description Overview

DreamHost is a veteran, independently-owned web host officially recommended by WordPress.org. It is known for its strong commitment to open source, transparency, and a slightly alternative approach to hosting. It offers a wide range of services, including shared hosting, managed WordPress (DreamPress), VPS, and cloud computing. A standout feature is its custom control panel, which is clean and functional, though different from cPanel.

DreamHost provides solid performance, free SSL certificates, a built-in website builder (Remixer), and a generous 97-day money-back guarantee. Their commitment to privacy and being carbon-neutral are additional pluses. While support is knowledgeable, it is primarily ticket/chat-based, with no direct phone support, which may not suit all users.
