I bought dreamhost hosting about 7 months ago now. And its bought for my main domain www.henegamacc.org which is non profit school project. And that time dreamhost had promotion for 1 year hosting for $9 with free domain name with whois protection. So think about that, that's a great deal! And I thought Ill face problems soon because the hosting package is cheap and its selling hard! But never had problems till now. Now I host more than 5 of my autoblogs and other 2 sites. Non of them didnt had any of problems or data loss so far!
Dreamhost gave me surprising speeds and worth for buck! Their custom control panel is very easy to manage than Cpanel. The only problem on their custom control panel is it doesnt have web stats system like awstats or webalizer. That should be fixed by dreamhost that's the only problem I seen on their cpanel! Their support team is great and they always answers my support tickets less than a hour. (I cant believe that too :D ) And they always keeps you updated on their status blog that is the the best way to know their info!

Although I'm very much satisfied with dreamhost! and I'm hosting with them next years!
