blog.dreamhost.com — OMG, Google is rumored to buy Dreamhost in an amazing deal based on the same business logic that let them buy YouTube. To quote a Dreamhost insider: "YouTube is basically a pared-down free web host that can only show video. P-SHAW!...WE are a FULL-Featured PAY web host...!"GOOG shares mixed after the news.

I don't know about you, but I think it's hilarious!

I agree, they are great for a blog but probably not a business. I use them and I like them plenty. One little thing though - I am still not sure, but I think my cc# leaked out of their database and is being used by someone on the internet now. I had to cancel it but it didn't cost me anything. They claim that there was no breach so I can't really say... just the time frame leads me to believe that was the source.By the way, don't digg this story as true guys; it's just a joke. If you already did, thank your lucky stars that you can go up and flag it as inaccurate. Now go on, do it!What are you waiting for? Scrollbar is right there ----------------------- _|

DreamHost sucks. Read this: <a class="user" href="http://www.upstartblogger.com/why-dreamhost-sucks.">http://www.upstartblogger.com/why-dreamhost-sucks.</a> They do have a sense of humor, though: <a class="user" href="http://www.upstartblogger.com/i-leave-dreamhost-dreamhost-leaves-me-almost-speechless.">http://www.upstartblogger.com/i-leave-dreamhost-dreamhost-leaves-me-almost-speechless.</a>

@Eleo -"There are a great deal of unsatisfied Dreamhost customers... Just Google "Dreamhost sucks" and see how many people loathe Dreamhost."You could Google for *insert any business here* sucks and you'll get all sorts of results. People like to bitch on the internet.

I love the way these blokes do their job. I love the newsletters. Actually i confess its the only newsletter i read entirely, cos i don't stop laughing all the way down.I wouldn't be surprised if Google wanted to buy you... oops.. i see 2 people with suitcases coming down the door...Well if this fake rumor takes place anyway, please keep your "pre-google" customers clean, green and happy (free hosting and goodies for life, thanks).Ciao!

DreamHost is an excellent webhost with a sense of humor, which is a large reason I keep paying. They provide hosting with a soul and brain. They also know how to make you laugh. This is an excellent post both in its hilarity and its possible seriousness, and is worth bringing to the attention of the general public as well as the google business department. These guys would be worth your while, even though they should never be bought out.

They are a great host, hopefully they don't go to crap the way youtube seems to be doing...

That just proves the point that Dreamhost has unsatisfied customers, genius.@jacobmp92Notice how there's more than one site about people's various difficulties with Dreamhost? There's pages and pages of Google results about it. I wasn't referring to just one site.On the other hand, there are some webhosts that you'd have difficulty finding complaints about. Dreamhost over-oversells, and many users suffer because of it.
