Dreamhost shared account limits
Does anybody know the RAM limit of dreamhost's shared hosting plan?
I got an e-mail regarding my wordpress site hitting its ram limit. They encourage me to buy VPS from them. Although for shared hosting, dreamhost's bang for the buck ratio is reasonable; for VPS it's not.
I just wanted to learn the hitted limit and plan migration accordingly.

You can see the limits on your cpanel sidebar.
dreamhost does not use cpanel.
Have you thought of actually asking them???

I wouldn't migrate to another shared host, you should fix your site instead. I've never met a host as tolerant of usage as Dreamhost. I can't imagine you'll find any reasonably priced shared hosts that guarantee a lot of RAM, truthfully I've never searched for it though (you'd think I would've seen it).
What plugins do you use?
A lot of WordPress performance-related problems can be fixed with a correctly configured caching plugin.
..or by replacing WordPress!
Meh, could be worse. One could have a Web Wiz Forums installation, which uses MS Access as the database backend.
I don't mind WordPress, it actually performs pretty well for such a huge and flexible piece of software. What creates pretty much all problems are poorly coded plugins and themes, especially those sourced from "FREE NULLED HAXXD LEAKED WORDPRESS THEMES" sites.
Yup, poor themes and plugins or way too many plugins.
If you decide to move, I can offer you hosting with no strict limit, but a "Don't be a dick" policy depending on your used space and bandwidth. PM me for details.
The best way to combat WordPress is to disable allow_url_fopen().
Site is a WPMU; with 4 sub-sites. Caching is on; comments are off. Essays (with some explanatory pictures and youtube embedded videos) only. In fact a static site would also be ok. But I don't know any static blog engine can be used for a similar setting.
Do you advice any static site generator?
4 sub-site; 1 main site; interlinks; similar but color differentiated templates; search (for sub-sites and for whole) and classification are musts.
Wordpress ise easy to use; many template alternatives. If I stay in WP; I am planning to migrate to a vps; maybe a cheap dedi. I prefer ~$30 but up to $50 is in the budget.
There's a plugin called "Simply Static", which will essentially turn your WP into a static site generator.
If you don't need cPanel, you might get some good offers on Dedi
