    Default Dreamhost 1tb plan for 7,99 it sucks :D

    k try to push more then 300gb of thumbtraffic thru it in 20 days and see how they suspend your account for excessive use of resources

    the traffic wqe pushed there was less then 10k per day as that network has got all thumbnails on a box of mine.

    needless to say we got the account deleted and moved on.

    I'm pretty sure the "ressource" has nothing to do with the bandwidth pushed but more with the CPU and mem use on the box, which is SHARED. That is why you don't pay much per month.

    Dreamhost is cheap, you pay for what it is.

    Unless they define an accepable use of resources in their TOS, they need to be shitlisted.

    mate they ment bandwidth resources, im 100% sure of that...still 10k of thumbtraffic thats nothing, even on a bad config virtual account it should still not be a prob, unless they dont know hteir shit and made some terrible config mistakes on the box, whatever it is imho it a too shady thing too just turn someones hosting off completly without even a single prior notice.

    sorry man you might be happy with them, id rather trust my shit with a company that at least knows what they are doing, i reckon you all know what companies i like for my hosting

    Well it's just that you pay for cheap shit, you get cheap shit.

    If you can get a dedicated, it's the way the go to.

    I've never once seen a good review of dreamhost from an adult webmaster. I don't understand why people keep signing up with them. I've seen the same story on every board over and over again for, has to be over a year or two now.

    first off, they spammed our board that they were so great for thumbs.

    second in theory if i pay for the usage of 1tb should i be able to use the 1tb or been cut off after 300gb?

    third and most important this was only a test as 10k of traffic is obviously three times nothing they should be able to handle that easily.

    like my reply undern eath yours allready stated they had someone or a rep of them fly a sig on our support board, the sig clearly stated how good they would be for the thumbs on your mgp/tgp. thats why we took em up for a test. also with them it makes a huge difference on what server you get placed, they got good ones and bad ones

    I emailed them for any comments: (because i also use them.... )

    this is dreamhosts answer:

    Hello,

    > any comments?

    They're entitled to their opinions. As someone who sees what
    gets disabled and why, it's not a bandwidth issue. It would
    be a CPU issue most likely especially if his thumbnails are
    being generated through an image processing library. I don't
    know and couldn't give out the details of his account state or
    why it was disabled or even if he had one.

    A dedicated server is always better and more stable than shared hosting
    ( provided
    that the person setting up the dedicated server knows what they're doing
    )
    and at the same time a dedicated server is atleast 150 a month ( Virtual
    Privet
    Servers about 99 ) and that's about the amount we charge for a year of
    service.

    Do not hesitate to contact me again if there is anything else I can
    assist
    you with or you have any other questions or concerns.

    Thanks,
    Mike J

    thnx ska,

    fyi, no thumbs are being created on that box, all are being created on one of our 14 dedicated servers.

    we did not take these accounts because we dont have the bandwidth to spare, we took these accounts because someone on our support board kept posting them as a good solution in topics where people asked for a good remote thumbs solution. naturally if they get posted i check em out

    regards,

    Ed

    all those cheap hosts do that...
    that huge bandwidth is like an illusion, you will never spend it in a month the way they want it.

    How about the company servage? I was also looking at them as a new host.

    Thanks!

    crap! are there any good hosting company's that offer over 250 gigs per month of bandwidth at a low price? If I'm going to keep submitting galleries to the hun I am going to need it :p

    Though the places I deal with now for my sites are good, ATCI and WebAir, they offer lower bandwidth.

    My very first hosting account was $4.99/month - too bad it worked only 10 mins out of the whole day.

    Bad starting experience didn't deter me from my chosen path of pornography though. It was always meant to be.
