Their FTP is easy to use and you can add a fuckload of users and passwords through the web panel really easily as well as mail servers while restricting the amount each inbox gets. When I go use godaddy's web panel after dreamhost I'm annoyed, but I still mainly register domains through godaddy or gkg.net.
Hamtunes is on dreamhost shared server and uses word press, I can't think of a time where the domain ever went down either. The main page loads 25 stories, many times with youtube videos in them pretty quickly too. Really over the last year I've been a huge supporter of dreamhost due to their fast as shit customer service (even through e-mail) and the way they have things set up. None of the sites I maintain really have an insane amount of streaming media on them though just fyi. Oh and another knock off godaddy is I have a company that uses their web servers through godaddy and the shit will randomly throw shit into spam. You'll flag it as not spam and it will show up in the inbox one or two times then start doing it again. Godaddy mail servers have given me my fair share of headaches. |
Thanks very much for giving me better confidence in Dreamhost!

Ive been on their basic plan for this whole time and they just recently upped it to 3.5TB of Bandwidth and 350GB of storage, all for $7 a month. A great deal and like I said, a great host. |
Cool, I'll check them out as well.
Thanks guys, I was worried this forum was too quiet to get an answer. <3!
