I was with these guys for two years in the early days when I didn’t know better. Slow, constant downtime oversold cheap hosting. They are so oversold and are a massive favourite with those that host adult related sites so your bandwidth and resources often get choked.

they were ok until i started getting a lot of traffic, and they cut me off with a weeks notice.

would only use for small static sites

Good for a cheap web server, and even cheaper with promo code. Good level of support and the control panel is excelent.

Only downfall is that the servers are in USA so loading a page can be slightly longer.

Great service, excellent prices with a range of decent hosting packages.

Had to contact the support team due me not being able to access the site. Turns out my IP address was blocked on their server for some reason but the problem was rectified within a couple of hours after my initial contact.

Great stuff!

I used the Promotional Code: 45n5
and signup and setup was pretty fast.

Get a discount of up to $97 through this site I found on digg. It appears to work. but the discount varies depending on how much you spend and only works for the first year afaik.

Promotional Code: 45n5

Great uptime and reliability, speed and space. Never use half the bandwidth and space they provide on shared.

Used the promo code ‘SAVE49DOLLARS’.
Which, as it says, saves 49 dollars on orders.

Excellent support for Ruby on Rails and great SSH access, it’s very powerful. For those that don’t know, SSH is a command line interface directly controlling your web space. With it you can install software and it’s all well documented in a n expansive dreamhost wiki. I wouldn’t call this a beginners host, but a powerful main host for technical users. 9 out 10 because their email support is a little slow.

I’ve just moved over from Hosting-Unlimited, to Dreamhost and I must say the support that Dreamhost give is far far more friendly, patient and useful. I love the panel they have, I prefer it to cpanel actually.

very good. their control panel is a bit iffy. but for the price you can’t complain. just wish they used cpanel. took about a day to work out how to use their control panel propperly.
well cheap. two years hosting unlimited sites for about £50 cos i used a code on http://www.internetsplash.com/save-money/dreamhost.php
cheap as. no downtime yet either.
