site owners are very vocal about it, so I hear about their downtime constantly).
