Dreamhost Promises Better Webhosting in 2007

Dreamhost webhosting has posted an article about their new year resolutions. If your site was bugged with web hosting server issues last year, this year may be better. Some reflections from their post show a reason to smile for Dreamhost customers.

“After the power outages this summer, the building started literally BLEEDING data center tenants, figuratively. This had two effects. Ichi, it forced them to start taking their UPS and generator problems seriously, and as of now they actually seem to have things in order. In fact, believe it or not, just TODAY the building experienced a power outage from DWP… and for the first time ever we were not affected at all!”

“this fall we expanded to two more facilities, with dark fiber connections between all three.”

“We’ve put many many fewer users per web server, mysql server, and mail server, added load balancers, beefed up our network equipment, and have added new targets (that we now have the power to attain) for server stability.”

“we spent over ONE MILLLLION DOLLARS on hardware in November alone! That’s more than we normally spend in a whole quarter! And in fact, things are quantitatively more stable now across our whole system than they’ve ever been in the past.”

The unofficial dreamhost blog reviews their important achievements in 2006 and its all for the better. An important issue of concern they fixed earlier was remove CPU minutes usage limits. Recently Dreamhost became a top 20 web hosting company with 400K domains names. Now I have more reasons why I love Dreamhost.

Are they still overselling? You decide. Switch to Dreamhost.
