this deal seems too good to be true

do they have alot of downtime?
I was thinking of putting up a new site for freelance work, but I'm wary of hosts I'm not familiar with.

sweet deal – I've heard of them, but never used them
is it actually an active promotion or is it BS?

I've been with Dreamhost since 1997, and despite a few blips here and there, totally worth the money. They are not the type of company to give you big promises and then not deliver. They deliver, fix problems fast (when/if they happen) and are just a great service to be with.
If you don't want to pay the rock-star prices of mediatemple and get a ton of bandwidth/diskspace at the same time, dreamhost is for you.

nope, it's a legit promotion.. just want to make sure their servers are reliable

Dreamhost is dreamy.
I've been there about a year now and have 3 of my own sites there and have about a dozen clients there now too. No issues. They keep things very up to date (software, etc.).
The only downside I've had so far is that the tech support is email only. I like to talk to someone on the phone from time to time, but the portal and services are so user friendly that support is rarely needed, if at all.

They've had small mailbox problems in the last month.. and intruding attempts. I didn't noticed anything.
so long the best I've worked with in support, space, db's and announcements always up-to-date./6 domains and growing/
(I haven't tried (mt) so don't bother me)
it's worth a try, even if its only for the price.

I don't ever get a large hit in bandwidth, but so far (about 9 months) the servers have never gone down.
Migrating severs was painless too.

i havent had a single problem in the year that ive been with them.

i use them and they have been ok for me.. but i have my mail elsewhere because i just had way too many problems with their mailservers
- madirish0
they are great. i have been with them and have several clients with them, but......
i just had to move a very large client from them because the mail issues of late were atrocious. i mean, i have never had anything like that w/ ANY host. there were more problems compounded on top of problems it was madness.
now, boxcar spells it out perfectly, they rock and given their prices and default items included- they rule.

been with Dreamhost for years. Never had a problem. Great service.

I host my personal sites with them, not really tested them out with siteload issues or bandwith as yet, but they are worth the money, no big issues with them

thanks for the info. All I need to do now is come up with a name.

Ive still got the option to register a name with dreamhost yet as ive just changed the DNS on my other domains to point to dreamhost which is yet another good thing about them that you can host unlimited domains with them

Rodimus79, did you go with Dreamhost after getting this feedback??? i'm in the same sitch as you and wondering if you've had any of the email probs or tech support issues mentioned on this thread.

I have used them for a long time. They have been great. Much better than Media Temple and they keep giving us more and moreeeee for freee
