Review – Dreamhost Web Hosting
Dreamhost has been synonymous with professional and reliable web hosting and the company has been around since 1997. Over the years, the company has garnered ample popularity in the hosting industry as a reliable web host. Their servers are located in Southern California and although the company has experienced some server shut downs, the pattern is no different than any other professional hosting company.
The company’s hosting plan starts at $7.95 per month and a free domain name registration is included within this hosting plan! Furthermore, the customer gets access to 160GB of storage, 1.65 TB of monthly bandwidth as well as the ability to host unlimited number of domain names. This therefore is an unbeatable deal and offers complete value for money.
The host offers yet more unique benefits and features to its customers. These include rewards and bonuses in terms of an increase in monthly storage space and bandwidth. So when a customer signs up for a hosting plan with Dreamhost, he would automatically be entitled to an increase in disk storage every week! This amount is in fact determined by the type of plan that is purchased. So if a customer plans to sign up for their lowest priced hosting package (@ $7.95per month), then he would get an increase in disk space of 1 GB every week and the bandwidth grows by 16 GB every week. Furthermore, the company keeps adding special bonuses and offers from time to time and this further enriches the customers’ hosting experience.
The company has garnered mixed reviews and testimonials but a majority of their reviews reflect the professionalism and reliability offered by the company. Customers signing up for Dreamhost would not be disappointed by the customer support either. Their interactive forum is very helpful for people who are looking for hosting or company related information, guidelines and tips.
Their single-click installs are a favourite among many users as it facilitates one click installation of plug-ins like WordPress. With a web hosting service that is reasonably priced and boasts of a satisfied customer base, potential customers need not worry about risking their investments. It is however advisable to have any queries or concerns addressed before you sign up for their web hosting plan. This would also help you choose a hosting package that is best suited for your website as well as fits your budget.

Does Dreamhost offer promotion renewal codes for customers who wish to re – register and renew at a discount?
Dreamhost review sites offer a discount code and coupon promotion of almost every description. I am a returning customer and need to renew my web hosting. My free domain is also coming up for renewal. Does Dreamhost offer discount vouchers for customers renewing their hosting service, and does this include a free domain renewal too? If not is there a dreamhost alternative?
I would contact them direct for the most accurate response.

It would appear that there is some misinformation circulating the
Internet about what returning Dreamhost customers can and can’t do.
Some have stated that ‘opening a new account, you are not complying
with DreamHost’s Terms of Service and may get your account suspended.’
Others seem to think that the initial offer is an act of philanthropy
and comes out of Dreamhost’s good heart.
Obviously Dreamhost can charge these promotional prices and still make
a profit, the hope is that customers simply renew at the normal rate
without question.
The good news is that the terms of service state that a customer can
only have one hosting plan at a time. So as long as you close your
existing plan, or wait until it has expired, you can open a new
account.
‘8) The Customer agrees to hold only one (1) active web hosting
service plan at any given time with DreamHost Web Hosting. Signing up
for multiple plans is grounds for termination of all plans, including
the first one, without warning.’

The steps to renew an account and get your discount are as follows;
1) Save all emails and other web content that is currently hosted
by dreamhost as this will be deleted when you close your account.
2) Close your existing account at Dreamhost :
a) Login to your WebPanel and
b) Go to Billing > Manage Account
c) Click on your hosting plan and select "close this account"
3) Click to https://signup.dreamhost.com/ sign up using the promo

NOTE: You are not closing your whole account, just terminating your
current hosting plan. This means that you will still have access to,
and be able to renew any existing domain names.
