That is just nonsense. I have been using Dreamhost for over 6 years
and have been up and running 99.9% of the time. 5 nines it is not,
but then who is?
By my math, 99.9% uptime would be less than nine hours downtime in a
year. On July 22, the entire DreamHost data center went down for
almost nine hours. The next day, their entire network went down for
twenty minutes. Yesterday, their entire network went down for five
minutes. That's already less than 99.9% download for the year, only
looking at the past week. I don't know about the previous five
years, but DreamHost has not had 99.9% uptime this year. That's not
according to me; that's according to DreamHost. You can read it
yourself:
Unlike many other hosts, DreamHost has no uptime guarantee, so
they're not even claiming to be reliable.
For $21.95/mo I get 78 gig of disk space and 2 tb of bandwidth...
plus all the extras I need.
Indeed, that's a great deal and I'm very happy with my own DreamHost
account, but only because reliability is not very important to me.
Michael said reliability is important to him, so I recommend against
DreamHost in his particular case. Your mileage may vary, batteries
sold separately, etc.
Peace,
Scott
