One disadvantage of dreamhost which I think should be pointed out; If you have over 5k unique visitors daily. they suspend your account and force you to buy VPS.

But bluehost won’t do this.

I’ve been hosting with Bluehost for some time now and I have to agree: their reliability and speed are fantastic, but I’d like to add that their technical support and customer service are some of the best there is.

I was a DreamHost member from December 2007 to March 20th, 2008, and started using BlueHost since then. Here’s my experiences with DH, in point form:

- Mediocre up-time (compared to BlueHost so far — I was on the “Blingy” server with DH, and it was constantly down — e-mail was unreliable.)

- SQL databases are on a DIFFERENT server than the actual website, and thus have slower loading times for sites that need access to SQL.

- Load times for regular content (html, pics, etc) were fine.

- Good CP

Since I’ve switched to BlueHost, I miss some of the features DreamHost has (catch-all e-mail, for one), but reliability and speed are a must for me.
