    I've used Dreamhost for about a year. You can definitely find worse than them, but also better, for a similar price. That is unless you manage to get one of those $10 for 1 year of hosting deals like...

    Maybe they run a "repair" on the database and that gets rid of overhead. You could try to setup a cron to do the same (or do it manually on a regular basis), and see if that reduces or eliminates the...

    That would constitute link/PR selling, and Google doesn't like that at all. It could actually end up hurting WHT.



    WHT is just a PR6 I think. Besides, it matters less what the home page PR is,...

    That is true for any other site out there, including forums. Forums have their own additional natural bias too: hosts that are active on the forum will be talked about a lot more often than similarly...

    I think that the control panel choice is very important if you are a provider. Much less so for the average customer, especially a new user who will face a steep learning curve regardless of which...

    Actually, no. This is not a lottery with a high but still finite number of possible results, so you can just buy all the tickets and be 100% sure that you will win.



    Pure science. :agree:

    Well, from what I recall UH was adamant about not overselling space and bandwidth, so, besides the high quality of service that you testify for, that's another reason for the relatively high price.

    There's always a reseller account like that of Resellerspanel, where you pay only if you have customers. $100 should last you for a while in this case.

    Personally, I would consider 3M inodes on a VPS to be a not so good idea.

    The real problems will arise when you try to do backups, or check the disk for errors. Those will tax the VPS (which is...

    People are self centered. They just want a service they can forget about. I think you're doing fine with that 3% rate.
