| geekmedic's Full Review: Dreamhost |
I was skeptical when I first signed up for DreamHost because I have seen many of these types of companies come and go. In fact, I have moved one of my websites 5 times switching from one host to another as they go out of business. I didn't think they could offer all that they did for the price that they paid.
But they do! For $19.95/month I get 3 domains, 1/2 gig of disk space (more than I will ever need!), 25 GB of data transfer, a bunch of mailboxes (50 I think? I'm not using them all), streaming QuickTime, control panel, free guestbook with no advertising, server side includes, PHP, etc.
I'm thoroughly pleased with DreamHost. I host 3 domain names with them and rarely have I attempted to load a page and the server was down. Everytime it is down or it's scheduled for maintenance, I receive an email informing me of the status of the server. Before switching to DreamHost, I was getting frequent emails about my websites being down all the time. Not anymore!
Again, the pages load very fast, CGI scripts and mySQL database connectivity is very fast, and the service is cheap.
