Rick T. Jones: 5 years and counting, nice hosting. I host 30 some odd websites and have had minimal issues with dreamhost. When I have had an issue, want a server reset, etc... submitting a help ticket has always been resolved shortly and with out a problem. 99.9% up-time My only complaint is that, as with most shared internet hosting, things can be gradual at times. This has solely been a problem a couple of occasions over the previous 5 years for me.
Billy Erin: One of the best I've tried so far. I use them for my personal web site and another web sites as well. I've by no means had any main points with them. If something does pop up, who wants phone when you may contact them just simply using forms.
Helen Heidi: Dreamhost has an important Dashboard to regulate all the pieces in your account, from domains to billing to MySQL. They've one-click on installs of several apps like Wordpress and Joomla, but they do not use Fantastico, so they're lacking some like Drupal. Nevertheless, I love the dashboard so much that I am prepared to strive putting in issues myself if needed. The dashboard is best by far than 1and1 or Site5. They've grow to be extra transparent within the final yr or so. They've a status Twitter feed, a blog of upkeep and any emergency messages, and the flexibility to see your server's standing on your dashboard. I've by no means had an issue with up-time, but my websites are low-traffic. I contacted support this summer season concerning a couple of Wordpress web pages which out of the blue threw errors. It turned out to be a nasty DB host identify (I deleted it), and help even mounted it for me, even though they could have easily tossed it back to me and stated "You may fix this in your dashboard" and been right to do so. You'll be able to submit support tickets simply right from the dashboard, and select the level of severity of your issue. Once I first started with Dreamhost, there was some lag on my Wordpress sites when submitting posts or loading pages. This has gotten higher as time goes on. Like I mentioned, my websites are low-traffic and never e-commerce, so I'm not too concerned. I ran into some points a few years in the past utilizing PHP. They do not let you simply reference 'localhost' in some cases "for safety," so I had to determine tips on how to use cURL. The support wiki was fairly irritating to nagivate and find info. I never contacted support for help because they say proper up entrance that they don't troubleshoot the stuff you put in or code in your sites. Is sensible to me, so I trolled PHP boards to search out my answers. It could take an amazing bundle -- and good dashboard -- to make me leave Dreamhost. My plan has limitless domains, subdomains, email, and MySQL databases.
Alex Horton: I've been utilizing Dreamhost for over four years on shared servers. I'd advocate Dreamhosts' shared servers to anyone needing an internet site for private use or small business. Every thing may be very simple to use they usually offer you many resources for the small worth they charge. Their customer service has improved drastically since I began the account. It began out with a ticketing system, moved to email and pay for calls to 24/7 immediate messaging support. I've had outages, however nothing too long. I was down for over an hour once, however they kept me knowledgeable about what was going on. The worth is true for personal and small business needs and the customer support representatives are helpful.
Kurt Bayne: Properly, I see the common plethora of unfavorable comments about Dreamhost and a couple optimistic ones. Has anybody actually seen how a considerable amount of them rely on "magical" disappearances of their sites? Perhaps they didn't read the ToS as a result of I guess most of them went tl;dr on it. Yes, you cannot host certain sorts of content material, sure you possibly can't host some sorts of internet apps because of the stress they cause to the server. It's shared hosting. But total DH supplies a LOT for what you pay. I acquired on it again in 2005. Granted, I don't have heavy visitors websites, I've barely had issues with the uptime, as well with customer support. It simply works. When you've got issues they're corrected quickly. If you're lost in establishing something of their servers there is a wiki. Nice CPanel. And many others, etc. The only factor I have not favored from them was how now they only have one bundle, which added 3 bucks of monthly cost for me. However hell, it's nonetheless good.
Payne T. Mirk: Dreamhost is admittedly the very best hosting firm! I have been hosted with dh for 1 year. My expertise is nice! I really love their easy to make use of management panel. Everything is great! The assist-guys are very cool and quick! I've been hosted with many other companies (resembling hostgator, ixwebhosting, justhost, vexxhost, subdesign and so on) but from all these, dreamhost is the best!
Hanes Jim: I've gone with Dreamhost shared hosting for a number of years. I felt I needed to share my experience, since I've seen a variety of, fairly destructive, reviews. To start with, my web sites don't sell something online and do not get enormous numbers of holiday makers, but if I relied on my web site for my earnings, I'd take into consideration investing in an area server for piece of mind. For my purposes, exhibiting (my own) video and music clips, Dreamhost shared hosting has been properly priced and fairly reliable. When things have gone fallacious ( which they do, each on occasion ) its usually sorted out in an inexpensive quantity of time. I found the Person Panel and one step set up plugins (Wordpress) and streaming QT very useful for my purposes. I've at all times discovered the Buyer Service top notch via e-mail and the assistance wiki could be very intuitive. I have not used the callback choice but I tend to search out e-mail assist do the trick inside 10-30 minutes on average. I just lately upgraded to the personal server to make sure stability which was fairly a seamless transfer after a problem for a few hours. All as anticipated and things are working quicker more constantly for a bit more $ per month. The shared hosting is an excellent choice anyway and excellent in case your starting out. Be sure you benefit from the low cost offers and you may get yourself, low-cost dependable hosting... With internet hosting typically, I believe you generally get the reliability/velocity/management you pay for, but with Dreamhost Sharing, you will get an inexpensive, speedy, service with friendly help (from my experience) Unhappy thing is, most people do not assume to remark/rate until they're having a nasty experience (and these do happen) until its a brand new, fashionable upstart within the scene... so just thought I would share my, extra constructive suggestions of DH.
Kris B. Allen: I've been with Dreamhost for probably happening 5 or 6 years. They have been an awesome webhost your entire time and continuously increasing and upgrading their serices. I've solely ever had to contact buyer support twice for techincal issues. Each instances the response was immediate and glued my problem right away. Yes, they did have that loopy billing error, but they caught it quite early and fixed it instantly with refund a refund to everyone quickly. Very a lot suggest as a web host!

