You just shouldn't expect the world to not deal with a company because not everyone is happy there.  If that was how it worked, there would be one perfect host that would put every single other host out of business.  The reality of it is that unhappy DH customers are a minority.  I know it just kills the people that bash them to accept that, but it's still true.  I'm pretty sure the 350,000 hosted domains aren't being held hostage.<br><br>Remember:  the original post warned people about dealing with the 16th largest host in the world, based on the bad experience of one person.  That's why I used the Microsoft example.  Way more people hate Microsoft than Dreamhost, yet almost everyone still uses their products.<br><br>There's also two sides to every story.  It would be foolish to think that none of the DH bashers are idiots that got kicked for spamming, breaking the TOS, etc.  Dreamhost isn't perfect, but anyone that thinks they stand out as a bad host isn't really familiar with web hosting, and hasn't been screwed nearly as hard as many others have.   There are THOUSANDS of hosts out there and I doubt I could make a list of 20 that I would consider dealing with.<br><br>It's also hard to believe how serious people are taking the sucks-search thing.  \"Microsoft sucks\" brings up way more results than \"Dreamhost sucks,\" so when people log-in to cancel their DH account, I hope they're doing it from a Mac or Linux computer--otherwise, they might look silly.<br><br>Like I said, Dreamhost isn't perfect, but they're still better than most hosts--not all.  The hosts that are better also aren't perfect, so I guess they suck too.  Since there are thousands of hosts, rattling off a few possibly better choices isn't proving that they're bad.  You aren't going to find a host that doesn't have a pissed off ex-customer.  If you do, it just means they haven't been in business long enough yet.<br><br>Back to my Site5 example.  I signed up with them about 1 year ago, when they were pretty much considered one of the best shared hosts.  Not even one year later, they're flooded with problems and getting bashed even more than DH, if you read sites like WHT.  Shit happens... to ALL hosts.  Just because it isn't happening at the same time as the bashed-host-of-the-week, doesn't mean that it hasn't or won't again.<br><br>The other funny thing about DH is that they often get bashed as a \"cheap host\" with the typical I-have-nothing-of-importance-to-say \"you get what you pay for\" cracks.   Last time I checked, DH charged more than most of the hosts people recommend switching to.

I'm not looking for pity, but I'll explain my story.<br><br>I run a legitimate business as a publisher of several outdoor-related Web sites (hunting, fishing, etc). Last week we launched a new site that was picked up by <a href=\"http://ESPNOutdoors.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">ESPNOutdoors.com</a>, an industry trade group, and several outdoor columnists. Great, I think, but how do I keep the momentum going? Yes, I'll post to a couple of outdoor-related groups on Usenet to generate a little more interest. So that's what I did. I crafted a well written message that mentioned a 100% free service and posted it on about 6-8 groups that ranged from hunting and fishing to camping and water sports.<br><br>Maybe this was a couple groups too many (was it???), but to shut down my entire network of sites and the sites of all my clients (about 50 sites total) because of this is insane. If I would have thought for one second that this would have been an issue with Dreamhost, I wouldn't have done it. Not to mention, their TOS talks about posting off topic messages, but all of mine were related to the boards I posted on, and the response I received by email was all positive.<br><br>If this is what one can expect after being a loyal customer of 7 years, referring tons of people (mostly friends - no promo codes), and suffering through the many outages they've had recently, then I'm more than a little shocked. I would at least expect them to give me a warning.<br><br>Needless to say I just sent them an email explaining the situation to them, so we'll see how this turns out.

The sites being down is obviously a problem too. If you\'re an optimist, it\'s easy to think "okay, when they fix the current problem everything should be fine."

