I’ve been with Dreamhost for the past 4 years, and my hosting happiness has steadily deteriorated. This is mostly due to:
1. DH’s service level being less and less reliable. E.g. a WP home page with little traffic often takes more than 5 seconds to load.
2. One of my sites growing beyond what may be fashionable for a shared hosting service.
I decided to change things.
My question is: will moving to a PS server change things significantly? I need better MySQL and PHP response time. Or, should I start moving elsewhere all the I have piled up on The Panel?

Yes, if you go with a good VPS provider you’ll see a significant improvement. I run Django and my email servers off of a Linode 360 VPS (http://www.linode.com) it’s very fast and very reliable so far.

They’re platform is great developing and testing sites, it’s easy to set up domains, ssh users, test WP installations and other stuff. But I’d never keep something mission-critical there. Or *here*, since this very blog is at Dreamhost :-)
