Well, I know the world would grind to a halt if Past Thinking were to disappear, so perhaps I ought to take a look ;-) Those guys take uptime *seriously*! Crumbs.

I'd be taking a look at these people for secured hosting if I were you. http://www.thebunker.net/ You owe it to your fans.

I just bought one year's hosting and a domain name for about £18, which ain't bad... It's not much to lay out to have a play with, so I'll see how they go before I move other WordPress sites to them.

A UK firm whose uptime and support has been second to none. Phone them up and you're as likely to get Peter Gradwell himself as anyone else. I've only ever had two problems with them in the years I've been hosted by them, and they've both been resolved within about 45 minutes! They don't have all the bells and whistles that your DreamHost has, but for good solid UK based PHP and MySQL based hosting, with spam and virus filtered mail you can't go wrong.
