"Straightforward and Clean Control Panel"
What do you like about DreamHost?
What I like best is DreamHost’s control panel. It’s clean, well organized, and easy to use compared to the cluttered dashboards from other providers.

"Site repair -- thorough and communicative."
What do you dislike about DreamHost?
I wish that the process didn't take so long to start once paid for, it would be nice for that spool-up time to be cut down.

I was able to host my WordPress website easily at an affordable price, also use mail hosting services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
there was issue accepting PayPal as payment method Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DreamHost provides solid, reliable and comprehensive hosting at competitive prices. Their feature set is complete, and you can host almost anything. Their custom control panel provides easy and somewhat intuitive access to all of their features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My three disappointments are:
1. Overall performance has degraded over the years
2. I continually receive marketing promotions that do not apply to loyal, existing customers.
3. They removed the ability to forward emails from an email account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was very reliable and allowed us to build all the tools we needed to test before implementation across other sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice to have more than 2 options for a dedicated server but it does suffice so it isn't a major drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Shared hosting with Dreamhost is easy to set up and manage, and the support team is fantastic. I have a shared unlimited plan and can build as many sites as I need with unlimited bandwidth, and I can also set up managed email accounts for free with any site. Dreamhost's shared hosting also allows me to customize the setup for each website without feeling mired in code and tech. Accessing the control panel and making primary changes to the site structure could not be easier. It's also the primary hosting platform I recommend for not tech-savvy clients because it's intuitive to use. The support team is fantastic regardless of your level of experience with hosting and website management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's shared hosting, so if you need more dedicated resources and control, you won't get it with shared hosting. When there is a widespread issue with a shared server, you're at the whim of the team sorting it out and there is not a lot of recourse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the professional services are really good, the explanations on how to stay on top of the site as a web manager also running a company is very good and thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I had not known about the malware that infected my website for over 5 months and it would have been helpful to know it was infected when it originally occurred in October of 2022. Now I realize this is a special service which I was not paying for to have someone at DreamHost monitor the site for infections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They are fairly inexpensive. Not the cheapest, especially since they just raised prices. But a VPS is still cheaper than hosting everything on GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have frequent downtime without warning. Currently, all my sites have been down for 14+ hours and all I can do is wait for their support to fix it when they get time. So frustrating that my business is shuttered because they changed something. I haven't made code changes in weeks, and it's not a resource issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to understand interface.
Easy and straightforward installation.
Good documentation is available online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Troubleshooting can be painful sometimes.
Medium protection from malware. (complete protection should be included in the service fee) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciated the friendly and helpful approach of the team and the overall services that are provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing specific comes to mind regarding what I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customer service. Their willingness to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My website is being attacked too often. We are working on it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DreamHost has been in the business of web hosting for over 25 years. This reflects in their products, pricing, and user experience. They have products for every type of user starting from novices to experts. Very easy to get started and manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cloud and VPS hosting pricing could be a little more competitive. Customer service is usually great but may at times be laggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
