DreamHost Reviews & Product Details

They are really passionate about hosting websites. Every week, i would wait for their weekly newsletter just to know what the next new feature is. I have hosting account on 4 companies and dream host was the first to add Let's encrypt free ssl implemented inside the account panel. They also provided free Privacy add on on each domain. above all that, they have great and fast support.

Although they brag a lot about their in house custom made control panel. Which is really easy and well organized. But I am a C-panel fan, and i would like to have the option to use c-panel on my account.

They provide premium hosting solution and they realy like doing their job. They are one the best candidates for startups. Especially because they have numerous promo codes that would give you up to 85% discount on the first year, just google it.

I like that I was able to try the web hosting at a promo price to get a feel for everything. I am not a web designer or a programmer and/or developer, so a lot of what I needed was new to me as a Designer for my site. The price is good and they are updating the look and feel of the site, interface, etc (compared to when I first started). When I did have a problem I was able to reach someone in a reasonable time.

Ok, so for some reason when I was using Mail on my Mac for email and now Polymail, seems like there is always a problem or glitch with the mail server. Even when following the help tips I had to contact tech support to find the problem. After contacting both Dreamhost and Polymail I was able to come up with a fix, but it seems like there are issues every now and then.

I am able to host my site to where I can display my design work and services for clients who are in need of what I have to offer. Now I see that they have updated their Webmail, have to check that out.

They are easy to use, good support and uptime has been consistently good.

I have had some issues with slow loading on one particular site. It seems to be related to the actual server it is living on, but we haven't been able to resolve it yet.

I host all of my own sites and most of my clients' sites on Dreamhost.

Dreamhost is an outstanding hosting service that offers a variety of products that fulfill amost every need. From shared hosting to cloud servers it delivers easy to setup enviroments and config tools that will truly make dream come true. We specially like the vps and their pricing, we can't complain about the uptime and quality of service.

Nothing to dislike with dreamhost, very satisfied with the service

Shared hosting, cloud computing, virtual private servers. Easy to setup ssh credentials and mail management.

DreamHost is a great inexpensive solution for shared hosting. They offer VPS services for more advanced needs. Their control panel is simple to use. They have the ability to run Passenger for support of Ruby, Python, and NodeJS sites. Their one-click installs work great for clients with simple needs. Email hosting is solid and does a good job of eliminating spam. Support for LetsEncrypt SSL certificates is a great way to deploy SSL across the board for no additional cost.

I've never had a real complaint with DreamHost while using them.

I use DreamHost has a hosting provider for some of my clients. For many of my clients the cost and features are in the sweetspot for their needs.

They are owned by their employees, US-based, and they are amazingly fast on fixing the few issues I've had with them.

Their 1-Click Install list has not changed in the last few years. In general, they seem to be a little behind in adopting new technologies, but not far enough to affect my workflow. About the time I'm looking into upgrading, they're upgrading their systems.

They are a hosting company, so they solve our need for hosting. We're a design company, and the plan we have with them allows us to host all our client's sites for a small fee.

Excellent rebuilt control panel, very easy to use VPS management and setup. The support ticket system is excellent, and they have done a great job making the control panel easy to use-- it's a long ways from a "CPanel", it's a true custom interface.

At one point they had frequent issues with capacity and downtime, particularly of email systems. They also had issues with DDOS attacks. These issues seem to be pretty much in the past however.

Not provided

Dreamhost is affordable, the service is generally reliable. Speed is relatively decent, and the control panel is easy to administer. Some may prefer a cPanel style panel rather than a bespoke system, but theirs has always worked fine for me.

Support CAN be good, but can also be frustrating at times. Dreamhost has the problems many big companies have, where you can end up with responses that are clearly copied and pasted. While reliability has mainly been good over the 10+ years I've used Dreamhost, I did experience a run of downtime that made me move my largest site over to a different host. I still use Dreamhost for several other sites.

Affordable and reliable hosting for my own and my client's sites. Dreamhost provides a better service than some of the bargain basement hosts, without too much of a premium price.

Excellent control panel. Excellent technical support. Fast web server.

Just lacked the option of an Australian data centre for better SEO results.

Easy to deploy multiple websites within 1 control panel.

What drew me to Dreamhost was their really economical hosting packages. I believe I paid one penny for a few months of hosting, and then had the choice of paying by the year or month. I really liked the ability to manage many websites at once, without multiple logins.

I wish they used cPanel for their hosting management. I'm not crazy about their custom admin area. It's not the worst out there, but it's a lot more work to move client's Dreamhost sites to cPanel or vice versa. They also had too much downtime during my time with them, though I hear that has improved.

They provided good hosting for not just my websites, but several clients as well. I had a client who hosted over 20 sites on Dreamhost.