That code gives the referral money to the new customer, instead of the referrer.  There is more money to be made in referrals from all of the other hosts than there is from DH, because you don\'t have to compete against promo codes.  The only reason it seems like there\'s more from DH out there is because they\'re one of the biggest hosts  (#16 last time I checked, going by a domain count of around 350,000), so they have more customers to promote their business.</div>\

I\'ve found them to be responsive, reliable and a great value.  If what your hosting is mission critical, it shouldn\'t be there.  $10 a month isn\'t going to get you 99.999% reliability.  On e-mail, yes, they\'ve bad blacklisting issues, but they jump right on it, AND they reported it in their blog.  I didn\'t even know it was broke when it appeared in my RSS.<br><br>I love Roberts comments.  Fix the problems, be transparent, point to the people that say you suck, invite them in...and of course, start doing video.  =) I\'d say they\'re doing pretty darn good in this area and the best indicator is their blog.<br><br>So, to recap, bravo DH (since 2003 for me), if you need five nines, you need to pay more than $10 a month, and any company that wants to make it online should stick to Roberts PR credo.</div>\

I\'ve been with 3 other hosts and they all definitely had similar problems once in a while.  Dreamhost just happened to have a string of them all at once (some not totally their fault, i.e. a large portion of LA losing power).<br><br>The bottom line for me is that 20 GB and unlimited domains for $8/mo is an amazing deal, even considering that you have to accept some downtime (as you do with all shared hosts).</div>\

That equals a lot of happy customers. And they\'re still growing, despite the "I\'m outta here!" crowd.<br><br>Again, this is like Wal-mart.  Thousands (millions?) hate them, yet it\'s always packed with happy shoppers and they will never go out of business.<br><br>How many people hate Microsoft and think Bill Gates is the devil?  And yet just about every computer has Windows on it--and despite all of the better browsers out there, most of them are still using IE to get online and Outlook Express to check their mail.<br><br>Personally, I do look for negative reviews when shopping for anything.

You just shouldn\'t expect the world to not deal with a company because not everyone is happy there.  If that was how it worked, there would be one perfect host that would put every single other host out of business.  The reality of it is that unhappy DH customers are a minority.  I know it just kills the people that bash them to accept that, but it\'s still true.  I\'m pretty sure the 350,000 hosted domains aren\'t being held hostage.<br><br>Remember:  the original post warned people about dealing with the 16th largest host in the world, based on the bad experience of one person.  That\'s why I used the Microsoft example.  Way more people hate Microsoft than Dreamhost, yet almost everyone still uses their products.<br><br>There\'s also two sides to every story.  It would be foolish to think that none of the DH bashers are idiots that got kicked for spamming, breaking the TOS, etc.  Dreamhost isn\'t perfect, but anyone that thinks they stand out as a bad host isn\'t really familiar with web hosting, and hasn\'t been screwed nearly as hard as many others have.   There are THOUSANDS of hosts out there and I doubt I could make a list of 20 that I would consider dealing with.<br><br>It\'s also hard to believe how serious people are taking the sucks-search thing.  "Microsoft sucks" brings up way more results than "Dreamhost sucks," so when people log-in to cancel their DH account, I hope they\'re doing it from a Mac or Linux computer--otherwise, they might look silly.<br><br>Like I said, Dreamhost isn\'t perfect, but they\'re still better than most hosts--not all.  The hosts that are better also aren\'t perfect, so I guess they suck too.  Since there are thousands of hosts, rattling off a few possibly better choices isn\'t proving that they\'re bad.  You aren\'t going to find a host that doesn\'t have a pissed off ex-customer.  If you do, it just means they haven\'t been in business long enough yet.<br><br>Back to my Site5 example.  I signed up with them about 1 year ago, when they were pretty much considered one of the best shared hosts.  Not even one year later, they\'re flooded with problems and getting bashed even more than DH, if you read sites like WHT.  Shit happens... to ALL hosts.  Just because it isn\'t happening at the same time as the bashed-host-of-the-week, doesn\'t mean that it hasn\'t or won\'t again.<br><br>The other funny thing about DH is that they often get bashed as a "cheap host" with the typical I-have-nothing-of-importance-to-say "you get what you pay for" cracks.   Last time I checked, DH charged more than most of the hosts people recommend switching to.  What happened to "you get what you pay for"?</div>\

