Dreamhost Review In Detail

	Dreamhost, one of the earliest, yet among the top 15 shared web host on the internet, has been functional since 1997. The company had been setup by four Computer Science undergraduates at hmc.edu in Claremont, CA, USA. Owned by its employees, the company seriously focuses on its clients’ needs to offer a solid web hosting service to them. Today, Dreamhost has more than 1500 servers, a permanent staff of 70 people (increasing with the passage of time), and an up to date data center. Excluding domain registrars, who act like hosts and domain parking service, Dreamhost is most likely the largest specialist shared host of the world. As the company is hosting almost 1 million websites currently, it certainly means that it has got qualities and a lot of advantages. However, like they say, ‘there are always two sides of the same coin’, we cannot ignore that Dreamhost also has some drawbacks. Let’s take a closer look now…
Advantages and Disadvantages of Dreamhost: Pricing – Dreamhost offers a bundle of quality features at a very reasonable price (maybe considered higher by many customers), that is, features including canned CGI scripts, full CGI access, SSH, PHP5, and Telnet, raw log files and analyzed access statistics, unlimited email forwarding, auto-responding, aliasing, vanity domain names, MySQL, e-commerce, ample disk space and transfer allowance are available for only $5.95/month. In addition to this, let us tell you one of the hidden ways by which the company promotes and gains more customers for itself, which is quite beneficial for some. Dreamhost par a generous referral fee to its customers of $97. Yes, that is true; whenever one of the customers refer this web hosting company to someone else, resulting him in using the companies services, Dreamhost actually pays this amount of money to the customer who gained the company another customer. Other than this, Dreamhost also ensures a 97 day money back guarantee to the customer if he/she is not satisfied with their service. Reliability and Honesty – The Company has great reputation for excellent reliability, especially in the starting months with any new customer, but a few have also complained Dreamhost network to be off-line for extensive periods. This might be because of the problems their data center had experienced over the past few months, and the customers had also been warned about it before hand. When the company faces some problems with its service, it clearly tells the truth to its customers, explaining exactly what the problem they are facing. This is a very honest and a commendable point about Dreamhost. Support – Dreamhost is famous for its timely and friendly responses to customer queries via e-mails. However, the company does not provide any toll-free helpline numbers, nor do they provide regular support lines. The customer who upgrades his/her package receives a set number of call backs, which need to be scheduled from the control panel. What We Say: On the whole, we can say that Dreamhost provides a satisfying service and top-quality features to its customers. Their package may seem a bit high priced to some, but then again, which other company provides such a great service with so many quality features in a small amount of money? We would certainly recommend this popular web hosting company to you!
