According to <a href="http://www.dreamhostps.com/" rel="nofollow">DreamHost Private Servers</a> "You can still burst up to the full 2.3 GHz cpu and double the memory!". I love to see some screenshots from the control panel. Could I get you to send some to me at mail[at]blog[dot]dreamhosters[dot]com?

It works about the way they promise: no root, but your own protected process space. Pretty much the same as shared server, only not as much shared. The downside is quite obvious, when you think of it: 150Mhz/150MB is not going to get you anywhere. If you run out of memory+swap, the PHP scripts instantly give the Internal Server Error. While it's really easy to up the memory, it's quite hard to see exactly what's going on. You have full access to your own little machine, but you can't even momentarily burst to the full capacity of the server when you need it. However, I have to admire how Dreamhost executed this. The "Adjust CPU/Memory" bar is brilliant. They make it look so easy and hide the technical details below. Also, there has to be a lot of legroom on these servers, since the users are constantly fiddling with their sliders. I’ve already received a Dreamhost PS.
