"One failure after another, by far the worst hosting ive ever used"
0/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It;s unreliable, hard to use, and slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

My site has gone down at least a dozen times with dreamhost. And my wordpress sites are slow as molasses. I can't wait to migrate everything off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DreamHost had all the primary hosting features we wanted"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

I like that DreamHost has been in business for many years and has consistently gotten high praise from web design media and user reviews. The pricing for all the main hosting plans is ridiculously low compared to many popular hosting plans at other leading hosting companies. It's nice that DreamHost offers several different web products that make our development life much easier. We can transfer files quickly and create new web content databases with just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

The loading times for the shared hosting are usually not that bad, but since there can be lots of activity at any given time, we can often experience slower loading speeds. I think it's good that DreamHost has a web builder, but it is not really as effective and easy to use as some other web builders I've used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DreamHost is the "end all" of Hosting Companies"
5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

We love using Dreamhost for all of our website and app hosting needs due to the performance of their servers, their customer support and the quality of their admin management system. We have used and loved DreamHost for many years now and have no plans of moving to any other platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

There really isn't much to dislike about Dreamhost at all. Would maybe love to see free phone support maybe for long-term users or something? Also maybe a stronger community sense so that we can provide support for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It was a smooth process and a great website to maneuver when initially getting started."
5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

I liked that I was able to follow the simple directions provided in order to get hosting set up right away. The pay structure was also affordable for someone like me who had been introduced to DreamHost through a coding tutorial I worked through with a leader in the industry who trusted DreamHost as a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

I didn't like the formats they used when trying to build your own website through their platform. There are better ways to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Longtime Customer "
4.5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

The prices are competitive, they provide excellent customer service, and I have not had issues regarding up-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

Fortunately, I can't think of anything I dislike. Dreamhost has a decent amount of product offerings, but I suppose it could always get better if they add more? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better Than A Lot of Companies for Your Hosting Needs"
2.5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

I like the different hosting plans that they offer, there is multiple tiers depending on your needs and your expect web traffic bandwidth. Also if you are pretty comfortable with coding dreamhost makes it easy for your change the coding for your websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

If you are somewhat new to websites then it can be a hinderance, when I try to get other people to modify the site on my behalf there is a lot of confusion as opposed to other hosting sites like Blue Host where is it super user friendly. And my main issue with them is you can't reach customer service by phone. They have chat but only during limited hours and email. If you get disconnected mid chat you'll have to explain what happened sometimes all over again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Website Hosting"
5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

What I like the most about being a dreamhost client is that they update really often. So privacy or encryptions are always up to date. With other hosting sites they are sometimes behind on new implementation. Their prices for new customers are really good, and I definitely have my clients taking advantage of that. Along with the good pricing for new customers that I like they always add on things for free, while other hosting companies will charge you extras. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

They've been having a lot of webmail issues the last month. Normally I have been super satisfied with how their mail works. Adding it to a pop account is tedious and not as easy but you can have it integrate with google mail very easily, but once you change it to sync with google mail its tedious changing it back. But if you don't use google mail and just use their webmail they've been trying to fix it, but it seems like a while since it's been working properly. So hopefully they get it sorted out so it works perfect like before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dreamhost Unlimited Hosting Cheapest Around"
5/5
What do you like best about DreamHost?

I shopped around for different hosting sites and I found a promo and was able to get unlimited hosting for all my websites for less than 5 dollars a month. I've had cheaper hosting but let me tell you I always had issues with them. GoDaddy for starters didn't couldn't fix my wordpress problem because they didn't have the means to handle the updated wordpress. That was a bummer. Tried other misc ones too and so far been super happy with them here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DreamHost?

Wish you could talk to someone on the phone. I bet it would make things a lot easier when I have a problem. Im pretty impatient and rather just talk, but they have chat support which is probably better for them than having people explain themselves in crazy ways and being overwhelmed with their problems. Still like talking to a person than chatting with them online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
