Pros: Good hosting plans; economical prices; great online control panel!
Cons: No telephone support.
Summary: After my experiences with 5 Bucks a Month as the web host for my personal sites (documented in my review of that provider), I was looking for a new provider with more reliable service, even if I had to pay a little more for it. It happens that, a ... read more

Pros: Tons of bandwidth
Cons: Support ranges from 'curt' to 'openly hostile'
Summary: My experience with Dreamhost was positive at first. Although their admin control panel was impossible to navigate, they offered way more bandwidth than anyone else for a good price. But then the outages started. It seems like they really, really ... read more

Pros: Falling prices.
Rising service caps.
Growing feature list.
Cons: Bitten off more customers than they can handle and it's showing.
Summary: This is an update to the the earlier review, which appears below in its entirety: July 2006 - Support and service continues to decline. On any given day, it seems, something will be down, unavailable, or just plain irritating with my service. ... read more

Pros: used to be a very good hosting provider in `04
Cons: Gilligans Island mentality (no phone, no lights, no motorcar :P)
Summary: I am not sure if it is growing pains or what, but, DreamHost ("DuH")has gone from a relatively good hosting provider to a virtual Nightmare as of late. I have been with them for a little over a year now and the past four months have been sheer ... read more

Pros: NONE WHATSOEVER
Cons: THEIR F*** OFF ATTITUDE TO COMPLAINING CLIENTS AND THE ABOVE REASONS WHY THEY'RE CRAP
Summary: Dreamhost host a site (www.gomechewatch.com) which is blatently destroying the lives of my family and myself. My MP has written to the British Home Secretary about this site and we have succeeded in getting it shut down by more responsible hosting ... read more

Pros: Fast connection, serious uptime and all around great hosting company
Cons: No ASP and telephone support only available on higher level plans.

Pros: None.
Cons: They offer no phone support, limited email support, and ignore you when they screw up.
Summary: First Dreamhost accidentally shut down my client’s site after he took out a 5K ad in the New Yorker. Then they ignored a request to switch from yearly hosting to monthly hosting and billed my client for the full year against their wishes, and refuse ... read more

Pros: Relatively inexpensive
Cons: Not good for e-commerce, uncaring attitude, inconsistent customer service
Summary: DreamHost "offers" Miva shopping cart hosting, but they only have one person trained in Miva support, so if your store has a problem when that person is gone - good luck!
My store has been down for almost 3 weeks, and I am in the process of ... read more

Pros: Cheap price, you can upgrade your service easily
Cons: no phone support- heck, no support at all! terrible uploading
Summary: Although the price is low, you can count on terrible service, and no means to talk to a live person. Even I know of several means to have live technical support via the web or a more thorough FAQ area.
It often took days to fix errors, that were ... read more
