Dreamhost Hosting is Excellent
September 25, 2010, 08:44:13 pm
I have been using Dreamhost.com for almost a year after a switch from a very disappointing 1and1 hosting. I have been very pleased with their service and hosting.

They have an unlimited plan which is extremely flexible and inexpensive.

A year of hosting is 119.40 and if you use the promo code DHPROMO6460 when you sign up you get $80.00 off that for your first year. That makes your first year of hosting only 39.40.

Agreed. The shared hosting plan has worked well for one of our customers and the wiki docs are very good. Although the server time is Pacific and can't be changed. This isn't a major problem if you update .htaccess as they suggest, but for example queries inside civicrm that use NOW() still return the wrong time.

On the contrary, I have had multiple bad experiences with Dreamhost, not just relating to CiviCRM.  In one case a site was hacked due to no fault of the software or configuration, and in another Dreamhost support took 3 weeks to respond to a support ticket listed as "urgent".

Perhaps they  have changed their ways in the last year, but I would avoid them at all costs and go with CiviHosting.com, RIMUHosting.com or Linode.
