Which hosting would you recommend for running a startup? We use dreamhost now, but we heard that we need special hosting for web 2.0 projects. Which one would advice us? Any ideas... please

There is nothing "special" about Web 2.0, other than you likely need something with a decent database option.

I'd look at something like Slicehost, or more of a hosted server vs. shared server solution. Skip EC2 for now, and other things that are a little too progressive. You need (IMO) a solid stable base first, then look into elasticity when you get some mass.

If you want/need a dedicated server, send me an email I can get you setup with something nice.

KnownHost.com has been good to us, no complaints.

If what you have works for you now, stick with it until you try to do something that doesn't work.

Start on basic hosting and upgrade as needed. Ultimahosts.net, ASmallorange.com, Webfaction.com are good. Move up to Slicehost.. Rackspace... and if you're too big for Rackspace... you might already have the resources to start your own hosting company.
