I've been with Dreamhost for a long time. Never had a problem. Excellent customer support and documentation. Many supported CMS options and the new DreamObjects services looks great. There a lot of options for hosting but Dreamhost always wins out for me.

Great company, great service, great products. I also like the DreamHost is leading the way on Industry Standards groups like OpenStack... that says a lot about the staff who work at DreamHost and their commitment to open standards.

Pros: • Customer service • Trouble free one click install • Good priceCons: • Few down time • Could have more choice of one click install

Dreamhost are what I want out of a company, reliable service, good communications. The tech support gets back to you fairly quickly. As long as they continue improving as they have been over the years I've been with them, then I'll continue to host with them...

Whenever I've had an issue even on things they officially don't support the support personnel have been great about helping anyway. The speed issues may be caused by the software I'm running for my site.

I have been a Dreamhost customer side 2006. For the first few years, Dreamhost was a very good hosting company. One of its best features was its tech support. However, for the past few years, its tech support has become its worst feature. If you are running any sort of third-party software, tech support will always blame the third-party software and refuse to even consider your problem. At the same time, Dreamhost is a very unstable environment for dynamic sites, as hackers seem to have easier access than customers. A dynamic site hosted on Dreamhost will crash eventually, and tech support will be no help whatsoever. Also, and I forgot to list this as a con, its mail system is very unstable as well. Losing access to email is commonplace.

I worked for a small hosting company in the 1990s, and have since used two major hosting services (GoDaddy and Hostgator) and three smaller ones. Dreamhost has been my primary hosting service for seven years. I have a standard shared hosting account which is fine for the 15 domains I look after. No hosting service is perfect, but for me Dreamhost's excellent customer service and their general approach towards the business of hosting gives them the edge over their competitors.

I've been hosted on a friend's shared account on DreamHost for a little less than two years. During this span, I only had two major downtimes - each of them lasting no more than a couple of hours - and I had to contact support only once, during the second downtime; they always got back to me in 30-40 minutes at most (which, compared to other hosts taking days to answer, is quite good).My friend decided to leave DH and move to a cheaper host due to the high monthly fee of $ 8.95/mo, much higher than most of the other shared packages you see around; it's close to some reseller fees, and not all site owners can pay that amount (I could never have). Aside from the price, the only other main con of DreamHost is its interface: I've never seen such a bloated, complexe UI; it takes you forever just to understand how to navigate it, let's not talk about the single features. It's a titanic task the simple creation of a MySQL database - but I'm not that smart, though.Overall, I definitely recommend DreamHost, due to its excellent uptime, its support and in general its reliability; if I could afford it, and despite the interface, I'd be happy to choose it again.-NOTICE- I AM IN NO WAY RELATED TO DREAMHOST OR ITS STAFF, NEITHER WAS I PAID TO POST THIS REVIEW. I WAS INVITED TO REVIEW THIS HOST ON HERE BECAUSE OF TO ANOTHER DREAMHOST REVIEW I MADE. MY REVIEW IS COMPLETELY TRUE AND UNBIASED AND CAN BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE.
