My webmail has been up and down and spitting out errors for the better part of a week. I'm embarrassed for the number of people I have referred to DreamHost. I'm going to stay with DreamHost for the remainder of what I have paid, and give them that long to redeem themselves, but I'll be opening a second hosting account with another company to divide my web traffic between. I can't afford dedicated hosting at this time, but after these recent issues I've learned my lesson about keeping all of my eggs in one basket. The first outage was forgivable but this is getting ridiculous. I paid for a L3 account even though I really didn't need it just because I have had such a better experience here than my previous host (Lunarpages). I felt the L3 account was an excellent value for the services I received. Not anymore. I have downgraded to a L1. I don't want to leave DreamHost completely. Please get your act together.

Maybe, just maybe, if you take your company slightly serious, you should invest in a somewhat more reliable host, maybe even a dedicated server rather than hosting all of your clients on a shared server of a budget web host. Say ~40 bucks a month for a VPS is no money for any company. Unless you're all just a bunch of kids who's definition of a company is making 50 bucks websites for friends and family in their parents basement, which is more likely. /rant, now fix the damn downtime DH ;) To all the people bitching about how much money they lose and angry clients they get because of “all” the downtime.

First off, it's applicable to the current problem they're experienceing. They're not bashing DH on a DBZ site or on a blog, they're doing it in the right spot, with the right people. Secondly, if yr flaming someone because they're upset, you're a jackass. Do you not realize yr flaming is just another form of bitching.* Lastly, this forum IS a great spot for folks to suggest, discuss and even bash alternatives to DH. Get a life, don't flame. It's not their fault you're overweight and think you're important because you run some stupid server. Sorry, I know yr sensitive about your weight and I apologize.

I don't think anyone can use this service for a serious business unless a drastic improvement happens.

The first was swell. The second has been increasingly troubling. I hope DH can resolve their problems and provide satisfactory uptime once again. I also have sites with JaguarPC. The latter have never been down for any serious length of time during the five years I've been with them. I like the idea of having sites on multiple web hosts but am slowly moving some away from DH. Hopefully the service will be what it once was and I'll remain a client here. But it sure does look doubtful at times. I’ve been with DH for two years. The first was swell.
