I love the quick response from the support team. I have a free non-profit account with them but also purchase my own VPS from them that is managed. Pricing is extremely fair and reasonable. Their support team is top-notch with helping you resolve issues and even doing the work for you at times. I love how they constantly notify us of updates to the system and servers while giving leeway to update our site and prepare. I have been with them for over 10 years now. HIGHLY Recommended
Nothing. I cannot find anything I dislike about this service.
We needed web hosting/service for our non-profit and partner sites. Not only do we get the best of the best, but we love the ease of use from their proprietary control panel, high-quality servers, and top-notch support.
Dreamhost has a variety of plans, excellent support, and great pricing. They make it easy to manage multiple domains and clients.
I can't think of anything I dislike! Dreamhost rocks.
I needed to be able to host multiple domains on one account, and give different clients access to their individual domains.
I really appreciate how easy it is to source help and technical support for no additional charge
At this time I have no complaints and ive been a customer for 5 years
Unlimited webhosting for several websites and I’m only paying one flat rate
Easy to use and implement. I’m not a web designer but was able to set up and manage my own ecommerce website through dreamhost and wordpress. Technical support is great. Affordable options
There arent really any cons. The website could make it easier to find things but overall I’ve been very happy.
Webhosting Additional benefits have been email managing, quick renewal of domains, very supportive customer service and technical support staff
We love using Dreamhost for all of our website and app hosting needs due to the performance of their servers, their customer support and the quality of their admin management system. We have used and loved DreamHost for many years now and have no plans of moving to any other platform.
There really isn't much to dislike about Dreamhost at all. Would maybe love to see free phone support maybe for long-term users or something? Also maybe a stronger community sense so that we can provide support for others.
We are able to add our clients to our Dreamhost account without any issues and very minimal downtime for the client and the end-user. We realized the amount of downtime we had with our previous web-host was unacceptable which is why we decided to move to Dreamhost.
Dreamhost has an easy UI/UX and amazing customer support. They're completely transparent and amazingly helpful. Their support team should be regarded as one of the greats like Zappos is commonly held.
Both minor, but I wish they hadn't retired two features - the referral program as a recurring percentage of spend and the ability to vote for future features.
Nothing too fancy - affordable, reliable, and honest hosting.
I liked that I was able to follow the simple directions provided in order to get hosting set up right away. The pay structure was also affordable for someone like me who had been introduced to DreamHost through a coding tutorial I worked through with a leader in the industry who trusted DreamHost as a client.
I didn't like the formats they used when trying to build your own website through their platform. There are better ways to do it.
I was learning the fundamentals of web development for the first time and figuring out how web hosting worked by trial and error with the help of an online course. A common approach for many people starting in the industry. I realized that certain benefits included affordable pricing, easy to follow directions and simple email hosting.
What I like the most about being a dreamhost client is that they update really often. So privacy or encryptions are always up to date. With other hosting sites they are sometimes behind on new implementation. Their prices for new customers are really good, and I definitely have my clients taking advantage of that. Along with the good pricing for new customers that I like they always add on things for free, while other hosting companies will charge you extras.
They've been having a lot of webmail issues the last month. Normally I have been super satisfied with how their mail works. Adding it to a pop account is tedious and not as easy but you can have it integrate with google mail very easily, but once you change it to sync with google mail its tedious changing it back. But if you don't use google mail and just use their webmail they've been trying to fix it, but it seems like a while since it's been working properly. So hopefully they get it sorted out so it works perfect like before.
It's always good referring my clients to them, when my clients get a deal and happy with their website hosting then it always makes me look good. You can create an unlimited amount of websites on their hosting site and it's nice if you have a lot of niche websites.
I shopped around for different hosting sites and I found a promo and was able to get unlimited hosting for all my websites for less than 5 dollars a month. I've had cheaper hosting but let me tell you I always had issues with them. GoDaddy for starters didn't couldn't fix my wordpress problem because they didn't have the means to handle the updated wordpress. That was a bummer. Tried other misc ones too and so far been super happy with them here.
Wish you could talk to someone on the phone. I bet it would make things a lot easier when I have a problem. Im pretty impatient and rather just talk, but they have chat support which is probably better for them than having people explain themselves in crazy ways and being overwhelmed with their problems. Still like talking to a person than chatting with them online.
All my websites are easy to manage since they are all hosted on one spot. I can go onto my dashboard make any changes quickly and have my online businesses satisfied. All my clients are happy and both they and I save a ton of money.
They offer a well priced deal for triennial hosting packages.
Their dashboard could be more organized.
Provides my organization the ability to oversee our own hosting without much technological background.
