I'd like to second Doug's assessment of Dreamhost. I recently dropped
them because the service had dropped way down in the years I'd been
with them. I'd frequently log into the host and find load averages
well above 100. Outages were common and while the customer support was
good, they couldn't keep the service running as sanguinely as I'd have
liked. I'm now a happy Slicehost customer for only $20/mo. I can run
whatever I want however I want to and don't have to worry about
overprovisioning.
