Evaluation of DreamHost Webhosting

I have been making online businesses for ages, and I have sampled various web hosting services within that time frame. I've been working with DreamHost for roughly the last five years and I doubt I shall ever change to a different host. For no more than $9 per month, I am given limitless disk space and data transfer usage, HTML and database hosting, FTP and SSH, free e-mail hosting, along with a selection of other utilities. Perhaps best of all, DreamHost empowers you to create as many sites within a single account as you like. I capitalize on this by setting up tons of my personal internet sites on only one profile. The result is that I am spending less than a buck for each online site each month. DreamHost is one of the most affordable ways to numerous web sites.

You can actually operate your entire collection of websites via a single place since DreamHost delivers such a large number of products for free in addition to your hosting profile. You can also purchase your domain names with your admin console, monitor your business email, etc. That is all directly available via the admin console. If you are familiar with technology, you could even connect to your server via secure shell and manage it any way you like. For instance, if it turns out that DreamHost doesn't have the services you require, you'll have the authority to handle the installation yourself by using your secure shell application. That might appear to be a security hole (you're using a shared provider, after all), but it's not. Your blog sites are totally contained in your account's allocated area in the hosting server, which means you get complete ownership of your own space while also retaining the security of your web sites.

Another wonderful feature of DreamHost is the large amount of software programs that are automatically included on your server or that are simple to set up via one-click installation in the admin console. My favorite way to get a site online is by using WordPress, which is certainly one of the best content management systems on the planet. DreamHost makes it super easy for me to start a WordPress web-site. All I have to do is log into my cPanel and click "WordPress" beneath "One-Click Installs". DreamHost then walks me through the rest. I usually have an operational web site in under five minutes, not to mention domain and e-mail hosting. I cannot imagine a more efficient way to get a site started. But if WordPress is not your thing, then it is easy to select some of the other software applications available to you, like MediaWiki and CafeCommerce, or you could make your own website on your own by using PHP and MySQL. If you'd like to develop your site with a different technology stack, then you can use secure shell to install it.
