My site has been up and down, mostly down for the past month. Finally got dreamhost to move me to another server, I went from Tropicana to Fiji, but I’m still having problems. Last open support ticket was 1 day and 4 hours ago. No responses since then.

Well, I was with dreamhost but switched within the money back time. The only one good thing with the host was the long money back time.
I had 3 days of downtime and problems in my first week. I stayed with it another month just to see it getting worse and worse and for 15 something bucks a month ( codemonster plan) I was not really pleased. I switched paying less then here for more of everything and had 15 minutes downtime in the 3 months I was with them… oh yeah the downtime was a scheduled maintenance. Right now I am recovering the sites of several of my friends hosted here and moving them to new hosts for them as well. Dreamhost has lost my trust and the trust of quite a few people a while ago.
I don’t even expect 99.9 percent uptime. Servers are machines and those can and tend to fail but what is happening here is just a little too much of failing hardware and unexplained problems!
Now if I could only access the site I am trying to recover because it is… guess what… down!

Somehow, all my databases have been completely cleared (and the backups have vanished along with them)! I’ve been waiting for a response from support for over 24 hours now! What is going on?

Jojo,

Nice to see another Fuitadnet refugee here! I ditched them after the box I was on was compromised. Their cleanup was inefficient, ineffective, and halfassed.

Dreamhost wins out by far, on all accounts.

Having the same problem with my home directory on postac. My home directory doesn’t exist, and the status page says my disk usage is 0%!? Looks like this issue may not be completely resolved yet? (Or maybe it’s migrated to a different cluster)

Christ, those who are complaining about 40 minutes downtime… I’m sorry, but try having a four year old website lost by a host, who claimed to make backups every 24 hours.

Look up “Fuitadnet” if you’d like to know who I’m on about.

And Dreamhost, thanks for the fact you have a blog, keeping us updated on situations when they arise. It’s greatly appreciated. =)
