Almost signed up for an account at Dreamhost two months ago. Encountered a glitch at checkout so I couldn't complete my order. Was pissed off about it then, but from what I have read on this thread, boy am I glad I didn't sign up with them.
i just reg dreamhost for a $22.4 account .i think it is cheap. it is good for you if you have many website and not big traffic. yesterday i can't open my website too. if it is happen not too often. that will be ok.
They also keep decreasing the allotted space and bandwidth on new accounts. Hopefully that will lead to better performance though!
