I'm dreamhost.com user and i'm happy too, but, they are having many issues with the network, they solved all, but sometimes you can loose the service
for a couple of days, read www.dreamhoststatus.com

As i told they work very well, but note the issues.

I have "mirrors" in www.servage.net that works fine too, they don't give you shell access (i forgot to check this when signed), but they explain
very well their bandwidth policy.

Yes, server problems are exactly the problem with shared hosting (or reseller hosting) servers. We have 3 different reseller accounts, and on all three, the server went down on one occasion. Most of the outages were caused by either hardware failure (which seems to happen A LOT on those shared server boxes) or exploited user accounts (so even if your site is just static, but someone else on the server has an insecure script, you'll share the downtime). If you really want solid hosting, check out the Grid servers from mediatemple.net. I've used it for hosting rails applications and it rocks. Check out their customers and you'll know they're quite good.

FYI, we have reseller hosting servers at resellerzoom, varhosting and a2hosting, I've used dreamhost in the past and am not very positive about them. We also have a VPS at rimuhosting, one at Bytemark.co.uk, both are very very very good, but VPS is more expensive and you have to administer those servers yourself (but I really like having root access and being able to do what I want).
