    Dreamhost
    Dreamhost was previously a great web host with reliable service and top-notch features, but I can no longer recommend them. If you're looking for web hosting on a Linux platform (such as running PHP or platforms like Wordpress, Jooma, or Drupal), with simple pricing services, then this is the great service for you. One big downside is lack of phone customer support. This is especially frustrating because of their many issues the last few weeks, which aren't easily resolved or addressed by their team.

    TYPO3 is great if you need to connect some systems in company to work together: like ecommerce + CRM + ERP + MRP and build an Extranet for partners/dealers where they can order your products, see particular BOM (bill of material), paid/unpaid invoices and use email marketing on top of it. You can do it but keep in mind that you will need a dedicated hosting, well organized admin(s) and some handwritten code. For simple blog TYPO3 is also a good choose, but WP would be better I think.

    Pros
    Dreamhost
    • Customer service is industry-best. We've never had a problem that wasn't solved by them almost immediately.
    • Their dashboard is extremely easy to use and doesn't cause any confusion at all.
    • Their website speeds are good but not great. In an age when speed is important, they are good enough, especially for the price.
    • They have a great backup feature.

    • open source - do what you want, and even if you dont know how to do it - someone will do it for you
    • more secure than others (Joomla, WP, Drupal) - thanks to dedicated Typo3 Security Team
    • modularity and diversity - a lot of plugins/extensions
    • workflow and user roles - feel free to build a workflow templates ie. for documents routing
    • assets management - no matter is it a video, audio or text file, you can REALLY manage it.
    • typoscript language - sometimes JS is not enough

    Cons
    Dreamhost
    • They could have better deploy solutions for not so experienced users
    • More integration with external services to automate some tasks
    • Better ways to track hosting performance
    • The user management could be easier to understand

    • compared do Wordpress - far less community support
    • when you run a simple blog - it is simple as piece of cake. But if it is a large news site, with many user roles, extensions and permissions - it may be hard to find an admin that will organize and keep that stuff working.
    • server resources: so you want performance and speed with all that modules enabled? make sure that you have dedicated server in most cases. WP works much better here.

    We have every intention of staying with Dreamhost, but we are a tad concerned with the company's recent involvement in high profile litigation and controversial topics. While we don't take a position one way or another on what type of content they should host, one concern we have is that repeated attacks on their infrastructure have caused significant downtime during business hours for us, and that's something we'll have to take into consideration going forward.

    Support Rating
    Dreamhost
    Whether we're calling in on the phone, live chatting or emailing, we get immediate high-quality, native English-speaking support. This cannot be overstated when it comes to hosting, because support tickets are usually time sensitive and high stress. I've always had great experiences with the limited times we've needed to use DreamHost support. We've dealt with support for many other providers and no one comes close to DreamHost.

    Dreamhost
    We've tried a few other WordPress-specific hosts, as well as other shared hosting providers (Rackspace, WPEngine, and others). We have found that DreamHost gives the best balance of cost, performance, and features, for our needs. All vendors have their own pitfalls and shortcomings, and DreamHost isn't without its own, but it works for us.

    • more complex and elastic revoke system (undoing changes for multi-administrator systems) PHP/JS and TypoScript language
    • LTS - long ter msupport (bugfixes and updates)
    • usage rights and permissions (much more advanced thatn in WP/Joomla)
    • separation of design and content (in WP also but here is complex)
    • many plugins to integrate with external systems
    • several portals may be operated from a single admin/install

    Return on Investment
    Dreamhost
    • The service can really be a positive value with its very solid performance and lack of downtime issues found with other services.
    • For those with limited hosting or web development knowledge, the service can be a challenge to fully utilize. Sometimes this may mean additional training.
    • The service also provides a number of expansion opportunities for growing with greater functionalities.

    • + 1 platform that handles connections to 11 external systems (CMS, CMR, ERP, MRP, accounting, controlling, email marketing etc.)
    • + still lower TCO than commercial systems (Oracle, Microsoft)
    • + LTS - long term support - can provide you an updates or bugfixes
    • - resource consuming (forget about shared hosting in large projects)
