It has been recommended a lot on hacker news before, I didn't realize it had a negative connotation. I just signed up for a year, previously was hosting off a local machine for my personal stuff, for $10 a year I'll make it someone else's problem. We use Engine Yard for our business stuff, but can't beat this for personal.
- lux 18y agoFor personal or non-critical sites, Dreamhost are great. Their reputation stems from the fact that they publish their issues openly on a blog with comments enabled and zero moderation (dreamhoststatus.com). So the kicking and screaming that goes on when sites are down (and all shared hosts go down about the same on average) is publicly visible. This both damages their reputation compared to hosts without such a public forum for venting, and strengthens it on the honesty side of things too. I've used them for several years though for non-critical sites and I've been as happy with them as with any other shared host (and I've used quite a few over the years).
