I have also been with Dreamhost for years and register domains and use shared hosting with them for a few websites. I have nothing but good things to say and I think it's really cool that they are Employee Owned. Ten or so years ago when I was in high school and I put up a PHP web proxy at Dreamhost so that I could browse blocked sites on the school desktops. It ended up on some web proxy list and got flooded with traffic. I got the most kind email for such a blatant ToS violation: > I've had to disable your domain due to it almost crashing the server because someone was hammering the proxy you put up there. We do not permit public proxy scripts on shared webservers; please remove the software. You may reenable the domain with non-proxy content if you wish.
