20 year customer here. This morning I asked their support chatbot if this is related to the PHP vulnerabilities and it assured me that's not the case. I'm skeptical.

These status updates from the PHP incident would also have us believe that they were never directly affected: https://www.dreamhoststatus.com/pages/incident/575f0f6068263...

They're being awfully vague about this issue so far. 8 hours ago I submitted a ticket requesting more information and they've not responded yet. I guess that they're still in the thick of it.

hopefully their hashed/salted passwords, right? not plaintext?

No, they’re still doing well.

Support is primarily via chat these days.

Pricing wise they don’t beat Herzner anymore but are somewhat competitive with Digital Ocean.

I am gradually moving everyone to my own self hosting mostly for supportability reasons. We want to react in seconds, not hours, when a customer has an issue.

I havent seen anyone talk about it for the last 10-15 yrs. I would have guessed it fell apart already

Working pretty well for me.

Angelfire shut down this year so not them at least.

I've been a user for more than 20 years. With their shared hosting plan, which was about $5/mo. when I joined and is now $13/mo, I've been able to host my personal blog and professional site, as well as probably 3 dozen other sites over the years, including several that have hit the HN front page and never got hugged by the squeeze of death.

Honestly, compared to some of the professional environments I've worked in, it's a joy to have an idea, create a few PHP files, and in a matter of seconds have that idea live.

Me, for all the reasons listed so far in comments

Been a customer for decades, love them.

A shitload of small business sites that were built years ago and haven't been touched since.

It's cheap and reliable with predictable costs. It hasn't caused me any problems in a decade. Most of the websites I want to host don't need cloud anything, they're statically generated.
