In $20 per month plan, (mt) seems to have problems. @Madhur: BlueHost is probably the way. In $20 per month plan, (mt) seems to have problems.

MT may be expensive but they offer VPS hosting at around 200$ a year. You can go for BlueHost or Media Temple. MT may be expensive but they offer VPS hosting at around 200$ a year.

But as I said, I'm looking for suggestions to move out of Dreamhost, not into it :D @Venu: Thanks for the opinion. But as I said, I’m looking for suggestions to move out of Dreamhost, not into it :D

I am still on the first year of subscription and managed to get the 97$ discount while signing up.. You can also check on yahoo hosting.. My vote also would be for Dreamhost !

That alone is enough. MT's (gs) has serious problems, and is already out of contention for me. @Chris: 1and1 is pretty much like DH - el cheapo. @Ayush: MediaTemple has generous limits and generous price too :D @Dilip: DH has downtimes, and more importantly, they recently messed up my WP install resulting in 12 hours of my site being offline.

I really don't know why you are considering a switch. To be honest this has been my second host and I totally love it. They are the best in terms of interacting and informing customers well in advance of any problems. If you are wary that your shared hosting plan won't keep up in future consider dreamhost PS. It comes with dedicated CPU and RAM for about $15 a month. Incase you still wanna switch I suggest Bluehost. Mediatemple is tempting but heard Grid Server is still getting problems now and then. Anyways keep us posted on your decision. I’m with dreamhost. I really don’t know why you are considering a switch. To be honest this has been my second host and I totally love it.

And yes, I'll need just 5 databases in total, so that's not a problem. @PitaBread: Thanks for your suggestion.

However, I don't charge setup fees or charge for premium telephone support (or for any forum/ticket support). I still sell accounts the way I did 10 years ago...you buy the disk space and the bandwidth, you use it however you want. If you can fit 10,000 email addresses or 500 databases in your disk space...so be it. However, most of the sites we host have a couple db's at most, usually one for testing and one for production.

Uptime has been very good, speed has been good. Because it's a PTA web site it does not get a lot of traffic but we have never had any issues. Support is friendly and helpful (but I don't need much either). We host our PTA web site on Doreo. Uptime has been very good, speed has been good.
