Today we are going to talk about web hosting company DreamHost.com. I decided to write this review because I use this web hosting and it’s a way how to host and even set up unlimited number of blogs and sites.
Let’s start from beginning. On their homepage there is something I don’t like so much. They keep their home page really short. There is almost no information about their services, only signup button. If I were them, I would definitely described more what’s going on and what do I offer.
After clicking on Signup button you will be redirected into the signing up process which is easy to follow. They keep it as short as possible. You can see an extra options a bonuses you can order, they’ll give you a free domain name.
DreamHost accept various types of payments like Credit card or PayPal. You can use whatever type you want. Their prices are low. If you host over one hundred sites like me, it’s super cheap and amazing. For this price you’ll get unlimited disc space and you can add unlimited number of domains. This can be useful especially later.
Their administration system is well-arranged. It doesn’t matter if you manage your domains, MySQL databases or One-click installations. You can find everything in main menu sidebar on the left. One thing I like is support team. They can help you with any problem. There is a good system for contacting support. They answer fast.
Great feature for every blogger-beginner is One-Click Installation. You can literally install various types of open source software on your domain in a second. You can choose from WordPress and Joomla (publishing systems), ZenCart (online store platform), Gallery (photo manager) or phpbb (online forum) without any need of handling databases, copying files on FTP, rewriting etc.
Other thing that amazed me was integration of Google Apps that allows me to use Google Email, Calendar, Docs, Sites and Chat just for my domain. Personally I use the email the most. It automatically set up everything I need so I can register to my Google Email by typing (mail.yourdomain.com) and I have an opportunity of using Gmail for your own domain for free. If you want to set up Google Apps account with regular hosting your have to go through a process of authorization and it can take couple hours to get is done completely. But with DreamHost everything is ready to use immediately.
I have been using DreamHost for over half year and I have I’m satisfied with it. Sometimes I had problems with their administration system when I used Opera internet browser (I thing it was generating security code for adding a new domain). I also remember one time when their database system was broken for about hour. But over all I really like this web hosting and I would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to start own blog and later maybe own professional career in order to make money online or already has some sites and blogs.
