Well after 3 years of hosting my websites at Dreamhost, I have decided to move on to another hosting company. I was actually torn as to whether I should actually make the jump. Unfortunately, their service has gone so far down hill, I had no choice. For the last 6 months or so, Dreamhost has sucked, to put it mildly. It seemed like everytime I checked on my websites they were down. Their custom “control panel” is now so slow, it’s unusable or down completely. Creating a new MySql DB is supposed to take 5 to 10 minutes through the panel. I created one last weekend and it took over 5 hours.
Support continues to suck, but I really never used them for anything other than to tell them my site is down and ask them check the server.
Anyway, I’ve moved on to Gatorhost and so far I am pretty happy with them. I signed up for a reseller account so I could host sites on their own and not as addons to a primary domain. A cool feature which I have never used before is Cpanel. I was used to the steaming dung of a control panel offered by DH.
So I am hoping that the new hosting works out, because it was a pain in the ass to move all of my sites.
