Active incident at Dreamhost forcing password reset

No, they’re still doing well.

Support is primarily via chat these days.

Pricing wise they don’t beat Herzner anymore but are somewhat competitive with Digital Ocean.

I am gradually moving everyone to my own self hosting mostly for supportability reasons. We want to react in seconds, not hours, when a customer has an issue.

I'm still at DH (have been for 20 years), but taking a peek at Hetzner... seems compelling at 30% cheaper than I pay now.

Just be warned Hetzner will delete your account at the slightest sign of controversy. It's fine for Minecraft but I wouldn't want to host a political website there.

I've been using Contabo, and so far, the service has been quite stable and professional. Updates are handled automatically, and I haven't encountered any major issues DigitalOcean seems a bit slower and more expensive in comparison, especially when Contabo offers a VPS with 4 CPU and 8 GB of RAM for just 4.50 euro/month.
