I have no issues with DreamHost's service. Before I moved to a VPS provider, I was with them for all of my hosting. They had provided (and still do provide) great service and reliability for a shared host. Customer service for the most part is excellent, and gets things done in usually 5 minutes to an hour. But when your signup form begs you not to leave, then you better run as fast as you can. When trying to close the page:

  1. An alert appears.
  2. A confirmation dialog appears.
  3. If you hit Cancel, the "live chat" appears.
  4. Trying to close the "live" chat yields another confirmation box.

There you have it.
