Hi, I am with dreamhost as well. I have read this policy and I also read somewhere else that the limits are so high that you would need to be hitting the database extremely hard before they block your access. But also with the latest increases in resource's to 1TB though put on the basic plan. I think that if you were getting cut off then I think you would need to think seriously about dedicated hosting, and how to fund it. I think that you will be OK. Gordon.

Hi, I'm also a dreamhoster who is just getting into Drupal. I'm in the process of developing a drupal website (http://test.cubiclearmy.com) and am wondering if you know the load a Dreamhost Drupal website can take before it hits the 30-40 cpu minutes. It is a little hard for me to guess since the site isn't live, but it has the potential to have hundreds of visitors a day. I can't afford dedicated hosting unless those hundreds of visitors a day will make enought AdSense traffic to justify the dedicated box (which I doubt). Thanks for any insights.

It's a tough debate - I use dreamhost which follows a limiting policy:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/kbase/?area=2583
"We still track them[number of queries and connections], but unless you're in the top .01% of our database users, you'll never need to worry about conuery usage again!"
The good side is that it keeps the server under a reasonable load and my server doesn't get bogged down by some custom application that has horrible performance. The downside is that long before you fill up the transfer/month or disk space or...you will use up your 30-40 minutes of CPU time/day.
