    Hi,

    I do not want to bug this forum with a non-WP issue but is anyone else using Dreamhost as their webhost and had trouble with setting up a database?

    I just signed up and it seems they have a major issue with it. I cannot get any support answers from Dreamhost either.

    And to think - I thought I read all the fine print!

    I use dreamhost and have set up numerous client sites with them. I never had a problem setting up a db, and their support has always been excellent. The knowledge base is also very good.

    I had some problems and I contacted them. A bit slow on the reply, but they apologized profusely and said they are doing everything they can. They said they were upgrading to a new server, adding more space, etc. Hope that clears up any worries.

    DreamHost is awsome. Been using them for quite a while and while it takes a day sometimes to hear from their support, they are usually quite good.

    Been with DH for more than a year, 20 sites at this point, many with WordPress installs. Had three problems in all that time, two that happened on the weekends and it was hard to get answers for a couple frantic days. But they seem to learn from their mistakes and keep making their services better.

    Shadow, what trouble are you having? Did you create the database in Goodies/MySQL? Has it been over an hour and it hasn't been created? Are you getting any errors? As for the support, give them 24-48 hours, they're under-staffed right now.

    Hm, disregard my last post. This is an old thread. In a more recent thread by Shadow, he mentions that his database problem was fixed.
