Overall Satisfaction with DreamHost

As an independent web developer, I often inherit the use of platforms selected by my clients. I have one long-term client who came to me with a couple different websites hosted on DreamHost. I utilize the DreamHost administrative panel for database and file management as well as configuring email accounts and forwarders.

  • Live Support Chat

  • Uptime and Reliability
  • Saves Time
I have used many different hosting platforms over the years. My personal favorite hosting environment is cPanel on a dedicated server. The DreamHost feature set falls right in the middle of most managed hosting platforms for me. It provides all the basic needs, but lacks advanced features like simplifying deployment of staging environments.

Do you think DreamHost delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with DreamHost's feature set?

Yes

Did DreamHost live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of DreamHost go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy DreamHost again?

No

DreamHost is well suited for the novice website developer who needs an intuitive interface for File Management. Most web designers rarely need to access the server at all. But when it comes to providing comprehensive technical support, it is often necessary to access File Management tools or create FTP accounts. DreamHost makes this simple, though I personally prefer the standard cPanel interface.
