"Excellent Web Hosting & Support - HIGH RECOMMENDED"
What do you like best about DreamHost?

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

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

Nothing. I cannot find anything I dislike about this service.

What problems is DreamHost solving and how is that benefiting you?

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 is the "end all" of Hosting Companies"
What do you like best about DreamHost?

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.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

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.

What problems is DreamHost solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Happy customer since January 2006"
What do you like best about 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.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

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.

What problems is DreamHost solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing too fancy - affordable, reliable, and honest hosting.

"It was a smooth process and a great website to maneuver when initially getting started."
What do you like best about DreamHost?

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.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

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.

What problems is DreamHost solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Great for Website Hosting"
What do you like best about DreamHost?

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.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

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.

What problems is DreamHost solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Dreamhost Unlimited Hosting Cheapest Around"
What do you like best about DreamHost?

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.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

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.

What problems is DreamHost solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.
