And if you notice my more recent posts, I’m no longer a happy camper. Dreamhost’s policy on “long running” programs and not using ulimit means that I can’t use my disk space and bandwidth the way I want to. I’ll just take that aspect of my business elsewhere.

Edit: Yup, turning off wp-cache fixed the issue. Thanks for letting me know!

I had to click a bunch of times all around until I finally got the page back. I'd say there is something wrong with your server. Maybe you just aren't noticing it.</p> And what’s even worse, I didn’t receive a page when I posted that comment above. I had to click a bunch of times all around until I finally got the page back.

I had to manually reload after 5 seconds. Are you SURE you are getting good page loads and uptime? How would you tell? I am also on dreamhost and I will be switching soon. I have a couple different blogs using word press, and it takes one of them over 25 seconds to display the blog page. That's horrible service. All I want is a reliable blog service with my own domain and some simple e-commerce, and dreamhost can't provide the uptime or the response time.</p> Your web page didn’t load the first time I clicked it.

As just a general file dump, I've had next to no problems with it, and the price-to-space-and-bandwidth ratio lets me overlook the occasional downtime and instances where Apache just seems to go down for no reason.</p> <p>I have definitely heard about load problems, though, but with just a WP blog that no one reads and I never update (;__;), I've had no CPU usage issues whatsoever.</p> I got the same DH plan as you a few days after you did.

I have definitely heard about load problems, though, but with just a WP blog that no one reads and I never update (;__;), I’ve had no CPU usage issues whatsoever.

They have problems in the past, but it is nothing that I can't live with. Of the shared hosting companies, it is hard to find anything better.</p> I like dreamhost.
