I had a recent downtime too, because they decided to change their DNS without any warning. It took me 79hours of sending emails before they even bothered to reply to me !! Make sure you request for compensation ! ipowerweb gave me a free 1 year extension of my contract, and they gave me 3 GB of extra storage (which I immediately filled with 3 GB of random-data, just to make sure it would cost them ;-)) We have other sites at slicehost.com It looks like they take their customers more serious then the cheap hostingproviders do.

After they shut us down we argued and eventually reach an agreement where they won't shut us down again without prior notice. We're still planning on moving to a new host - most likely Pair.com (although I've since moved all of my personal sites to Slicehost.com) - but we're waiting until we have the new design ready before making the switch. @Adrian

As I was also aiming for dreamhost to lay my site down and it no longer seems as a viable company. I was just wondering… did you guys by any chance switch the hosting provider?

And, for the record, I was one of the many people who visited your site when it took off. I loved it :) @javan

I wasn't even touching a database. Their admins, without warning, renamed the public folder and then email me about it, <em>much later</em>.

If you want a host that will take the time to contact you and try to solve the problem with you before taking down your site try a smaller host such as WebFaction or ASmallOrange PS: Love your captcha :) DreamHost did the same to me … If you want a host that will take the time to contact you and try to solve the problem with you before taking down your site try a smaller host such as WebFaction or ASmallOrange
