Yeah, DreamHost does some pretty shitty shit; I'm thinking about switching to a different host. I'd fucking much prefer to serve off of my own machines, but the only fucking residential internet connection around here is Comcast's bullshit overpriced assrape package (lol 20KB/s max up!) which I share with the 8 other people living in my house.
I asked around at the local datacenters; the cheapest co-location I found was to rent an entire fucking half-rack (22U), which, with power and pipes would run me about $750/month.
tl;dr, I have shitty hosting, big fucking deal. They give SSH access and are fairly lenient, so I don't care that they crash a filer once a month.
