I have finally had enough of DreamHost. They have been good at times but, like a Dickens novel, there is also the worst times. The final straw (after things like "Oh, sure, we give you tons of bandwidth per month, but we divvy it up so much you would have to be damn lucky to ever get near our limit") was their "accidental" overbilling. I was billed for two years into the future, even though I am currently paid in full.

They claim it was an accident and, to their credit, they have a very transparent attitude (even if the attitude reaks of smarmy asshole). But with their recent rants in the community, my continuing issues with them, and the lack of comfort with their entire operation, I have decided it was worth slightly more money to move to a hosting service where I had control over things, and where things worked. So now I am on a host that is fast (enough for me, at least), has a high data rate, and seems to be very reliable. And so far, I could not be happier...
