we still have ns1.dreamhost.com and ns3.dreamhost.com.. don’t worry
It was 24 hours to long, I knew my RSS feed was going to go off eventually for this…
for the last three days, every few hours my site cannot be accessed… for 5 mins to 1.5 hrs…
this is crap, and im pushing a deadline, thanks dreamhost.
will be leaving you within the month.
@Thiago demello beuno
your loss, these guys do upgrades for YOU. You are insane to ask for 100% uptime for a service that you probally are paying a few dollars a month for.
@dreamhost
Keep up the good work.
So how is it going?
The only reason I found this post is because my DNS records that’s supposed to be served by DreamHost today stopped resolving (read - broken). It is 6:40PM PST 08/21/2008, and ns1.dreamhost.com, ns2 and ns3 - all return NXDOMAIN for my queries.
Very very frustrating - DreamHost, you guys really dropping the ball lately. After being your customer since 2001 I am thinking about switching to a more reliable host.

Everithing is ok!
Well done DH team.
I hate people that complain dreamhost is great and their staff are great


Hopefully the upgrade will go unnoticed.
