DreamHost review for US websites

DreamHost is an independent US company — a useful fact in a market dominated by holding groups. It is a solid fit for privacy-minded WordPress audiences, developers who like SSH on shared plans, and teams that want a host with a public stance on user data.

DreamPress, the managed WordPress line, is the product we recommend for most US content sites. Caching, staging and automatic updates are included; that is closer to WPX in intent, at a lower typical invoice.

Use DreamHost when independence and WordPress tooling matter. If you need a classic cPanel reseller desk with US phones, InMotion or AccuWebHosting will feel more familiar.

Pros

• US-owned, independent operator
• DreamPress is a credible managed WordPress stack
• Unlimited bandwidth on many shared plans

Cons

• Shared panel (custom) has a learning curve versus cPanel
• Phone support is limited compared with InMotion
