How long and how often your DREAMHOST down everyday?

Dreamhost sucks!

All my sites are down now, and this happens quite often.

Almost 3 - 4 down time per day, all last more than 10 minutes.

DAMN!

 

Thanks for the information, i am interested to know user experience with Dreamhost. Did any one host sites that use anything near their bandwidth or web space limits ?

 

This is what happens with overselling

 

Yes, but DREAMHOST is sucessfull in overselling, that is why they are so much popular. I am thinking of trying them to see how they deal with big web sites, the 180 GB really worth $7, but with out SSH, i can't think of moving big files to them.

 

netfreehost, ask them if they'll move the files for you. We do it all the time for new customers. They may be willing to also.

Giving SSH on a shared box is just too risky. Never mind that someone might be malicious, there's no way to know what a user's technical abilities are and a simple mistake could be costly. It's just better for all on the box if the host is willing to perform certain tasks for you--plus you still get what you wanted done without having to spend your own time doing it.

 

Mine is fine most of the time. I have been using tracker services to track the uptime. And it has been 100% except with 1 99.99% uptime. Sometimes it might be slow loading, but most of the times its smooth and nice.

 

Sounds like overselling to me. It's becoming a farce nowadays. I have seen a 100GB 1000GB package from hostgator for $9.99, that's impossible to provide.

 

Sorry to hear of your frustrating experience.

While it's not always true but you do get what you paid for.

Valve-Hosting I agree with you it is a total joke and awful sales gimmick.

Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

 

I haven't had any problems so far. But all your problems are starting to worry me.

 

I had them for 1 month, hated every minute of it. immediately cancelled. no phone support and slowwwww email support.
