I think of it as swimming in the public pool. I’d rather swim in my own pool personally. If you host your site on any shared host you’ll end up with what you describe. My personal server with them has been really good to me so far so I can’t complain.

Like I mentioned before, each time I have ever had an issue, they were on top of it. Unfortunately things do happen and you sometimes get a bad experience, but compared to other hosts I’ve played with, Dreamhost has been the best experience overall. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Dreamhost is good, but it depends on what server you end up on. I’ve been happy with them over the years, but I’ve also been moved to a few servers, and recently I’ve been having a horrible uptimes and performance. Tech support gets back to me.. usually 6-8 hours after support ticket has been filed, and had to move one of my larger sites off of it for a more stable host. Since then, things seem to be much better.

Dreamhost is good, but just like anything… YMMV

Dream Hosting is one of the best hosts that I know. Providing customers with a highly effective hosting solutions this company has gained a good reputation at the market. Constantly incrasing number of positive customer reviews can fully approve this fact.

I’m a big fan too… I started up my first site on Dreamhost almost two years ago and its been great. There was a little slowness at first, but this lasted like a week or two while everything was getting sorted out and finding its place on the servers. Many of my domains ended up getting their own IP addresses – something that would normally cost a whole lot extra. Since my own issues have been “end-user issues” their user forum has been an extremely useful resource.

So I still haven’t had any direct experience with the support team, but I consider that to be a good thing!

My offer stands in perpetuity as far as I'm concerned. Keep taking notes and formulating what you'd like the end result to act and look like (which can be hard sometimes, so don't beat yourself up over it), and try to build out the functionality the site needs to perform. If/when you would like to discuss your project, I'd be happy to hop on the phone (or Skype) with you sometime over the weekend. Just contact me when you're ready for that.

Wayne – How long does your offer last? I am seriously pondering starting a blog on WordPress, in an earlier post you recommended WordPress as being a good place to go. It would be a .com site and I would like it to be more complex than I am capable of right now. Dreamhost seems to be perfect for what I am thinking. I see it as a project for 2010 and I am serious about it. Right now I am formulating on notepads what I would like to include, so you can tell, I am in the scribbling down ideas stage. If there is anything you could recommend for where I am right now, I would appreciate it.
