DISQUS

TR@Help An Alcoholic · 1 year ago

I am not a big fan of dreamhost, simply because I would say to a lot of people "hey your site was down when i went to look at it!" and they would reply with "yeah, I'm having some issues with dreamhost right now"...

I've been using 1and1 for months now after a hellish experience with godaddy and I love them - I've got 7 domains on one hosting package I pay $5 a month for. They're cheaper for domains also. They have an affiliate program too - I'll spare you the link but they honestly are worth checking out if you care about being on a budget and having your sites up :)

Thank you for your candid review of Dreamhost. I had considered switching to them after hearing they are reliable. Now I think I'll reconsider.

I went through the billing fiasco with them as well and I still have a couple of sites hosted with them. They are adequate for the sites I have hosted with them. I am mildly annoyed by their insistence on using their own homegrown control panel rather than a more established one like cpanel or plesk though. It took me 10 minutes to figure out that mysql admin functions were under the "Goodies" heading. I have recommended them to friends who don't have a lot of heavy duty requirements though.

Gone through many cheap hosts. Dreamhost seems to be among the best of the bunch. Very hard to rate reliability ... reliably. Everyone has problems from time to time.
