I still use and recommend Dreamhost, despite the problems they've been having recently. To be honest, despite all the handwringing about it around the net, I haven't noticed any downtime at all thus far for my sites. Maybe it's the timezone difference. *shrug* Anyway, take my recommendation for what it's worth -- I have made some money for referring people, but nothing like what Mike Davidson's made (I wish). In the last post I made about this, I provided some discount codes that would get you deals, and give me no referrer money whatsoever. Some or all of those may still be active.

But, in the interest of helping my kind, intelligent and ferociously sexy readers make informed decisions if they're looking for hosting, here are a few links discussing Dreamhost:

• AskMetafilter Discussion 1


• AskMetafilter Discussion 2


• AskMetafilter Discussion 3


• Mike Davidson's comments (I agree with them)


• The Dreamhost Blog entry on the Disaster (required reading, and reassuring, to me)

As always, using me as a referrer (more info) if you sign up will help me out with my own hosting costs, and buy me a few beers too (although I haven't gone for the one-time only referrer bonus, opting for recurring payments each year people stay with DH, assuming and hoping that people will stay with the service, as I have. If they don't, I don't get the couple of bucks a year, which seems fair).
