DreamHost Web Hosting Review

DreamHost Review: DreamHost offers a free trial period for you to test their web hosting services prior to a long term contract. Their shared web hosting package is chuck full of features. For very reasonable pricing you may also add features like a unique IP address, premium support, VPN access, an SSL secure certificate, or a DreamHost VPS (virtual private server).

DreamHost offers 24/7 technical support. However, this is going to be via a DreamHost Support Wiki or discussion forum. For "Premium Support" it will cost you an additional $9.95 a month which offers you 3 phone callbacks a month and unlimited live chat. This is suffient for most web hosting customers but if you are someone who likes to have a 24/7 toll-free support desk you can call then you may be a little disappointed.

One of the advantages of using DreamHost is you have the option to upgrade from a shared hosting plan to one with a virtual private or dedicated server as your site continues to grow, which is what most website owners wish to obtain.

DreamHost guarantees a 100% uptime and a 97-day money-back guarantee. This shows their confidence is providing web hosting services you should be happy with.
