Wed, 04 Oct 2006 02:36:17 +0000 http://blog.dreamhost.com/?p=71#comment-18175 [...] In less than a year, Dreamhost has already upgraded their already insane webhosting plans with up to 10 times more webspace and at least 2 times the bandwidth - an upgrade that comes to all existing Dreamhost customers. In other words, Level 1 plans start with 200 Gigs of webdisk and 2 TB of bandwidth. But is this really a good thing? I mean, we’ve already experienced a wackload of problems with Dreamhost that seem to be ongoing. Now, I’m not sure if the previous increase in bandwidth and diskspace was a direct correlation with the network issues that Dreamhost is facing. One thing that’s for sure is that these “insane” deals are in fact bringing Dreamhost a lot of new customers. According to their blog and webhosting.info, Dreamhost hosts (try say that 10 times) over 300, 000 domains and ranks 24th among the largest webhosts in the world - a nice jump from 200, 000 domains and ranked 39th back in January 2006. Having researched that, there is no doubt increasing bandwidth and diskspace means increased customers. Increased customers means increasing number of shared servers. Increasing shared servers means increasing network problems. Which begs the question again, is this upgrade really a good thing? I remember when some of my sites would take up to 20 seconds to load because of the high resource usage on the database server and there was little that Dreamhost Support could do except to tell me to wait as they tried figuring out the problems.

I'm thinking about switching my site to dreamhost, and I'd like the opinions of some clients. My site is WordPress-based, and heavily visited (about 10,000 visits daily -- according to AWStats). Our old host couldn't handle the CPU load and didn't really know how to configure the server to make it work, so I moved to a more techie hosting company. This one is a bit too DIY for me -- I'm a novice server admin -- and the support seems dodgy (although the user forums are nice and helpful). I'd like to know what others' experiences are with DreamHost, particularly those hosting high-trafic WP sites. Please email to wholesnocone-at-yahoo-dot-com ...'twill be much appreciated. thanks... not sure where to post this, so we’ll try here.

I'm kidding of course, Dreamhost is pretty good for the price and that is why I have been here since 2002 and will be here until 2007. Perhaps longer depending on if any of my sites need more bandwidth or its own server. Well, you could always try Yahoo Geocities (or whatever they are calling it now).

There is no justice when the host you are with doesn't support Java Servlets (for chatting) and the other hosts don't support unlimited mysql accounts nor 20 GB for less than 20 dollars a month. I'll sell my soul to a host that has what Dreamhost has and more. Hostway sucks, 150 MB for 8.95 a month and 39 setup fee. They won't be getting my business. I'll be with Dreamhost for another year I suppose and in that year, I suppose new features will be added and supported.
