  My web hosting (Dreamhost) is set to renew for a new year soon.

  The charge is $119 for a year.

  Is that about what you all pay? I knows it's only $10/mo, but it seems expensive.

  What would make someone unhappy with hosting?

  • actually a lot can make you unhappy. downtime, bad customer service, options, admin panel, etc– dbloc1/3

  my first hosting service was awful back in 2001, ...down service (clients couldn't get to my URL), slow download time, very little space for the cost, getting hacked into... the list is kind of long to go into here but if you didn't realize that some hosting services suck n' you're on the right track with DH... i wouldn't switch off what isn't broken 10 bucks a month is nothing. but you already said that.

  Wow, that's some unacceptable stuff.

  For other people on this board, are you happy with Dreamhost?

  Would there be any reason to switch?

  • I can say that I'm happy w/ DH. I think you're paying for Unlimited space, call them up and see if you can get a deal.– ohhhhhsnap1/2

    They seem like the type who'd give it to you.– ohhhhhsnap2/2

  That is average price for all the low budget hosting companies.

  $10/month is only slight above $free/month
