I know a friend who is on Godaddy.com. I guess they are okay if you are on their dedicated but any shared servers will have some serious down problems with more traffic I guess.

Hey Max Great post…..Have you ever tried Godaddy hosting? I am currently using them and your post got me thinking what will happen when I get over the 500 mark a day which looks like it is coming quick..

Thanks for sharing your experience with us Tom. I believe that the case must be the same with everyone, if there’s one bad experience, that’s not providing equal support for Dreamhosts’ customers or whoever it is. I am still not convinced. Although there is a “monthly” bandwidth limit, that’s not the problem with Dreamhost, they also have hidden “daily” bandwidth.

If you don’t believe me, try clicking on your website about 5000 times in a row and you will see your server go down or at least slow down a lot. That shouldn’t happen.

Anyways, thanks again for sharing the info, we like discussing this topic, don’t we?

I suppose I really have to disagree with you about the apparent limitations of shared hosting. Maybe this was something that you “personally” experienced, but I can guarantee that the shared hosting I’ve used has been able to handle a lot more that 500 to 1000 uniques per day.

The major disagreement I have with you is about Dreamhost. I’ve been using them for the past two years for shared hosting, and plan on staying with them, because I’ve had no problems at all. You say “DreamHost is worst because they lock your site automatically when you exceed the maximum allowed bandwidth”… hard to imagine that you reached the maximum allowed bandwidth when they allow you 50TB and Bluehost only allows 15TB.

There’s been times, in the past, when I had a site with over 5000 uniques per day, most of them sucking down about 25Mb, each with no problems at all. Honestly, I think it’s less about your hosting provider and more about your configuration.

I had a bad experience with SurpassHosting.com, myself, but that doesn’t mean that other high traffic sites have had the same experience.

Thanks a lot for sharing your hosting experience! Always I was looking for a good, reliable hosting company.
But, regard DH. I have many websites there on the on single account and I have more than 5000 visitors/day/all websites and its run well, no problems at all.

sometime is slow, sometimes are down (for short time) but I’m till now I’m satisfy by DreamHost.

Anyway, I’m looking for a dedicate servers hosting company and your experience is good to know.

PS: stay away of Netfirms! First I was hosting at Netfirms and was a NIGHTMARE!
