Mike,
We don't have pricing up yet, plans will start out at $5 a month which will be 
good for a site with nominal traffic somewhere around 5k unique visitors a 
month. This of course depends on number and size of assets served. After that 
the price per request will drop at each tier, the more you use the cheaper your 
per request transaction is. If you go over your limit for the month, your site 
will still work, it just won't be as fast.

George, 

DreamObjects is a product somewhat like Amazon's S3. You're storing a single 
file at a single location. If someone from china downloads the file it will 
take someone significantly longer than someone who is next to the data center 
where dreamhost has it stored. 

If you wanted to speed that up, you would need to make the DreamObject file 
available from your domain so `smile.png` could be served from 
`example.com/dreamobjects/smile.png` (and make that controller redirect to the 
proper dream object path). After you do that, you can put a CDN in front of 
your app. So when a visitor comes to your webpage, their browser sees a url 
like `http://jby73hjv7.cdnsumo.com/dreamobjects/smile.png` and the file is 
served from the closest CDN server to the visitor. If you're doing this though, 
make sure that if the file changes that it's filename changes. There is more 
info in the docs about this, or you can email [email protected] for direct 
questions.
