I was with a local reseller web hosting company ManasHosting here in India, and I had a nightmare for around 3 years with them. They provided me cheap windows web hosting but the service was poorest of poor. Then I migrated to Dreamhosting and I am proud to be associated with them. Their service is superb. They treat you like a valued customer and try to help you in every possible way. They also possess some very good technical experts who go out of the way to solve your issues.

Their control panel speaks for itself. It is full of everything that is generally required by a website owner.

Their knowledge base is again filled with everything. I like their portal where they keep posting status of the server. If something happens to the server, you can track it there (http://www.dreamhoststatus.com).

Till now I am hosting my four websites with them and have already recommended DreamHost to 3 of my friends.

I got >99% uptime for two consecutive months which I never got from my previous host.

I am really loving it and I would definitely recommend it to as many people as I can.
