Thanks

(I'm very new here, so if this isn't where this is supposed to be please accept my apologies and move it to its appropriate spot.)

Have been a lurker here for a while and never really felt the need to post, but alas I wanted to share my experience with Dreamhost.

Dreamhost had a promotion going on quite a few months ago that was something along the lines of $10 or $15 for a year. I jumped at the opportunity hoping that I would have another host that I could test scripts/designs/programs that would require very little bandwidth and server resources. In other words, I was not planning on having an active website on their servers, just a place to test things on an independent server.

It has been an absolute disaster. My uptime is absolutely atrocious (my site probably goes down 2 or 3 times per day for as little as 15 minutes to as long as 4 hours). Their support was slightly okay in regards to response time (usually within a few hours) but they never really did anything to alleiviate the situtation. I repeatedly asked them if the problems with my server would be resolved and they said, fairly bluntly "I don't know". They finally offered to switch me to another server, which I agreed to and it has been nearly 48 hours and I still not have been transfered and my site is still experiencing problems.

I know for the price it seems tempting, but honestly it isn't worth it. If they can't even host my testing site, I can't even imagine if I were to try and run an active site through them. If you are looking for a reliable host STAY AWAY FROM DREAMHOST.
