Dreamhost - Good or Bad ? Read Reviews

Lets check some reviews,



- I've been using the Dreamhost service for almost a year (come June/July), most everything has been working well, despite the occasional downtime and billing issues. As of late, however, the service has done nothing but degrade. 
To start the saga, I noticed that several of my websites hosted on my VPS were experiencing server-response time issues according to Google Pagespeed. As most would do, I checked the forums to determine if the issue was localized to my account, or if others had been experience similar issues. Finding a post, I replied with my information, and attempted to join in on the conversation, alas, my reply was almost immediately flagged for spam, and I was permanently banned from the forums, in both replying and reading any posts or comments. Not only could I not inquire as to the cause of the slow load-times for several of my websites, but I still had to deal with the main issue.
I would not recommend this host to anyone, their support team is lax in most departments, and takes several hours, if not a full day to respond to what should be extremely simple requests.
Actually i agreed with him.

          Another Review,
- I've started using Dreamhost's DreamObjects service to host some files online 'in the cloud'. At the moment, these are mainly site backups. So far, I cannot fault this service. Here are some highlights:
1. Their pricing is highly competitive. Their regular advertised prices beat the major competitors. Their introductory pricing is even better still.
2. It's compatible with the Amazon S3 APIs. This means I can use Cyberduck, and pretty much any other tool used to interface with S3.
3. No downtime, support issues, etc. In the few weeks I've been using this service, I have had zero issues. None at all. It'll be interesting to see if this holds up over time, but so far so good.
          Do we believe that?
And the other review,
- This is by far the WORST company I have ever come across. Their customer service could not be worse. If something goes wrong there is no way to get in touch with them other than via email which is entirely unhelpful. They are extremely slow at fixing problems. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this company! 
- We started using Dreamhost because they have a one-click OpenVBX installer, which made getting up and running with OpenVBX very easy. (This is a GREAT feature - liked it a lot!)
The costs are SUPER reasonable (less than $10 / month).
Also, their support personnel are very nice to deal with. They appear to be US-based (or at least I had absolutely no problems at all communicating with them - including when I spoke with them on the phone.)
However, we rely on our phones to work, 24x7.
Being a software company ourselves, I can understand minor downtime and such - but I got sick of hearing "Hey - are our phones down again?" every month or so.
Yesterday we experienced *yet another* outage - this time it was related to our shared MySQL server being down. Status for this server did not show up in our "panel", and I didn't get any sort of support response for over an hour (not the fault of the friendly support folks - but still.)
That was the straw that broke this camel's back. We switched to Rackspace, and were up and running with a new OpenVBX setup in two hours for $16/month.
As nice as the one-click-installer is, and as great as the price is, ultimately it wasn't a workable situation for us.
If you're looking to throw a project up on the web, and don't mind some occasional (and relatively "minor" downtime), then I'd say Dreamhost is a great deal.
But if you care about uptime, you're willing to pay just a little bit more, and you have some technical expertise in house, I'd seriously consider hosting elsewhere. 

Now, You'll choice, Dreamhost good or bad? if you ask to me, i dont like that.
