Review

I have been using dreamhost for over a two years. When using wordpress, phpbb, zen-cart, or oscommerce dreamhost is great. Even with standard html or xhtml webpages, dreamhost is excellent.

However, when using Joomla or Drupal (intense mysql database driven software) dreamhost fails. The servers will crash and you will see a 500 Internal Server Error message on your website. This is unacceptable in todays environment.

So, If you want to host standard websites and softwares use dreamhost. However, if you require the use of Joomla, do not use dreamhost. There shared servers are poor and the uptime is around 90%.

I remain a dreamhost customer, however I will be moving my Joomla sites to another webhost.
