Hello,

I don't want to start any flames or drive the topic "out of" but… I've had dreamhost for about 3 years and I had to leave because the support was bad.

My website got banned by google because it was hosted in the same server with some infected websites (same public IP). Then I discovered than even my wordpress installation was infected and it was not from 'outside'. Someone probably had hacked their server.

All I was getting were tickets and pretty lame support tech's telling things I've already had done on my own more than 4 times in a row. I had to change to a smaller, Greek web-hosting company, which is driven by two "UNIX freaks" who offer pretty 'serious' support and are at the same price. I won't mention them here, it's not an ad or something. Just want to point out that huge web providers like Dreamhost offer lots of possibilities, but this flexibility at *that* price comes… *with a price*.

Best Regards, 


+1 for Heroku.
