Overall Satisfaction with DreamHost

I just needed a landing page to direct traffic. DreamHost was an affordable plan to do just that.
  • WordPress sites
  • Emails
  • It is not intuitive for newbies.
  • Cost
  • Easy build out
  • A 300% cost increase is not healthy for my company budget.
  • They are reasonable and if you ask, they will find a price to keep you as a customer.
Squarespace is inexpensive and relatively easy to use. You will pay extra for emails. IONOS is similar to Squarespace but with packages that include lots of email accounts and space. NameCheap and Register are where I typically buy domains.

Do you think DreamHost delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

IONOS, by 1&1, Squarespace
I had zero problems or complaints with DreamHost until out of the blue they notified me that my monthly rate is going up 300% after one year, though they advertized that the rate would not change. I see lots of people shocked by this in the past few months. Not inclined to stay with them as there are now less expensive options for what the product offers.
