So my hosting company DreamHost is awesome. For 15.95 USD a month I get 60GB of storage on the server and 1.6 TERABYTES of bandwidth per month! Check them out, they’re far and away the best hosting company. Why am I mentioning this? Well last night they quadrupled my disk storage and octupled my bandwidth for no extra charge. Any company that gives me quadruple what I paid for at no extra charge deserves major props. Not only that but the storage limits increase all the time. I get 16 more GB of bandwidth every month as well as 2 more GB of storage for no extra charge.
Well done DreamHost nerds, well done.

For innocents : Dreamhost is dying as a webhosting business..
Why??
For they lost focus of providing secure and stable services, in exchange for focussing for making lots and lots of money..
These kids havent learned yet that money is NOT everything in business. .and everyone who is at the top is there only because they understand that.
Weeks after you signup. .you will realize that their mail, dns, svn and all common servers go down everyday atleast for an hour because people at dreamhost dont know how to be a stable and reliable webhost.
Interestingly, they will call the severity as ‘medium’ or ‘low’ on such gruesomely serious issues. And if you ask them they would happily restart the servers.
Sometimes, their support staff go to the extent of arguing.. we have not restarted the servers in past 12 hrs.. isnt that stable enough.. :) he he.
May they rest in peace.
What about having your web site powered by solar….AISO.Net (http://www.aiso.net) is 100% solar powered, both their servers and data center are powered by onsite solar panels. And they also have a partnership with Co-Op America, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Green Building Council. Plus, they are doing more then just making sure their electricity is green. Their data center and office is green too by using environmentally friendly air conditioners, solar tubes to bring in natural light, a propane powered generator instead of diesel, VMWare virtualization to reduce their server electricity usage, 6 watt energy saving desktop computers for their employees, and soon to be LEED certified as a green data center, the only public one in North America, at least that I have found so far.
