Thanks Ashley.
1. What sort of outages dopes DreamHost have?
http://uptime.besthostratings.com/viewreport.php?host=dreamhost
2. Any other hosting companies?
I was with http://www.johncompanies.com/jc_vps.html for awhile so I
could run a modperl app. I liked them very much. I never had a single
outage in two years (it was low traffic though) and was only asked to
reboot my stuff once.
3. Should we go for a virtual server instead, and install Catalyst
myself?
Maybe. If you do that don't use DreamHost, I think. If you're paying
$50+, look at JohnCompanies or some of the ones others have mentioned.
My install on DreamHost is completely custom though, just on a
regular account; in a local lib. That's part of why I like them
enough to stay despite some problems. You can do almost anything with
your account.

DreamHost is used by a few of us. It has several caveats. They
oversell and are somewhat dishonest about how they do it and what
their definitions for "disk usage" are. They have more outages than
some hosts (I would not put a 24/7 business there) b/c they let a
lot of dynamic, db-heavy, sites sit on boxes together. That said,
they have a nice control panel, they usually do seem to try to
please, they are typically zippy for flat files, and I can't find
anyone else who offers half of what they do, including fastcgi to
run you Cat app, for $8/month.
I've been there for 4 years for about 15 sites. There is a Catalyst
promotion code so that your signup goes to benefit Cat development.
Check the archives or (better still, they've changed how referrals
work in the last year) wait for someone else to post it again.

Can anyone recommend a web hosting provider for Catalyst
applications?
Or for that matter, warn us off any providers that you have had
bad experiences with?