I just got hit with an email from Dreamhost saying that my entire account has been permanently disabled for TOS violations. I\'m not looking for pity, but I\'ll explain my story.<br><br>I run a legitimate business as a publisher of several outdoor-related Web sites (hunting, fishing, etc). Last week we launched a new site that was picked up by <a href="http://ESPNOutdoors.com" rel="nofollow">ESPNOutdoors.com</a>, an industry trade group, and several outdoor columnists. Great, I think, but how do I keep the momentum going? Yes, I\'ll post to a couple of outdoor-related groups on Usenet to generate a little more interest. So that\'s what I did. I crafted a well written message that mentioned a 100% free service and posted it on about 6-8 groups that ranged from hunting and fishing to camping and water sports.<br><br>Maybe this was a couple groups too many (was it???), but to shut down my entire network of sites and the sites of all my clients (about 50 sites total) because of this is insane. If I would have thought for one second that this would have been an issue with Dreamhost, I wouldn\'t have done it. Not to mention, their TOS talks about posting off topic messages, but all of mine were related to the boards I posted on, and the response I received by email was all positive.<br><br>If this is what one can expect after being a loyal customer of 7 years, referring tons of people (mostly friends - no promo codes), and suffering through the many outages they\'ve had recently, then I\'m more than a little shocked. I would at least expect them to give me a warning.<br><br>Needless to say I just sent them an email explaining the situation to them, so we\'ll see how this turns out. Oh yeah, a blurb in their TOS about cross posting in Usenet would be nice too.<br><br>Good luck with Dreamhost everyone!</div>\

And then it gets reported--as you found out.<br><br>You weren\'t posting to help people.  You were posting to promote your site (as you already admitted), then trying to justify it by saying it would be useful.  You will never find a usenet group that won\'t consider that spamming.<br><br>Do you think every post on usenet has been reported as spam?   No.   So, why were yours?  Because of what I already said:  People see right through what you did.<br><br>If you were out to help people, rather than promote you site, you could have answered relevant questions  with info that may or may not be on your site.  That would have been helpful--and without throwing links around, no one would have thought you were a spammer.  If you\'re not willing to do that without being able to throw links around, then you\'re not there to help and you really don\'t have a reason to be there.<br><br>I\'d also guess that you weren\'t a regular member in those groups.  A new person announcing what they think is a useful site will never be seen as anything but spam on usenet.  And in case it isn\'t obvious to you...  all of this would apply to forums, blog comments, etc...<br><br>You think I was hard on you?  I bet the people whose groups you spammed were wishing you were dead while they were filling out the spam complaints.<br><br>Spam is hated everywhere, so you should either get used to this--or take a few more steps away from what you seem to think is a fine line between helping people and being a spammer.</div>\

When my client attempted to sign up for an account, the transaction hung halfway through. When customer service (which can only be reached by tedious email exchanges) "fixed" the problem, the pay by credit card option was no longer available. The customer service representative insisted that we use Google Payments. I proceeded, and then my client realized his financial information is now in the Google system. The worst possible scenario then came true. Instead of completing the transaction, Google called my client\'s bank for "preapproval". This was not to complete the transaction (which was never completed), but to gather information for Google\'s marketing. My client is furious, reviewing everyone\'s privacy policy,  and is looking into ways to bring this problem up at the political, and possibly the legal, level.<br><br>Throughout this whole situation, Dreamhost has been nothing but pig-headed. Every customer service representative ignores the case history and either refers us back to Google Payments or says patronizing things like we could have paid with the original credit card system. I offered them a solution where I quietly pay for the account using Google transactions, and they won\'t even let me help bail them out!!!<br><br>I will never refer another client to dreamhost. Right now I\'m looking for the best place to air this complaint publicly in as many places as possible.
