Topic awaiting preservation: Dreamhost

AFAIK, Asylum is hosted on Dreamhost server, and I think Doc has most of his stuff over there.
I am interested to get their "Strictly Business" package and thought, I should first ask around. Everybody happy with them? Any bad experience?

Thx

poor php support would be my only gripe with DH - old and missing modules gives me the irits. otherwise they're a decent host, fast(ish), minimal downtime, decent customer support. i have a number of domains there and am pretty happy.

same opinion on the php^ - they are very security and stability conscious for the purpose of #1-serving web pages. Anything that would open a hole or overtax the processor they look at very closely. Makes for great reliability and uptime but you have to be prepared to workaround here and there

what particularly are you interested in strictly business for? I've heard a few people complain about miva over the years I've been there. But then again, a lot of people complain about a lot of things and it normally comes down to the person complaining not knowing what they're doing.

mail and http been solid forever, they dropped to 96% ish uptime once over a month when the were doing a physical move of their datacenter, that's about my only complaint. Well, that and the fact that whenever I recommend them they start having some kind of glitch =D

Sash, take a look at this topic, too: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/008068.html

Thanks everybody for your reviews. We signed up, and hope we will be happy with them.

You totally should've waited before I could tell you to use me as a recommendation, so I could get a free month of service.

Damn you.

But I love Dreamhost, as I'm sure you will.

Shit, I should have done that, at least for one of you guys, completely forgot about it. Sorry.

Just an FYI, Dreamhost allows their members to retroactively refer people. All anyone needs to claim you as a referal is your domain name or web ID and your e-mail address.
