Dreamhost

Pros: Fast, reliable hosting at an excellent price. Excellent multi-domain support.
Cons: No phone support.

What are *you* looking for in web hosting?

Some hosting companies offer "unlimited bandwidth" which doesn't mean what one might think.

Think of it as an "all you can eat buffet". If the guy who stands in line in front of you takes...

Pros: Reasonable Price, Many Features Available
Cons: Some features may seen complicated for beginners.

When looking for a company to host a customer's site, I went to Epinions.com and did some research. Dreamhost has excellent plans, with a wide variety of features available. For only $9.95 (paid in advance) they supplied: 30 MB storage, 3 pop email...

Pros: Good prices, easy to use interface
Cons: No phone support, slow to implement features

When I went in search of a web hosting service, I first looked at old, reliable Epinions to help guide me.

Dreamhost was one of the top three recommended by users—the others being Cedant (#1) and Future Quest Hosting (#2). It took me a while...

Pros: Good hosting plans; economical prices; great online control panel!
Cons: No telephone support.

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...

Pros: Excellent customer service, broad range of features.
Cons: None

After having a horrible experience with several other web hosting services, I decided to go from small, local services, to a larger company. After shopping for awhile, I chanced upon Dreamhost, over 8 months later, I'm still in awe of their service and...

Pros: Fun, friendly, helpful employees
Cons: No phone support

Two summers ago, I started playing on the web. My first web site was hosted for free on Netscape and created with almost no HTML know-how. A couple months later, I switched the page over to my college's server. But when I graduated, I had to find a new...

Pros: Excellent web hosts all the way around
Cons: none

When looking for a web hosting company, there are many options. The main thins I was looking for were:

1) Low price
2) 10 megs or more of space
3) Unlimited transfer bandwidth

Dreamhost suited me in all of these aspects....

Pros: None.
Cons: Unreliable. Horrible customer service.

Too many service outages and problems and excuses. Impossible to phone custoemr support.

Then the final straw was they just deleted _everything_ from my account.

I had it on automatic credit card renewal. They send out so much spam email on status, domain renewal, and other useless stuff that I just filtered this to an email folder and never read it.

So when I realized it needed payment I manually renew the credit card payment and log in to find everything gone. Going back reading the email there was no warning of deletion etc.

Pros: Cheap Price, A lot of futures,
Cons: poor customer support, no_phone_to_call, they promise, no money back, hi load problems.

I use DH to host my 2 domains. One was mine and second was my wife. After 5 month we stat experiencing a lot of problems with DH hosting. Almost once a day I found my domains temporary down. I submitted over 20 complain tickets to DH. DH answer to these emails was "there will always be the possibility of a high load issues but I was left with promises that they will do the best. Well for about 3 months i was giving them a chance to prove, but it didn't work out. So I decide to cancel my service for two accounts. Before I cancel my accounts I ask DH to prove that they going to return my Remaining Balance. They prove this in the email that I will receive this Money back once I will cancel my account. 2 months passed and I didn't got anything. I wrote to DH asking where is my remaining balance and the answer I got from customer support person was "I have been told not to refund the funds and I cannot circumvent the decision that been made.

So this is can be your future dream hosting provider :-)

Pros: Disk space, bandwidth allotment (good luck fully using it though), one-click installs.
Cons: Reliability is in the toilet since mid 2006.

I joined Dreamhost in summer 2004 and was reasonably satisfied until the great meltdown of summer 2006. A power outage at their data center kicked off http://blog.dreamhost.com/2006/08/01/anatomy-of-an-ongoing-disaster/ and instability. When you're celebrating your 100,000th domain, not having redundancy for core services is not acceptable, I don't care what people are paying.

Since mid 2006 it's been some kind of small outage every week, and some kind of large outage every couple months.

Most recently, all of their DNS servers died. At once. This is ridiculous.

You get what you pay for. In this case, you're paying for a huge amount of disk and some shiny one-click software installs on a host that can't keep services running reliably from day to day, and which suffers some kind of meltdown every few weeks.

What good are the features if you can't load your site?

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Database problems causing the site to go down

If you want a database website with a forum or a blog that has any real users than it is a problem. They have low CPU/memory resources.

Pros: A humorous monthly newsletter
Cons: Poor overall service, frequent downtime, buggy software, non-reliable e-mail, inconsistent customer service

I've hosted numerous Web sites with Dreamhost.com over the past four years. At first, they delivered great service for a great price. Their quality, however, has gradually but consistently deteriorated from great to sub-standard. Frequent downtime, broken software components, software glitches, e-mail problems, poor and unresponsive customer service characterize what used to be a great hosting company.

Pros: Cheap, Lots of features
Cons: Downtime, No tech support phone number, Unresponsive tech support

Dreamhost may be ok for personal use, but it is far too unreliable for business use. Their servers, their routers constantly go down in the middle of the business day. So we had to get a third party web host monitoring service and send Dreamhost an email when it went down! Their response was usually like "oh we didn't even notice it was down"! We had a better idea of our site uptime than they did.

Support is bad. There's no number to call and although they have an option where you can for support to call you back (up to 5 a month), they rarely actually call back and when they do, the people on the phone have no power to do anything to correct problems in the long term. It's cheap and you get what you pay for. They received an "F" from the California Better Business Bureau.

Pros: Best value, lots of storage and bandwidth.
Cons: No Cpanel option but I got used to their control panel.

I have been hosting with dreamhost for about a year after a terrible time with my previous host. I could not have asked for a better value, as I have gotten a year of hosting and a free domain name registration for under $30 (Use Promo Code 30AYEAR). I have 20 gb of disk space and 1TB of bandwidth which is much more than I'll ever use. If you don't want to sign up for an annual plan they also have monthly options. (You can waive the setup fee with the promo code NOSET) Overall best bang for the buck that I have found.

Pros: Low cost, high bandwidth, 20gb space, unlimited domains hosted
Cons: Non dedicated hosting, slightly higher downtime

I couldn't really believe it when I read this for the price they are giving for web hosting. And they also support affiliate coupons, so I got an awesome deal for the first year of hosting. I have yet to find better hosting for a better price, no joke. The pros:

ד TB bandwidth

㩈 MB webspace

•Unlimited domains hosted! Unlimited subdomains!
(this is awesome, you can have every website/domain
you own hosted with one account)

ד Free domain name

� Mailboxes, 75 Shell/FTP Users

•Top rate customer service

㪕 day money back guarantee

The cons:
•Just a tiny bit more downtime so far than most hosts, but that really hasn't been a big problem at all.
•Not dedicated hosting, but for this price, I wouldn't expect it.


I've been using this hosting for about 6 months now, and have and completely happy!

Someone gave me a an awesome promo code to sign up, so now I'd like to give a good deal to someone else.

Just use this promo DHinsanedeal68 and only pay $4.17/mo!!
