Dreamhost is down. All of it.

You've got it. Call IBM and ask them about managed hosting. You can use the Dreamhost prices as a reference, just add 3-5 zeroes on the end.

If you buy a $500 car, never service it, and it breaks down unexpectedly, do you call for a new paradigm of personal transportation, or do you say "rats, well it was cheap and served me well while it lasted"?

Is avoiding 33 minutes of downtime worth tens of thousands of dollars to your business? Didn't think so.

I switched from DH, where I had constant outage problems, to Slicehost and Linode, both of which have never had outages (for me), for only $15 more a month...

That's nice, and $15/month probably buys you a lot over DH -- but it's not like Slicehost is immune:

I recently switched from DH to linode as well. Best decision I've ever made.
