“DREAM HOST”

I have my own domain do you know if there is a fee to move my domain to DreamHost? Wow, what's happening on your hosting-server that you need to spend 3 hours each month dealing with it? I probably spend 3 hours a year. Or are you talking about time spent in WordPress itself? Can i get domain name emaik for businees free of charge in dream host or i must psy monthly.

“Avoid Dreamhost at all costs. After 20 years they've started adding random subscriptions and feed.”

I have a managed Wordpress portfolio site (Dreamhost handles regular updating) that hasn't been changed in years. A few months ago all my families email shut down. Turned out Dreamhost had an issue updating my Wordpress PHP to the latest. Since they couldn't update it they began charging me a small monthly fee for using the old PHP. I never used the old PHP. They did. I had a $15 bill. They also couldn't tell me how to fix the issue or which WP blog was at fault. I paid the bill and my account took days to turn back on after customer service told me they'd turned it back on and would refund the $15 and tell me how to stop it from happening. They never did. Today? It happened again. They've been billing me that small fee with no notice. It's kind of wild to watch a business just take a 20-year relationship and trash it over their own error but ok. I'm not sure where else to call this out.

Dreamhost sounded like a winning choice with it's low hosting package cost, monthly cost was great but overall service and more importantly website access speed were snail pace. I was getting too many emails from clients which i was hosting their sites complaining how slow websites were loading and had to switch to more a faster service after Dreamhost did not respond to my inquiries on the matter and luckily found another webhoster at Hostinger at a cheaper rate and faster access speed. Dreamhost became a distant memory soon after.

Their customer service is not all that good, They will keep giving you article to read and not answer questions. Others don't know what they are talking about, others will help you. Their dedicated sever don't have an easy daily back up for you to manage you have to do a corn from your server. That would be your only daily back up for your web site, other than they have their own at mid night in CA. That not good for me, cause my developer works that hours and don't finish till 8a since they are from India. They don't have an easy restore for your contents back up files you would have to go through your ftp files and do your own restore.
