Locked me out of my own site!

by dangerine , Jun 17 '05
Pros: Tons of bandwidth
Cons: Support ranges from 'curt' to 'openly hostile'
My experience with Dreamhost was positive at first. Although their admin control panel was impossible to navigate, they offered way more bandwidth than anyone else for a good price. But then the outages started. It seems like they really, really ...

Starting to lose faith.

by mickeloaf , Apr 16 '05
Pros: Great Features, liberal access to your own account, good value.
Cons: Database downtimes are becoming a big problem, considering moving the site.
This is my 3rd hosting company, and I've been with DH for about a month now. I chose Dreamhost due to alot of the features such as command line access, multiple sub-domains, good control panel, etc. The value has also been very good. Dreamhost has ...

Formerly Outstanding Company - Growing Faster than They Can Support Their Customers

by foo10019 , Apr 14 '05
Pros: Falling prices. Rising service caps. Growing feature list.
Cons: Bitten off more customers than they can handle and it's showing.
This is an update to the the earlier review, which appears below in its entirety: July 2006 - Support and service continues to decline. On any given day, it seems, something will be down, unavailable, or just plain irritating with my service. ...

DreamHost or *DuH* hosting i like to call it

by matirxviper , Mar 08 '05
Pros: used to be a very good hosting provider in `04
Cons: Gilligans Island mentality (no phone, no lights, no motorcar :P)
I am not sure if it is growing pains or what, but, DreamHost ("DuH")has gone from a relatively good hosting provider to a virtual Nightmare as of late. I have been with them for a little over a year now and the past four months have been sheer ...

great price... terrible support....downtime

by mmreed , Aug 30 '04
Pros: Low price, easy web panel admin
Cons: no tech support number, slow to respond to tech issues, too much downtime
Dreamhost was a great service... I have been with them since 1998. Recently the service has gone downhill... as I write this, I my email is down again... seems to be down at least once a month if not more. There is no telephone number to reach them ...

DREAMHOST ARE IRRESPONSIBE COWBOYS! - AVOID

by journoscum , Mar 13 '04
Pros: NONE WHATSOEVER
Cons: THEIR F*** OFF ATTITUDE TO COMPLAINING CLIENTS AND THE ABOVE REASONS WHY THEY'RE CRAP
Dreamhost host a site (www.gomechewatch.com) which is blatently destroying the lives of my family and myself. My MP has written to the British Home Secretary about this site and we have succeeded in getting it shut down by more responsible hosting ...

Big on features, Low on price!

by digitalgravy , Feb 16 '04
Pros: Fast connection, serious uptime and all around great hosting company
Cons: No ASP and telephone support only available on higher level plans.
DreamHost is by far the best hosting company I’ve used. I build websites and I’ve dealt with dozens of hosting companies. I recommend DreamHost to all of my clients and I use them for my sites. There are so many positives and few negatives. ...

DreamHost - Excellent Web Hosting Service

by geekmedic , Jul 26 '03
Pros: Very fast page loads and bandwidth, good data transfer limits, reasonably priced
Cons: For the price I pay? None! Actually none for any price!
I was skeptical when I first signed up for DreamHost because I have seen many of these types of comp ...

Dreamhost: Evil or Just Incompetent?

by brooker59 , Dec 11 '02
Pros: None.
Cons: They offer no phone support, limited email support, and ignore you when they screw up.
First Dreamhost accidentally shut down my client’s site after he took out a 5K ad in the New Yorker. Then they ignored a request to switch from yearly hosting to monthly hosting and billed my client for the full year against their wishes, and refuse...

DreamHost.com became NightMare.com for me

by jjolley , Dec 03 '02
Pros: Relatively inexpensive
Cons: Not good for e-commerce, uncaring attitude, inconsistent customer service
DreamHost "offers" Miva shopping cart hosting, but they only have one person trained in Miva support, so if your store has a problem when that person is gone - good luck!

My store has been down for almost 3 weeks, and I am in the process of...

Dreamhost: the host with the most ;)

by floydabazz , May 10 '02
Pros: Features, price, customer service
Cons: No phone support, setup fee if you don't pay a year in advance
I've been hosting with Dreamhost for about a year and a half. I'm more of a 'hobbyist' than a professional web designer, but I host 8 domains, and have been doing web development for about 6 years. I don't plan on ever switching to another host unless I...

You get what you pay for

by frootbat31 , Aug 29 '01
Pros: Cheap price, you can upgrade your service easily
Cons: no phone support- heck, no support at all! terrible uploading
Although the price is low, you can count on terrible service, and no means to talk to a live person. Even I know of several means to have live technical support via the web or a more thorough FAQ area.
It often took days to fix errors, that were...

Trust your domain / website / company with DREAMHOST!

by aimzy , Aug 15 '01
Pros: Reliable, very low downtime rates, good prices, great customer service, "price freeze"
Cons: Wouldn't recommend for businesses
I have been using Dreamhost for almost 2 years now, and I have never been unsatisified with their services! Let me tell you some of the great things about this company.

Cons: None!
I've been using Dreamhost for about 9 months to host my personal website, moosedogtoo.com and I just added another personal site, nickandlaurel.com. I have been very pleased with the service that I have received.
