DreamHost.com, Reliable?
I am currently parking a domain with http://www.dreamhost.com/ , and was wondering if there is anything I should know about this host before paying for the full service.
Thanks.

mtgm,
They are part of the newdream.net network (whatever that is?
). I assume that they are not resellers, but all of my ping sources are down. In my honest opinion, they are not competitive. I think that their prices are a little overboard, especially when you look at their dedicated list.
When a host does not include more than one POP3 account in a package (excluding extra charges) until you pay $45/month, I loose all respect for them.
Another thing, you said that you are parking a domain with them. I know $30/year (Their price) is less than $35/year (Net. Sol.), but $15/year (Jumpdomain.com [associated with opensrs.org])is better.
I just registered two domain names a few days ago, and paid a total of $30, no parking fees. You bought one domain name for $30, and if I am correct you are paying $2.49/mo for it.
I know a company has to make profit, but don't rip people off.

Everyone here has a website. It's just that not all are worth posting (Mine!

Hello,
So far, I never heard anything bad about them. I have a few friends hosting with them and they seems excellent. But I cannot give you my personal experience though.
Anyway, give it a shot. They're worth it. Thank you.
Regards,
Andrew
