I've been super-pleased with Dreamhost.

I want to second Evil Jimi's rec - Host Affection has worked well for me. Heard good things about dreamhost from others besides Jilli though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I use Dreamhost and have been well pleased with it. But--and this won't apply to you, ND, or at least I doubt it will--over the last month they've been going through certain users' accounts and looking for reasons to delete their files for TOS violations. But folks that have been cleverer about their files have gotten through unscathed. Anyway, it's a result of DH offering these huge service plans, with loads of space and bandwidth, figuring no one would actually need or use that much space, and then running out of bandwidth and room because, whaddaya know, people actually did use what they were offering.
Which is not to say don't go to Dreamhost. It's just a note about how they've been operating.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I just moved to Dreamhost, and have been very pleased.

Interesting note on the Firefox 2.0 troubles--I'm running 2.0 on my Ubuntu partition, and using it the same way I use FF in Windows, ie running about 80 tabs and a fair number of extensions, it's almost no drain on the CPU. Certainly no comparison to the constant restarting I have to do in Windows with only even five tabs! So I wonder if it's just a Windows build thing.

I switched over from eHostPros to Dreamhost a while back, and have been very happy with them. (I don't use iWeb, but their control panel has always played nicely with my Mac.)

I wish I'd gotten a huge bandwidth Dreamhost account. I must have missed that promo.
