Get DreamHost $5.95 Only Now!
DreamHost was just a small company when first established in 1997. Since then, they have come a long way, going from a single Pentium 100 to well over 700 servers. DreamHost currently hosts more than 200,000 websites with 50 times the processing power they began with. While they have certainly made strides in the industry, one thing about this company has remained the same throughout - the commitment to providing their clients with quality service and friendly support.

Reliability (4/5)
While customer reviews have been mostly positive, we couldn’t find anything on the website regarding DreamHost’s reliability. They do however, offer a 97-day money back guarantee, which is the longest trial period offered by any web hosting company on the market.
Price Value (3/5)
DreamHost runs on the reliable Debian Linux operating system. For only $5.95 per month they offer several useful features including a free domain, unlimited domain hosting and advanced features such as blogging software and file streaming. They are lacking in the area of storage and bandwidth in comparison to industry standards. The basic plan comes with 500 GB of storage which increases by 2 GB on a weekly basis. You only receive 5 GB of bandwidth at signup though it increases by 40 GB on a weekly basis. These limitations may be rather unattractive for someone looking to instantly generate a lot of web traffic.
Control Panel (4/5)
Instead of using a control panel like Plesk or cPanel, DreamHost offers their very own program that works just as well. The control panel includes a one-click feature similar to Fantastico. Scripts such as Wordpress, Joomla, Moodle and Zen Cart can be installed with ease. They also provide a demo login which allows you to test out the control panel and get familiar with the features.
Customer Support (3/5)
Support is a very important aspect of web hosting and DreamHost is somewhat lacking in this department. They do offer 24-hour support via email along with comprehensive online documentation in DreamHost Wiki and the DreamHost forum. This is where you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions. Phone support is available, however, it will cost you an additional $9.99 per month in which you’ll receive up to three call-backs per month.
Overall Value (3.5/5)
DreamHost is a great solution for many of your web hosting needs. They provide you with a plethora of features for a low monthly fee. However, their lack of bandwidth, storage and support makes them more suitable for small business purposes, though all plans include a number of e-commere tools.
