Sometimes my blogs would take a few seconds just to load and other times they wouldn't load at all. I switched over to HostMonster, and it's been great. I have a couple of sites that have been running smoothly since I switched. It's $5.95/month if you sign up for 2 years. <a href="http://www.hostmonster.com/track/brokegradstudent/text1" rel="nofollow">Aff link</a> in case you decide to go with HostMonster. -BGS I used to be on Dreamhost, but I experienced some major reliability issues.

Yeah..their frequent down times have been driving me nuts as well. But it's hard to yell at them when they respond so politely though...argh -R Hmm…Dreamhost not doing it for you any more?

You want something cheaper or what? I use both, having just moved financeandfat.com to MediaTemple from DreamHost (the MediaTemple server has been so much more stable so far). I still have sites at DreamHost though. Lets see...I also use CrystalTech (been with them for like 6 years, but I'm not a huge fan- they are reliable though). I also use CFDyanmics, but that's only if you want a ColdFusion site. I hear BlueHost is supposed to be good too. I would really avoid the super-cheapies if I were you...you get what you pay for more of the time. Why no DreamHost or MediaTemple? You want something cheaper or what?

It's always a pain, but I'd rather see ads than see the site fail to resolve. Tip jars are less annoying than banner ads, but do what you gotta do.

The only major problem I've had was when I got on the front page of reddit and got thousands of hits in a couple of hours. As much as people bash dream host, it’s been relatively nice to me.

I'm using them for a virtual private server for my business. Good customer support plus they're relatively local (in Delaware). Take a look at hostmysite.com.

I read mostly via my feed reader anyway :) Good luck finding hosting - I have no recommendations because I'm on DH right now and was thinking of switching to MediaTemple when my time was up... I had no idea there were problems with them... must do more research... oh bother. lol Keep up tracking the minutiae of your life, many of us greatly enjoy it :) This is one of my favorite sites and I’d much rather you blog with ads than stop blogging without them.

It maybe worth looking into. I’m checking out livingdot.com and nexcess.com for my move in about a month, both are quite popular with the movable type community. It maybe worth looking into.
