Dreamhost made a $7.5 million billing error
- dcurtis 19y agoThis affected a ton of people, so I figured it's at least partially relevant. Who here was multiple-billed?

- tlrobinson 19y agoYup... but I don't have automatic payments set up so I wasn't charged. "This is just a notice that your DreamHost Account #XXXXXX has a balance of $119.40 (including any charges not due until 2009-01-23), with $119.40 due (since 2008-12-23). You also have $109.45 past due (owed since 2008-11-23), and if by 2009-01-23 you do not pay at least the $109.45 part, your account will be automatically suspended until payment is received." The good news is I have until 2009-01-23 to pay it :)
- kingnothing 19y agoI was. They billed me twice, for a total of around $240. I shot off an email to them when I found out and they replied, apologized, and said it would all be sorted out in a couple of days. No big deal for me since it was on a credit card, but I'm sure others were more adversely affected than me.

- patrickg-zill 19y agoSo is it safe to assume their annual billings are abuot 7.5 Million?
- dcurtis 19y agoIt only billed people who have automatic billing enabled. So from month-to-month autobill people, 7.5 million is probably right. Total income? Probably much, much more.
