I could deal with downtimes, I could deal with slow response times, I could deal with most things Dreamhost could throw at me, but now, in light of a tiny security breach. I can’t deal with that.
Sure, you get what you pay for, in this case very little for a lot of space and bandwidth, but you’d think a company that boasts about the 500,000 domains they host would be a little more conscientious about the small matter of security. Apparently not as even though they notified the people who had been hacked a day or so ago about the breach, it’s still going on, spreading like the proverbial wildfire…
Meanwhile they’re plugging awards nominations for “best blogging host”.
So yeah, they got’s to go! GOT’S TO GO! Anyone got recommendations for another host for our dozen or so domains? Man, a dozen domains, that’s gonna be fun to move, what with all the other fun stuff (dns, email, ftp, sql etc) that goes with it…
I like mine, bluehost.com. They are pretty cool, and they have a number you can call. I bitched and moaned to them about a problem before, and they totally changed servers for me, and solved it.
If you are interested, I get a referral fee, and would be glad to split it with you when I get it!
I moved to A Small Orange (http://www.asmallorange.com/) in January and have had no complaints. Support has been excellent with tickets answered quickly and accurately. Have no hesitation in recommending them.
Could of left them on a certain server … :)
