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.