After evaluate related hosting that provide options that I want, Dreamhost fulfill all I would like, so I'm proceed to create an account there. The truth is, Dreamhost present more than what I expect. With comparatively low price, I can get what other hosting firm present for greater price.

Pedri Orles: Dreamhost are great as a result of the suport could be very great, i get responses lower than 10, 12 hours. Have a wiki avaible, a really lively discussion board and a particular domain dedicated to state for a hosting. The values are low-cost, but for me just a free hosting, i dont add promoting, the management panel interface could be very intuitive and the velocity is good. On the technical side helps several php modules, though not allowed to fopen, I curl scheduling solutions without any problem. I had different hostings earlier than, but were expensive and space was very little, so I am now contracting with a number of however they are very good, among them this dreamhost Generally once I'm touring and must make some changes on some file or change a number of traces from a script, I have no downside login from a cell gadget through ssh and make the suitable changes. up to now have had no issues with dreamhost, aside from which he had commented on the php module.

Rayes Perrera: I bought dreamhost hosting about 7 months ago now. And its purchased for my most important area www.henegamacc.org which is non profit college project. And that point dreamhost had promotion for 1 12 months internet hosting for $9 with free domain name with whois protection. So take into consideration that, that is an ideal deal! And I thought Unwell face issues quickly as a result of the hosting bundle is cheap and its selling exhausting! However never had issues until now. Now I host greater than 5 of my autoblogs and other 2 sites. Non of them didnt had any of issues or information loss so far! Dreamhost gave me stunning speeds and value for buck! Their customized management panel could be very easy to handle than Cpanel. The only drawback on their customized management panel is it doesnt have net stats system like awstats or webalizer. That needs to be mounted by dreamhost that is the only problem I seen on their cpanel! Their support group is great and so they all the time solutions my support tickets less than a hour. (I cant imagine that too :D ) And they at all times retains you updated on their status blog that is the the easiest way to know their data! Though I'm very a lot glad with dreamhost! and I am hosting with them next years! K. Timothy: I was with a local reseller webhosting firm ManasHosting right here in UK, and I had a nightmare for around 3 years with them. They offered me low cost windows website hosting however the service was poorest of poor. Then I migrated to Dreamhosting and I am proud to be associated with them. Their service is superb. They deal with you want a valued customer and check out to help you in each potential way. Additionally they possess some excellent technical experts who go out of the way to solve your issues. Their management panel speaks for itself. It is full of the whole lot that's typically required by an internet site owner. Their data base is again full of everything. I like their portal the place they maintain posting status of the server. If one thing occurs to the server, you possibly can observe it there( http://www.dreamhoststatus.com). Till now I'm internet hosting my four web sites with them and have already really useful DreamHost to three of my friends. I received >99% uptime for 2 consecutive months which I never acquired from my earlier host. I'm really loving it and I would definitely advocate it to as many people as I can.
Earl Young: I have been using DreamHost as my low-cost secondary server for over a year now. For the worth and options, DreamHost has the best worth of among cut price shared hosting providers. My server with DreamHost is not as quick as my VPS... nevertheless it only prices a fraction of the value of my "good server". I take advantage of DreamHost as my secondary server, it's the place I grow my sites earlier than they have decent traffic -- particularly blogs because DreamHost makes it so easy to set-up Wordpress blogs and easy upgrades. For me, support has been unbelievable -- however I haven't had many problems besides the occasional downtime. I do know different DreamHost prospects have had points with main downtime, however I've only had 5-10 minutes of downtime a handful of times over the last year. I'd recommend DreamHost to anyone who does not want one hundred% uptime. Truthfully, most mom and pop websites would be good here...nobody will notice if Bob's native handyman website is down at 1am for 10mins. Also: DreamHost's control panel is healthier than cpanel.
