To be honest haha, I do have more than 5tb bandwidth... Dreamhost 3rd plan gave 4tb and I didnt use most and I get alot weekly so it goes up and up.
The 8gb is for this feb. I think.. and XUS was down for a week so take 7 days away. And still I think it would be more as I will also add a Music Gallery in march, perhaps even more.

That is just a marketing ploy. 1TB is a huge amount of data transfer. You would either need a massively popular site or be offering multi-media downloads to rack up serious data transfer.
It is CPU and RAM that matters; data transfer in and of itself does not use much of either.
In the context of Joomla, every page view requires http and mysql access, and that is where the RAM and CPU is required.
What you need is the visitor numbers which you should be able to get from whatever control panel Dream Host provides. If it doesn't provide that it isn't much of a control panel. - www.ourultimatereality.com

Well you could enable caching to lower your mysql access levels. - Billy Zoellers

Yes; there are various ways of accelerating, optimising etc. It isn't always practical on a shared hosting server if there are a wide variety of sites. - www.ourultimatereality.com

Flipsider do a search through the extension site. There is an extension which caches pages requested for a certain amount of time (configurable) so if a user came along and viewed your home page, it would be cached as a static page so that all other visitors who came in the next, say 10mins simply viewed the static page out of the cache (so for those 5 mins, there are no more mysql queries for the home page) will save you RAM and could mean you don't need a dedicated solution.
A downside is that some dynamic elements would obviously not work (eg. if you had a clock on your home page showing real time)
check it out. it may work quite differently to what i've explained here as i only did a quick read and have never actually used it. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Sweet!
Please post the name of this module/component when you do find it.
I would like to play with that as I have had ideas of creating a module that could do just that. - Magento - phpBB3 - Kunena - RokBridge Specialist

I am on
Dreamhost
and my site too is very slow but unlike you I have only
SMF bridge
and related module (login module) installed.
Do you use SMF and the SMF bridge for Joomla? if so this could be the cause.
Joomla 1.0.12
SMF 1.1.2
Orstio's SMF bridge for Joomla v1.1.7
Database Version: 5.0.24a-standard-log
PHP Version: 5.2.0
Web Server: Apache/1.3.37 - VirtueShop

Yeah, I'm not so much into caching as I still keep updating and changing stuff on the site and when it's cached, nothing will show different. Also I am using modules as random profile, random clan, random picture etc. which will then not work. Thanks though/

I have one site that I manage that's on DreamHost. It is a bit slower loading than the other sites.
