@willo

You need to change hosts. DH is cheap yet unreliable hosting. You are seriously making a mistake in thinking that $10/mo hosting is reliable or verbose enough for a business (and if you’re paying more than $10/mo at DH … that’d be mistake #2. I moved my actual business off DH over 2 years ago and downgraded my account here. Sooner or later I’ll move the remaining personal stuff off here, but for right now it’s good enough for that).

If you make your livelihood from this, you need to pony up and get a dedicated server at a reliable provider. Anything in this price range is going to be on par with the problems and reliability issues you see here.

This is incredible guys, post some sort of update and let us know what the hell is going on. We PAY money for this, and our sites are offline and our clients are complaining.

I understand that things go wrong sometimes, but this site was created to let us, YOUR CUSTOMERS, know what is going on and what to expect. And for an entire storage array to be offline for THIS LONG with NO UPDATES, it makes me wonder if my data is actually lost.

I’ve been with Dreamhost since 2003, and this time I am seriously considering moving elsewhere.

DISAPPOINTING.

It’s ironic that over the past days there has been a big thread discussing the TOS and Dreamhost’s “clarification” that the storage capacity we are paying for NOT be used for backing up personal files, but only for serving files from a web site. I don’t get it - this used to be a great service, but I’m not feeling the love.

“I’m glad I don’t use my website to actually earn a living. ”

I actually do, and having my email and site down for 15 hours is UNACCEPTABLE.

I’ve probably had at least 50-100 friends & clients try to reach me since yesterday afternoon, all of which are getting undeliverable emails bounced back to them.

I’m fuming. Absolutely beyond comprehension that this is happening. Not to mention that I have been getting bad httpd config & site/email outtages almost every single week lately.

Now that I have a store up on my site, and constant press hitting all the time, I can’t take any more chances dealing with a host that is so completely unreliable.

I want to love Dreamhost, I really do. I have for a long time, and have shouted their name from the rooftops, turning all my friends on to their hosting. But I’m completely at the end of my rope. I’m tired of being so frustrated. Having friends contact me once a week, saying “is your site down AGAIN!?” Sadly, yes.

I’m switching to Media Temple (as soon as I can get someone to help me move my 15GB of IMAP and my 13 hosted sites).

Painful!!!
