I manage two sites that are at dreamhost. The downtime used to be insanely high, talking hours per month. About a year ago, his account was moved to a new server, 8 core Xeon box. The site response time has gone down quite a bit, and the server load in general is a lot more appealing than in the past.
That sounds like what I found on various forums - lots of outage complaints from 2006-2008, nothing more recent.
A big concern is mail, with decent spam filtering (no over-blocking) and not being blocked outbound. Web site's pretty trivial. Budget is $40/mo or less, needs to have responsive support.
The web page is flat html and we only need 3 mailboxes.
