I am running a small forum, but it is growing fast. I was using a private hosting company that offored decent hosting, but not enough. I have now opened an account with dreamhost, and plan to stay there. Looks like dreamhost is very proffessional and offer a lot with just a basic hosting package. 5 tb of bandwidth, I don't think i'll need it, but it's nice to know i'll have it during a spike! Anyone else using dreamhost for a vb forum? I am very happy with them, although, I will not be making the move until january of 08, I am running another site with them right now!
Dreamhost? I see you haven't made much digging. Dreamhost is possibly one of the largest oversellers around, their plans are just mad. Dedicated server is almost at the same stage (space, b/w) and they offer that as a basic plan on a shared server. I've had one of my web sites hosted on their servers, I don't like their control panel for users, either. I wish you best of luck, however, I wouldn't recommend them at all. - Meti
man, is this pick on me day? On a lighter note, I am very happy with them so far and DO realize they oversell with promotion offers. I also only paid $20 for a year of their hosting, so I can try it, right, or is that againts your TOS watch? J/K.
I am not picking on you, I don't like picking if that's for any good use. I am only giving you a friendly warning, lots of users have had really bad experience with them, I don't want that to happen to you, sorry if I sounded kind of 'strict' on the reply above. - Meti
That's cool, I thought I would give it a go since $20 is pocket change. I'll post back to let you guys know how it goes. So far so good though!
