I've honestly never considered Dreamhost a "shitty, bottom-feeding slime-ball." In fact, they're one of the companies I admire most. They're up-front, honest, and transparent about everything they do. EVERYTHING. Downtimes? Reported accurately and constantly. Mail server problems? Same. Accidentally over-charge your customers millions of dollars collectively? They told us about that too, even though similar incidents at other companies were covered up as well as possible. Seriously, they air their dirty laundry almost faster than they hand out their press releases. It's refreshing. Now, I wouldn't buy a DreamhostPS from them, no. I've heard about all the downtimes they keep having with them. But even still, they're one of the few companies I KNOW that about - pretty much everone else, I had to guess. (I'm still with them for my personal website and main email. Their control panel is the best in the business and their customer support is absolutely astonishingly good.)
