Overall Satisfaction with DreamHost
I'm using Dreamhost myself since 2008. I started my first blog there by using their WordPress service with one click installation. At the time, I wanted to start sharing my knowledge but did not have too much time to set up my own infrastructure for blogging. It was really easy to get my blog with custom domain up and running.
- One click installers work really well.
- When I needed support it was really effective.
- As a new customer, it was really easy and fast to get what I wanted (WordPress in a shared hosting).
- If you want to deploy something that needs more tuning and is not a one-click installer it will take some time.
- As any shared hosting, the libraries will be outdated because they can't update it without breaking many things.
- Sometimes my blog was unavailable for some time without reason. Probably problems with bad neighbors.
- It helped me a lot to start publishing posts. The process to get my stuff up and running was really fast.
- The domain registration was really simple.
- At the time, they had an integration with Google Apps, which made my e-mail to be handled by Google. A huge win for me.
I did not try many services before trying Dreamhost. I was looking for something simple and some friends mentioned it. After using it I found some alternatives but none of them were so simple as Dreamhost for one-click installers like this.
