Seconded.
Dreamhost is fantastic at tone in their communications, especially broad public communications; they sound accessible, human, and open rather than corporate... and maybe they are, or maybe that's just part of their brand.
They are not, however, super reliable when it comes to availability, especially if your resource usage starts to approach something on the order of magnitude stated capacity, and in that case you will find out that there are the system rules they sold you on, and there's the unwritten rules which may or may not even be legible to you by the time you're done.
This is not unheard of when it comes to discount hosting, of course, and I don't expect them to be different. Just sayin' that neither should anyone else.
