DreamHost.com Thumbnail

Background

Business Name: DreamHost, LLC.

Year of foundation: 1996

Location: Brea, California, USA

BBB Accreditation: No

Market Size: > 70K websites (#22 HRank list)

Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Decreasing

Acquaintance with the industry dinosaur DreamHost.com – a global web hosting and cloud services provider – starts with a simple and intuitive website user experience. Founded back in 1996 in Brea (CA, USA), the customer list touched down 400,000 customers and 1.5 million blogs, websites and apps hosted.


Offers and Pricing

Shared Hosting Plans
Name Domains Disk Bandwidth Min Price Billing Term
Starter 1 Unlim Unlim $2.95 12 Mo
Unlimited Unlim Unlim Unlim $7.95 12 Mo

Currently, it offers 2 shared hosting plans: Starter and Unlimited. 

Payment options: monthly and annually, the latter option is way more beneficial (see the prices in the table above) as the monthly one is much more costly: $4.95/mo and $10.95/mo.

No setup fees are added, this is a plus.

The provider offers:

  • Shared / VPS / Dedicated / Cloud hosting,
  • WordPress services,
  • their own website builder,
  • domain registration and much more.

DreamHost promotes reliability. Offering freebies, DreamHost hype is accredited to PCMag’s ‘Best Web Hosting Service’ award-winning, and 100% uptime and 97-day money back guarantees. Nonetheless, the actual DreamHost uptime is pretty much the same as one of the cheaper web-hosts.


Support

Instant Technical Live Support: No

Dreamhost.com support chat

Thus, DreamHost cares about the clients excelling in friendly and instant customer support and supplying with an extensive knowledge base on the website. One “na-ah” is the lack of phone number.

Another one is (despite “Sales & Support, at your service. 24/7 in-house support, here when you need us.“) the fact that their live chat offers support only at certain hours:

Our Sales team is available from Monday – Friday, 8-4PM PT. If you’d like to leave your email address with me, they will contact you as soon as they can“.


DreamHost Summary Analysis by HRank

The company has been in the yellow rating zone for the past few years. We would not say that this is a good result for such a well-known company.

DreamHost is not on our recommendation list.
