DreamHost Accidentally Bills for $7.5m

Billing software should as a rule be the most rigorously tested code we have, short of the code that runs aircraft and medical equipment. And DreamHost, in their usual juvenile style, try to shift the blame for a billing mistake that charged most of their customers an entire year’s worth of hosting fees. Their response is just surreal for a multimillion dollar mistake. Sure, their system has been adjusted back now, but that doesn’t do much for the bank accounts of a lot of people right now have been slammed with fees. Shared hosting is a jungle anyway, that’s a given, but how much longer can these guys keep overselling before they crack?
