I’ve been with DreamHost for about 4 months now, and I must say I don’t have any complaints. I’ve been with about 6 other companies over the past 8 years, and DreamHost’s service is as good or better (mostly better) than all the others I’ve dealt with.

I agree. The main problem is, THEY'RE SLOW. Like slow laid back rockers that soon will be eaten by other 'cheap' webhosting company who also compete on price.
