DreamHost

Just trying to help?

You should edit out your referral link. It's frowned upon here.

When are negative comments allowed?
If you know a "deal" is a scam.

If the post contains improper links, such as click-through referrals, etc. If you know a better link for the same deal, post it in the thread.

Guess the $65 per refered client got to ya?

Ratings are up and down.

UPs
- Good company, stable. Not over the night
- Has somewhat good servers

Downs
- Somewhat of downtime
- Slow DB, POP3, CP creatin. Can take up to 4 hours to create a database (Just the database, with no conent)
- Put on a crowded server.

People have said that this plan is legit so if you have $10 go ahead and do it, the worst is u loose $10.

Who has control over your domain after the 12 months? You or them?

I wouldn't say thats the worst. What I would say would be the worst case would be if your domain got popular and after a year you couldn't get it from them.

Probably them, otherwise this would be HOT even if you used the hosting for 1 month.

 

[flyers1]

must have missed it. Looks like 9.95 a month to me

 

[Yardsale]

At the end, when it gives you the promo code, you should be able to type in 777 and it will show the discount. it did for me.

 

[user3657]

i too am wondering about the domain after a year..........

 

[Yardsale]

Dreamhost has been around for quite a long time...they're not a fly-by-night operation, so I don't think it's any different than other hosting companies...

 

[Yardsale]

Currently when I run a whois search on the domain I just bought (http://www.hirethisguy.com) it has all my information and not the hosting company, so I guess it's all good

 

[gr8tango]

These guys are legit.

The control panel for my account was custom built by hand based on customer feedback. The response time was fast when I had questions. Of course, I had met some of their people, so I don't know if they have given me special treatment.

I have been running tests there:
http://www.bptest.dreamhost.com/

The PHP setup was a little different than what I was used to, but one of my engineers found the problem and fixed it after reviewing their FAQs better than I did.

 

[weepul]

how much is it after the 1st year? i need a host after my 1and1 accounts expire.

//krunk (^_^x)

 

[dc]

deal dead? i don't see the 9.24 special anymore

 

[sunase]

Still working as of now. Impressive seeing the code knock ~110$ off the 1 year plan. I put your site in the refer thing as well.

 

[Yardsale]

For all those wondering, I plan to take my hosting elsewhere after the year is over. You have to make sure you cancel before the year expires or they will automatically bill you. There is a setting you can change in the control panel that sets it. Hope that helps!

 

[duritz]

fyi this deal is still going on i just got my website registered/hosted last night for 9.24 for the year

if you want complete steps on how to get it done you can just email me and i'll help you through it ^_^

/edit/ They do offer a PAYPAL function that will not auto recur at the end of the year. Just a FYI /edit/

cPanel licenses are expensive.

Besides either this web host will be dead in a few months or service/uptime will be spotty.

You get what you pay for.

 

[mannydx]

this is now bumped up to 120GB transfer monthly for the same price, you can use that same promo code, and they are tripling some aspects of the level 1 account as well. i did it, coolness!

 

[rmcastil]

RossMAN, is this a good deal to jump on? I'm a noob to the whole webpage and forum thing but I've seen before that you give out a lot of advice to this type of thing. I tried to PM you but I saw that you can't reply to your PM's.

 

[AnyMal]

Any way to confirm that you still have the control over your domain after one year?

No, this is totally unrealistic pricing.

I would suggest this instead.
