Whats up with all my web hosting company fuckups lately

I use dreamhost.com right now (customer for 5= years) for my linux hosting and intermedia.net (customer for 1 year) for my windows hosting and i've never had a problem with these guys.
Suddenly, both of them completely fuck things up hardcore this month.
Dreamhost suddenly sends out a bill for ALL their customers via email by accident that tried to bill everyone (who pays monthly) for 2.5 YEARS so everyone got a bill that was like 30x their usual amount. Hah!
The,,.. intermedia allows me 5 server server databases and a total of 1500 MB for those databases. Somehow they fucked up and swapped those numbers so today it says that I get 5 MB to use for 1500 databases. HAH! WTF. It's a good thing I noticed BEFORE the first of the month. I was in my control panel today and tried to SHRINK the size of one of my databases and it was like, these change will cause you to be billed for $7,100 next month.
LOLERZ
On tech support with them right now to see what happened.
Good thing I was trying to do some database administration before the billing cycle was over or else I would have bounced a check for 7 grand. HAH!

What's even funner is that my cat gets jealous when I'm on the phone and she starts meowing really loud to distract me whenever she see me on it. While I was trying to explain this to intermedia on the phone today, my cat's meowing at my trying to get my attention and being loud so I ran upstairs to my loft to get away. She followed me, hopped up on the railing I have that sort of protects people from falling to the bottom floor and then mid-meow she fell off the edge and plummetted down to the ground in mid-meow.
I had to stop in mid sentance on phone... wasn't sure if I was going to scream or bust out laughing but I had to plug up my voice for a second. hAH! The guy on the phone must have thought I was some kinda retard.

That's actually the third time she fell. so 6 to go.
One time I was watching tv on the couch and i saw this black streak fly down in front of the tv and hit the ground .. WHAM!!!!
It was the cat.. she bounced. I ran towards her tro see if she was ok.. I think she was mor embarrassed than anything cuz she started running away from me.
Compare that to my friend's chihuahua that fell off a simple kitchen counter years ago and broke it's leg. Cats are fuckin crazy

It would be nice. I created a website for a company once and I still manage a website they run off their INHOUSE web sell server on a t1 connection. I'll NEVER do it again. The money you save is hardly worth the hastle of managing your OWN web server. Fuck that shit. I'd rather pay someone a few hundred a month to maintain a server so I have someone else to blame. There's a reason I gave UP my MCSE years ago to be a programmer... so I don't have to take the heat anymore for systems problems 
I prefer dedicated servers. You can RDP in and run the entire thing how you want while other people are paid to monitor it and service it. IT's 400-500 bucks a month, but if this isn;t that much compared to a company's profit then it's worth it. Hell.. it's an expense that it a 6000 write off on your income anytways.... that's 2000 bucks LESS in taxes per year. Dedicated servers are the way to go if your company makes a descent profit.
The 100 bucks a month I pay for this shred windows hosting though is just for development and testing. Sure 100x12 is 1200 a year... that's about the cost of a SQL Server License for three years... so you're still saving money on the server cost itself
