    I am with dreamhost and my forum is frequently down, as in twice per week. Where can I find a REAL hosting company? I dont want to spend over $15 per month. It would be good if they took paypal.

    Please help. Tell me what host you use.

    Dreamhost is totally down right now.

    Even their site that you are supposed to check when there are problems. lol

    I'm sure they'll be back soon.

    For the money, i can put up with downtime.

    Cheers.

    I dont think you guys realise just what you get from dreamhost -- there specs are amazing, there prices are great. There is no host that offers anything like what dreamhost gives you.

    I have 1 dreamhost account, and it is running 20 websites -- all have SQL databases, all have about 5gb of stuff. It would cost a fortune anywhere but dreamhost.

    Oh, and i still have unlimited domain names to use, and unlimited sql database for any future projects.

    In the last year, my sites have been down a max of 5 times. <-- somthing i can totally put up with for the money. I would still say my sites are up 90% of the time.

    IF my sites where download for longer periods, and it was costing me money, i would think about changing, but like i say, right now, its fine, and in the time its taken me to write this, dreamhost have got there status site working again, and say its been a dos attack:
