Seconded. When Dreamhost works, it is excellent. When it fails, it fails really, really badly and the support is often shockingly inept.
Just two examples from my painful membership:
1. I transferred a domain back into Dreamhost. Due to a bug in their system, it was immediately dropped and entered the redemption period, and asked me for a large redemption fee. Support was wholly unable to acknowledge any problem on their part, and only resolved it when I posted the issue on Webhostingtalk.com
2. After requesting a refund onto my credit card after another hideous incident, rather than crediting my card, they debited it. Again, support were completely unable to acknowledge any problem on their part. Instead, when I asked the reason why my card was debited, they said I was charged for "services" - but were unable to itemise the services I had been charged for when challenged. They only refunded the money as "courtesy" rather than an acknowledgement on their part.
Dreadful.
If your storage requirements are small, I strongly recommend medialayer.com. For a budget option, I recommend asmallorange.com
