  • Sometimes you can get more than you pay for.

    Feb 06 '06
    Pros: insane amount of features, space, transfer for the money
    Cons: occasional outages

    Summary: For many years, hosting a website was a costly prospect. More recently, costs have come down significantly, partially due to more competition, partially due to the decreasing cost of the hardware necessary to support a host. These are definitely good ...

  • Solid and reliable service for little money

    Dec 06 '08
    Pros: Inexpensive with quick responses to my questions; access to server command line.
    Cons: Some problems with their servers being blacklisted by Comcast; annoyingly unfunny newsletters.

    Summary: First, some background: I have been a Dreamhost customer for almost 8 years. My primary use is to host a couple of domains and forward email addresses. I also have a few personal web pages a couple of which are database driven.For my modest ...

  • Not such a dream...

    Jun 09 '07
    Pros: Plenty of space, lots of features
    Cons: Slow, poor control panel

    Summary: I switched from my old host, Hostright UK, to DreamHost. I had been thinking of switching from my current host for sometime, and at the time DreamHost seemed the best host to move to. I signed up on the cheapest package, Crazy Domain Insane!, which ...

  • Growing Pains or Death Spiral?

    Oct 07 '06
    Pros: Tons of disk and bandwidth, shared servers not severely overloaded, lots of goodies.
    Cons: None of the pros matter when your servers are down or acting flaky.

    Summary: I switched from Pair Networks to Dreamhost in summer of 2004 because Pair Networks was just too expensive despite spectacular reliability. Dreamhost offered much more in the way of features, disk and bandwidth. I didn't expect quite the same uptime as ...

  • Great Features but with Poor Technical Execution

    Apr 05 '06
    Pros: A great number of features at a great price.
    Cons: Underlying technical issues with this company prevent it from being a first class web host.

    Summary: I've been with Dreamhost now for 4 years. Although you'd be hard pressed to find a web hosting company that offers the sheer volume of features Dreamhost offers at a bargain rate, it does come with a price. Over the past year or more, perhaps because ...

  • Very nice service

    Feb 19 '07
    Pros: Large storage space, 3000+ email accounts on basic hosting.
    Cons: Control panel can be slow at times.

    Summary: After transferring from a competing service last year, I have nothing but good things to say about DreamHost. I won't go through an exhaustive listing of their features, but rather will just touch upon those I especially favor. The fact that I can have

  • slow customer support, serious uptime issues!!!

    Nov 03 '06
    Pros: price storage bandwidth functionality
    Cons: slow/not good customer support highly unstable highly unreliable

    Summary: Initially, DreamHost can actually be anyone's dream hosting service, super storage space, super bandwidth, and which both still growing weekly - and all at a low price! Unfortunately, the "you get what you pay for" holds true here - only in a span of

  • Great for personal websites and newbies.

    Jun 29 '06
    Pros: Lots of bandwidth & storage. Helpful support. Tons of documentation Loads of features.
    Cons: Not as reliable as some other hosts. Uptime is not what it should be.

    Summary: I like dreamhost. I like the features. They really do offer a lot of features! But, my sites go down fairly often. Sometimes ten minutes.. sometimes a little longer. They are friendly, courteous, and they (eventually) fix any issue. I like them

  • You get what you pay for

    May 24 '06
    Pros: cheap
    Cons: unreliable, slow tech support , no telephone number to call, constant email server problems.

    Summary: I have been with Dreamhost since 1999 and in the last few years I have had problem after problem. Sql servers were slow and not working, email servers are down almost every month. Right now I cannot access my email since their mail servers are down
