HAPPY Dreamhost Customer

Dreamhost has been the best hosting experience I have had other than hosting myself on this machine. Right now they are having a bit of routing issues causing packetloss and slow page loads, and access to the control panel is hard or non-existant. People are going to complain and so forth, the type of people that feel the need to vent in a public forum so others can see.

Personally, my site was down once during nearly a year I have been with Dreamhost, and that was due to a massive power failure. My sites are all up right now and working, and support is posting to dreamhoststatus.com, so I am informed and happy. It will get fixed.

Let them piss and moan, I am loyal and happy with Dreamhost.

You obviously don't make money from your websites. Every minute my sites are down is money I'm losing, and customers who won't ever come back because the site doesn't load.

Actually I do from one of them, and it isn't down. It has been down only once, during the power problems.

God bless Dreamhost! They are the most blessed of all hosting companies in the universe! Thank God almighty for gracing the planet with their presence.

Personally, I think y0himba works for Dreamhost. I think they send their goons in here to try to spread propaganda...Well, if all of y0himba's sites are up, why in the world would she/he be hanging out in the forums? There's no reason at all to be here

This sure sounds familiar...I noticed that *you* only showed up on these forums, touting "alternate hosts" when things started to get ugly again...uh huh...

Your profile says it all....

You are a common Internet troll. Pathetic. That is my personal site, and no mention was made of profit from it. That's something you dug up in order to get a rise out of me. Acting as your are, why would I ever give you my business site or my other sites?

You are in here posting links to other hosts to look cool or tough or something. You are trying to goad me into a fight in order to fulfill some need you have to be superior or whatever. Common pathetic generic Internet troll.

If you want to think that I work for Dreamhost to fulfill your need, go right ahead. I don't however.

If you have something constructive to post I will be glad to engage you in discussion, other than that, enjoy spouting your pathetic little Internet troublemaker garbage to the masses, and being completely ignored.

Dreamhost is a wonderful host, and I have had nothing but good experiences with them, prompt support, great and easy features, and very little downtime in nearly a year I have been with them. When they were down, as now for some folks, they have done everything they can to scamble and fix it up.

Please, feel free to enjoin one of the hosts you are touting instead of trying to get attention and look cool or "leet" in a forum on the Internet.

I am done with you. Reply and try to look tough or save face or whatever it is you have a need to do, you get no more replies from me.

Why?

Because you're an idiot.

Actually, this is and always has been a customer support forum -- not just a place for spammers and dirtbags to hang out.

In reply to:

Do you ever hang out in the forums when your site is working? I didn't think so...

Read the forum titles. The purpose of this forum is clearly marked and obvious to anyone that's not brain-dead.

Does anyone here like frog legs?

since you've been cross-posting, I'll do the same...

In reply to:
my websites have been down ONCE in the almost year that I have been here.

If you check back through the status logs, you'll see DH has had more than one outage that dropped all services within the past year. So all you're saying with that comment is you don't pay close enough attention to your sites to have an accurate perspective.

Yawn. Do it from your real screen name... if your balls ever grow back.

You weren't even smart enough to reply to his post when insulting him. Good job.

You can't even pick on a little girl without hiding behind a fake name. If you weren't so stupid, you'd see just how pathetic you really are.

Seiler,

Did I invite you to my troll fest? I checked the guest list but I cannot find your name. You did RSVP, si?

Dreamhost has the fastest servers in the hugest of all universes!

I LOVE YOU DREAMHOST! I RUB MYSELF AT NIGHT THINKING OF YOU! ;)

Wow.... he's happy with DH and his sites are operational, so he must work for them?

What an idiot.

Go ahead, leave DreamHost. If you're as dedicated to annoying DH support as you are to annoying this community, they'd probably pay you to transfer your domain(s) away.

DreamHost rules.

Ouch, that would hurt even more if you'd log in with your name to post it.

You're really grasping. The funny thing is that you know every single thing I've said about you is true... and this really is the best you can do.

At this point, I don't blame you for being a spineless coward and hiding behind a fake name.

