They are the only host I've seen that counts "hits" to your databases. While my code is all efficient and does not needlessly query a database, it is extremely limiting and punishes you if you have a heavily visited site. They even have recommendations to use persistent connections in their knowledgebase which is even worse in a shared server environment such as theirs. The typical limits you run into in webhosting is bandwidth only, but Dreamhost limits you in a second way which is frustrating considering the rest of their offerings are decent. |
Yeah, I saw that. The plan the special covers, though, allows for 25 million database connections a month. You'd have to have a pretty popular site to go over that... (a la Slashdot)
I can see how it might be annoying for the lower plans, though.
