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.