The sad thing is that you had to put a lot of thought into that post--and probably gave yourself a high-five as you submitted it.

Go love Stephen Harper!

People have businesses, and 80% of their servers crashed or some foo happened. They have too many customers and too little staff. They don't know how to manage them two together.

My site been down almost once every month. And now its been down for 24 + hours! Slow, down...

They should try to look into reality and start hiring more technical onsite guys. Cause it is clearly the case that they are short of staff. Maybe they all care about greed.

I guess dreamhost is just a place for personal websites. No Company or Buisiness should be hosted on DREAMHOST. It should be only for organizations, information, personal websites. Any Business/Company websites would not do too well wrt to the 60% uptime they have.

I was hoping to redirect my customers here, but clearly that would give a bad name for myself since every day, every minute, every second is money. And now its been down for 24 hours + and no sign of relief except a timeoutpage. I guess they wont conpensate their customers.

Before, the power went out, and their state of the art generators wern't working (do they really have generators?)... And now this.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY...GOD BLESS DREAMHOST!

Hey Genius, how many customers do you think they have--30? Try thousands. Do you see thousands of people here complaining? No? Then I guess they have thousands of happy customers. Wait, don't use that math, since it doesn't agree with your nonsense.

Yeah DH sucks... they're the only host in the world that ever had downtime. Being the 24th largest host doesn't mean anything since there are only 25 hosts on the planet. Everyone signed up at DH because they hate it here. No one is at DH because they want to be.

Wow. I tried to sound stupid, but I still came off as a genius compared to you.

Did your balls grow back yet? Ready to sign on with your real name, or are you still busy spamming for other hosts?

Yeah, I guess you could consider that an objective analysis of the DH customer base... if you completely ignored the fact that, by and large, only dissatisfied customers (or extremely satisfied customers) post in this forum. Your average satisfied DreamHost customer has no reason to post here unless they're bored.

Or a troll.

*edit* Haha seiler, you beat me to it!

Seiler,

"Whatsamattayou!?" We finally got 5 minutes without his annoying drivel, and you have to go bait him again? Arguugh! Normally, I'd be right there "troll-rolling" with you, but he enjoys it too much; he doesn't mind looking stupid, he just likes to agitate. Right now, my vote is to ignore the fool. wink

I happen to know that *some* "average satisfied DreamHost customer"s have posted on these forums after being helped by others in the forum, and are trying to "pay it forward".

When I was just starting out with Dreamhosted sites back in 1998, I needed a lot of help with suexec, the shell, etc., and *many* Dreamhost "oldsters" on this forum helped me a lot; I try to do the same to the degree that I can (well, okay, maybe on occasion I *am* bored, but that is generally *not* the reason I post here).

It really *doesn't* bother me that such altruistic attitudes are viewed by others as "abmormal", but I do find it *interesting* that they do smile

--rlparker

The problem is that he's so stupid that he could actually screw up something as simple as making himself look stupid -- so I'm just trying to help out. ;)

P.S. - IAmAtMyWitsEnd: If you're out there reading this trash, I do NOT think you are alternativehosts! tongue

hehe... yeah, so that's why I added the "by and large" clause. :)

DREAMHOST ROCKS!!!

In reply to:
Too little, too late though... I'm bailing out and converting as many people as I can as well.

Quit teasing us. We know you won't really leave; if you did, you couldn't continue to make such a fecal tornado of forum posts about how much DH sucks, now could you?

Stephen Harper

That's not recommending--it's spamming.

People don't need to hide behind fake accounts to make recommendations and anyone that's read one of your posts knows that you're too stupid to take advice from.

Your "I lost $500" thread is really great, because it lets people know that not only are you a spamming troll, but also a complete liar and clueless idiot.

Same here. I first hosted with Dreamhost in 96, and lots of people helped me out. So now I try to do the same when I have time.

I will say that in 10 years, this has been the worst year, and it's been bad enough for me consider leaving. So it's not just disgruntled newbs here.
