DreamHost Reviews

My experience with DreamHost has been awesome so far. I experience very little downtime, download speeds are good for the most part and I have yet to run into a serious problem where I would have to contact customer support. I also love that they add new features every month and the amount of bandwidth and disk space you are allocated grows every week. I personally would recommend this web host to anyone that is starting to get into building/running websites as their web panel is very easy to use.

Dreamhost is really the best hosting company! I have been hosted with dh for 1 year. My experience is great! I really love their easy to use control panel. Everything is great! The support-guys are very cool and fast! I have been hosted with many other companies (such as hostgator, ixwebhosting, justhost, vexxhost, subdesign etc) but from all these, dreamhost is the best!

I've gone with Dreamhost shared hosting for a number of years. I felt I had to share my experience.
First of all, my websites don't sell anything online and don't get huge numbers of visitors, but if I relied on my site for my income, I would think about investing in a local server for piece of mind. For my purposes, showing (my own) video and music clips, Dreamhost shared hosting has been well priced and pretty reliable. When things have gone wrong ( which they do, every now and again ) its usually sorted out in a reasonable amount of time.
I found the User Panel and one step installation plugins (Wordpress) and streaming QT very useful for my purposes. I've always found the Customer Service top notch via e-mail and the help wiki is very intuitive. I haven't used the callback option but I tend to find e-mail support do the trick within 10-30 mins on average.
I recently upgraded to the private server to ensure stability which was quite a seamless transfer after a problem for a couple of hours. All as expected and things are running faster more consistently for a little more $ per month. The shared hosting is a very good option anyway and perfect if your starting out. Make sure you take advantage of the discount offers and you can get yourself, cheap reliable hosting...
With hosting generally, I think you generally get the reliability/speed/control you pay for, but with Dreamhost Sharing, you can get an inexpensive, speedy, service with friendly support (from my experience)

DreamHost recently spent all day going back and forth with me trying to figure out what was wrong with my domain registrar. Turns out this registrar is one of the disreputable ones many have ranted about on this site, and I was taken for a ride.
I got in on a bargain-basement sale DreamHost was having, but in spite of that, they've treated me like I paid full price. I've gotten amazing service from them, and the software they offer has been extremely easy to use.
I've not had a second of downtime, either. I can't say enough how impressed I am with DreamHost.

All I can say is, wow!
DreamHost is fabulous. You get SOO much for about $7.95 a month, which I guess isn't too terribly bad. The people there are very nice and in the 8 months that I have been hosted with them, I haven't experienced any downtime at all.
I definitely recommend DreamHost.
