Dreamhost, Your support needs to wake up.
July 18, 2006 at 2:12 am | In dreamhost, gizmoojo, server issues | 7 CommentsThis is not my first time that I have been having problems with Dreamhost. But this time its consider the worst of it all. Its almost 3 days now since they declared on the Dreamhost Status blog that they are having trouble with one of the file servers. Ok I can understand that, hardware do fail and I have no problem with that. But what I don’t understand about their customer support is that although the file server issue is sort of, kind of resolved but its really not. The hostmachine is going really really really slow slow slow and what I mean by that is its really slow. Logging into the machine thru SSH and then do a “ls”, the directory listings would come back after 20-30 secs.
So meanwhile since I cannot do anything with the shared server that I have paid for, one year in full, I let my creative GIMP skills let lose. What are nice marketing campaign this would be for Dreamhost, the support team that are sometimes deep in their dream from their Party All Night Long. Thank you Dreamhost! I had fun making this. 8^)
Update… Ok Dreamhost.. I feel better now after laughing and rolling on the floor staring at this great masterpiece for some time……

So now they say things are getting “even worse” on dreamhoststatus.com. I just tried opening http://www.dreamhost.com and their MAIN PAGE gave a 404 error. This is really not looking promising.

It makes me wonder if their servers might have been infected by some kind of worm or virus… makes no sense that their other network is having problems too all of a sudden

Seriously what the fcuk is going on at dreamhost? They have been going down a lot recently. I am thinking about setting up my sites on another server if they aren’t up in the next little while.

The whole DH network is down. EVERY SINGLE SITE. That’s pretty incredibly bad.

I had initially gone with them because they were one of the first to offer RoR.. but looks like more n more webhoster are offering RoR.. I especially liked Railsmachine.com. Their founder is one of the author of Mongrel.. a lightweight Rails server.

What’s really ironic is how their blog ( http://blog.dreamhost.com ), talks about how much web hosting is marked up……yet, they can’t spend a little of that dough to get the servers up within 72hrs?
Seriously, WTF?
