As the publisher of ArkansasPost.com, I’ve trusted DreamHost to securely host years of my work. However, when a routine bill came due, DreamHost suspended my website and shockingly deleted all of my data, including backups—completely erasing everything I had built.

Losing data is catastrophic for any business, and DreamHost’s decision to wipe everything clean shows a gross breach of trust. Most hosting providers understand the importance of safeguarding data, even during billing issues. DreamHost’s negligence not only cost me dearly but also highlights a dangerous disregard for their customers.

For anyone considering DreamHost, think twice. Your data deserves better protection, and you deserve a hosting provider that understands the responsibility that comes with it.
