My current host cannot handle the SMF forum I have on my account. I want to switch hosts. I need some opinions between the two. MediaTemple looks great, especially with the clustered hosting, however their prices are a bit high. Dreamhost looks great also. I need help deciding, I cannot afford anymore downtime.
Don't bother with Dreamhost in that case. Lately it's been common for me to have a couple hours downtime each month with them. I'm trying to decide who to go with for those sites I have hosted there.
If you search a little in this forum you can find http://www.dreamhost-sucks.com/ Sometimes, if you want to give more than you can, things don't go as they should. We have a reseller of one of the greatest and we have our projects there with no problem at all, but also important is the service behind. If want to take a look: hosting.sitehood.com
