I was sold on the claims of unlimited bandwidth and space, but unglued when their support team told me that my account would be suspended due to high transfer bandwidth use, I was no longer believing their bull. Then after they had a billing snafu, and charged everyone that had a credit card on file the next year's dues, I was awestruck. (Luckily, I had set my settings to NOT auto-bill). I stayed with them, hoping that they'd get a reality check and become a better host, but after having their email services go down on a business account for a week, I was fed up with them. I've moved on to greener pastures (HostGator!). The control panel software was also very buggy and required more work to get users and email accounts setup than was necessary.

Dreamhost seems good at first but I ended up leaving before their 97 day trial full refund period was up. My site would go down regularly due to the server been locked up or overloaded. Emailing customer support was usually quick, but they would just reboot the server without fixing the problem.
When it was working, my site didn't load very fast either.
I've since switched to Hostgator and am much happier both in terms of uptime and WordPress load speed. It's about the same price too.
