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.

While I’m at it, might as well join the parade:
jacob@codechunk:~$ history|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’ |sort -rn|head
108 sudo
56 cd
36 tail
35 ls
31 svi
28 vi
19 screen
19 fg
17 ckbw
14 htop
svi = sudo vim
ckbw = script to check bandwidth on an apache site.

There you have it.
