I didn't know that about hostgator. Thanks for the heads up. Amazing what you find out when you read between the lines. I just reread the article again. I didn’t know that about hostgator.

I suggest to everybody that they should not come up with the idea of hiring him. Besides once activated they put a lot of snags to drop you on you or even they try simply to eliminate your account without no reason. The data that they put before hiring are totally false and can multiply for 4 or 5. It is an authentic theft. Ad very seriously. Dreamhost PS sucks.

I’ve already received a Dreamhost PS. It works about the way promised: no root, but your own protected process space. Pretty much the same as shared server, only not as much shared. The downside is quite obvious, when you think of it: 150Mhz/150MB(+150MB swap) is not going to get you anywhere. You have full access to your own little machine, but you can’t even momentarily burst to the full capacity of the server when you need it. If you run out of memory+swap, the PHP scripts instantly give the good old Internal Server Error. While it’s really easy to up the memory, it’s quite hard to see exactly what’s going on. I have to admire how Dreamhost executed this. The “Adjust CPU/Memory” bar is brilliant. It looks so easy and hides the technical details below. Also, there has to be a lot of legroom on these servers, since the users are constantly fiddling with their sliders. (As seen on Dreamhosters’ blog.)

I wonder after your launch what your planning to price it out. I too am looking forward in seeing if it lives up to expectaion. What a sweet deal your DreamHost PS to bad it is by invitaion only.

Still hoping to get an invite soon, as this looks like an awesome hybrid of a real VPS and a shared hosting acct. All the guaranteed resources of a VPS without having to play root every day. Looking forward very much to trying this out to see if it lives up to expectations! I signed up on the pre-order page as soon as I saw this announced.
