My other CMS powered sites run great! Well except for when they did that big move a few months ago. That just sucked! Its was fun to read all the pissed off people on their blog. Anyway this is a great site! Something new to follow! I feel for ya but I only experienced problems with DreamHost when it comes to having a high traffic WordPress sites, I don’t know why.

The only way to describe Dreamhost’s tech support team is that they are incompetent. Dreamhost is the worst hosting company I have ever dealt with. I’m responsible for number of websites and by mistake I choose Dreamhost for the newest client (askdivine.com)! They have disabled my website which is only two weeks old, and it is offline for well over 24hrs because of a security threat! Apparently a phishing page was uploaded to the account. After removing the threat they also have disabled the website, which was absolutely unnecessary! Their excuse was that the old versions of WordPress, PHPBB, etc. are the common causes for this sort of thing – the irony is that I have never used any of them! Anyway, I went through the files and told them everything is OK and 10 hrs later came up with a new excuse that our web software itself is the threat – and we need to update Joomla. According to them Joomla 1.5.11 has potential vulnerabilities. Cut the story short, I have upgraded to Joomla! 1.5.12. and the website is still down! I have submitted a new ticket support over 7 hrs ago and no response yet! A word advice: Keep Away From Dreamhost!

We have a decicated box. Definitely the way you should go. We’ve used midphase for PHP hosting and are very happy with them. We have a decicated box. Definitely the way you should go.

ThePlanet.com hosting freakin' rocks. Been with them for over 5 years now! Ever since they started as RackShack and then changed their name to EV1Servers and then was bought by ThePlanet. :) Why not just get a dedicated server that you can host all of your sites on?
