Dom,

As it happens, web, database and email is what my stuff is based
around so yes, it works for what I do. While they're not a data-house
per se, they also have WebDAV and SVN repositories, which I also use.

Personally, I'm not interested in running a BitTorrent server through
Dreamhost, nor IRC bots etc.

Out of interest, what is it that you'd be running that falls foul of
the T&Cs?

Me.
