Review Detail

Having been with DreamHost going on 1.5 years now - I'd have to say they are the best hosting providers I have ever dealt with. I usually juggle about 4-5 different hosting providers at any given time due to the volume of sites that I run, including VPS, a dedicated server, Godaddy hosting, and a couple of other providers. For the price and sheer volume of material that can be hosted on DreamHost - nobody can beat their package.

Every support ticket I have submitted has been responded to quickly. They have an extensive how-to wiki, and the support forum has scores of members always willing to lend some help.

Uptime was a bit of a problem not too long ago, however, it appears that their are getting their system into a more fine-tuned mode where any downtime occurrences are minimal or hardly noticed.

I am a Cpanel fan and I do have to say that it took some time to get used to the DreamHost user panel. It can be confusing at first, but once you've worked with it a few times, it becomes more logical. I especially appreciate the ability to create a new domain and seamlessly assign different functions, like Gmail and Google Apps, to the domain.
