			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Imagine my surprise this morning when I received an invoice from Dreamhost stating that I owed for a years worth of services and that if I didn&#8217;t pay up soon my services would be disconnected. I was just about to send an email to Dreamhost support when I came across <a href="http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2008/01/15/billing-issues/">this</a>.</p>
<p>While I was somewhat relieved to learn that I didn&#8217;t owe $110, I was more disappointed that Dreamhost didn&#8217;t think to email their customers alerting them to the problem. What was even more disturbing though was <a href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/01/15/um-whoops/" target="_blank">the blog post by the person responsible for the error</a>. Apparently, Josh thinks it&#8217;s alright to take a light hearted approach when explaining how he overcharged Dreamhost customers $7,500,000.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been responsible for a $7,500,000 error myself, but I&#8217;m pretty sure this isn&#8217;t the way you should handle things. I think Dreamhost really needs to reconsider the way that they&#8217;ve approached this blunder.</p>
