Yes, my Blogsmith-powered blog is safe from all these issues, and has some of the best people behind it, but I do have other sites and projects, and they're hosted on Dreamhost. In fact, some of them are clients and friends' sites. The $7.5 million dollar fuckup notwithstanding (it didn't affect me), Dreamhost's ridiculous amount of downtime in the past 2 years versus the great service they offered when I first jumped on has gotten ridiculous.

High class problems to have, I suppose - they grew too fast. But I use a fraction of my alloted services, so it kind of makes me think, why not scale back the 180,000TB of storage and bandwidth you offer customers like me who pay only $10 a month?

The only thing they seem to be doing is coasting by on their "personality," i.e., joking on their blog about mistakenly charging customers hundreds of dollars.

At any rate, my account comes up for renewal next month, and I think I'm going to be gone by then.
