Advantages: Easy to control and manage, lots of options for what you can do Disadvantages: Might be too many options to take in!
...you can do. I chose Dreamhost on the recommendation of a friend as they don't impose many limits.
Dreamhost are also good if you have a more commercial need for a website. They allow you to host an unlimited number of domains with them, it doesn't matter which company you regsitered the domain with, you are allowed unlimited subdomains and email addresses. You control all of these settings too, no limits on what you can do each day or extra payments ... ...of a little error that Dreamhost made earlier this year when they managed to bill many of their customers for an extra year of hosting in advance.

The customer support is amazing, I've contacted them a few times regarding problems with my website and they have always got back to me without about 10 minutes even though I marks the problems as 'low prioirty'.
