George,
looking at the recent activities of the US efforts tpo curb online gaming in the US I do not think that a US host is your best bet. Dreamhost is in California & Bluehost is in Utah. I would recommend a host in Canada – should not be any problems there.
check out the thread I posted to you about earlier this week:
