Pardon the 'rant', but IMHO ...
Life is too short to contend with hosting providers that admit they don't support what you want to run. Why the heck would I want to pay them if they can't provide what's needed in a VPS? Doesn't fit their system?!!!! For most things, Dreamhost might be just fine ... just not for Moodle 2. And what of Moodle 2.7? or future versions of Moodle? More power to ya, but think I'd think about cutting and looking for a hosting solution that is somewhat future proof and where one doesn't have to convince provider that they can - and you pay for that privilege?
My 2 cents!
