Iâve used dreamhost almost since the first year I had a website. The actual first service I used was a free unlimited service called XOOM â then it began forcing ads and such, so I went to dreamhost.com in 99.
My 4+ years of service with dreamhost had many ups and several downs, yet I would agree with the rest of the posts in that dreamhost for $9.98 per year offers a great and untouchable service. The problem lays once you begin using over 30GB of bandwidth per month on a monthly continual basis- they will then shut down your account. This happened to me once and only one, I since moved off to a dedicated server with dual 120 gb drives and 1500 gb transfer a month.
My honest opinion is that if you are just starting off, even for a forum with say 200 members⦠dreamhost is a dream come true. But I must warn you, that the dream can quickly become a nightmare.
