I had been running my WordPress blog for a few months now. I wanted to write about things I was passionate about, and decided that blogging would be the way to do it. Since I didn’t really have much of an online presence before this, I chose to use a free theme from WordPress and host my website on DreamHost – they seemed like the most reliable provider at the time.
Everything went smoothly for the first couple weeks; however, one day as I was checking out some statistics on my site’s performance, something strange caught my eye: there were periods of time when no visitors were coming through! At first I thought it could just be due to low traffic or maybe even user error but after checking into it further- nothing seemed out of place!
That’s when it hit me- what if DreamHost had something wrong with their system? After all, they are hosting thousands upon thousands of websites so surely something must’ve gone wrong somewhere along the line. So then began my journey down a rabbit hole of research in order to figure out if DreamHost indeed did have such problems. Sure enough after digging around long enough, multiple reports https://www.host-tracker.com/en/ic/check-http emerged regarding slow loading times and occasional downtimes experienced by other users who used DreamHost as well!
So there you have it- while DreamHost may seem like an ideal choice for hosting your website at first glance, don’t forget that problems can still occur regardless. With any luck though these kinds of issues will become less frequent as technology improves over time but until then always make sure you investigate thoroughly beforehand!
