[Catalyst] Dreamhost for Catalyst

[Jim Spath]

I would stay away from Dreamhost personally.  Regardless of what they 
happen to support, I've had numerous performance + uptime issues with them.

You might look into slicehost.  It's a little more expensive, but you 
essentially get your own machine (via Xen VPS), allowing you install and 
run whatever you want on it.
