I was with Dreamhost for about 4 years. I really like the control panel and features they make available. My problem is with speed and uptime. I think it matters if you get put on a shared server that is bogged down or not. About 80% of the time I would load up my site there would be a 2 to 3 second delay before anything appeared. Doesn’t sound like much but when you’re adjusted to everything loading quickly, it’s really annoying and probably results in others leaving my site. There was also more downtime than I am comfortable with.

I have two web hosts, 1and1 and Dreamhost. Dreamhost has more features and applications to install, but their database servers seem a little slow sometimes. I doubt I will be renewing my contract with them because of this. I would not recommend them for any serious hosting, but sometimes they run deals for the first year. Hope this helps.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend Dream Host service. I’m confident Dreamhost would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting. I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
