Great support

DreamHost has hosted my blog site and managed my domain email addresses for several years. Usually all is well, but when I report any glitch, customer support is quick to respond courteously. Recently I received repeated email messages about unauthorized attempts to reset the WordPress admin password. I asked support about it and received explicit instructions and security tips from Arnold. The problem was quickly resolved. Thanks.

I’ve been waiting almost two weeks for DreamHost’s technical support to fix my web hosting account. I used Remixer to design a few sites and it now has me locked out of all my websites with no ability to edit them or make any changes. I can’t seem to get anyone to give me any answers other than they don’t know and the remixer platform is new.

Reply from DreamHost

Hey there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We understand how concerning and frustrating it is to be unable to access or edit your websites, especially when you've been waiting for a resolution for an extended period.

We recognize how important it is to have a reliable platform for your site design, and we’d like to take a closer look at what is causing this lockout with the Remixer platform. At this time, we weren’t able to locate your account or specific support ticket based on the information provided in this review.

We’ve sent a request through Trustpilot for additional details so we can identify your account and review your case more closely with our technical team. Once we have that information, we’ll be happy to follow up and guide you on the next steps toward getting your access restored.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to assisting you further.

Best regards,
AA

The folks at dreamhost proactively let me know that an upgrade to newer hardware was available and would be beneficial for our site. After we approve the upgrade, they took care of the ugrade which went smoothly and was completed quickly.

I’ve been with DreamHost for over 10…

I’ve been with DreamHost for over 10 years, and in that time I’ve only needed to contact support once or twice. Back then, responses could take a while, which I put down to a growing company.

Yesterday, I made a serious mistake — I accidentally deleted a client’s production domain, thinking it was no longer in use. Completely my fault.

The client’s support team reached out to DreamHost, and within 15 minutes they had forwarded the request to me. I attempted to restore the DNS records myself, but because the domain was already in a deletion state, I couldn’t do anything.

I then contacted DreamHost support directly, provided the correct records, and within minutes they had restored the domain back to a fully working production state.

I was genuinely blown away by the speed, professionalism, and lack of back-and-forth. No fuss, no delays — just a quick, effective resolution to a potentially major issue.

It’s incredibly reassuring to know they’ve got my back when it matters most.

I highly recommend DreamHost to anyone looking for reliable, battle-tested hosting with fast, no-nonsense support.

Thanks again,
Kevin Mohi

Helped us out of a jam

We recently migrated our site over to WordPress and eventually decided to move hosting over to DreamHost. Our experience with them has been excellent.

Unfortunately, due to an outdated theme, our site was hacked and a few pages were displaying an international gambling site. We signed up for ProCare services to eliminate all the malware. It took a few swings and a very deep inspection of all our code. But they figured it out. Their communications throughout that stressful time were outstanding and we always knew what was happening.

I'd highly recommend DreamHost for your hosting services, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.

Dreamhost hosts our non-profit domain and website. They have been very supportive of our non-profit and built a fabulous website which captures the non-profit purpose.

Fantastic Service Everytime

I have used their service many times and have always been 100% happy (and surprised). They have always done a great job, and based on my experiences with other companies, they far exceeded what I expected. I am happy with Dreamhost in ALL respects.

Dreamhost technical support goes above and beyond

Dreamhost technical support has always gone way above and beyond to help me. Their techs seem to love solving problems and being helpful - for instance, they've helped me with testing and configuration of my Wordpress website when I was running the open source version and hadn't purchased the Wordpress support plan - don't tell their bosses!

Incredible customer service

Every time I interact with Dreamhost support I am delighted with the technical acumen and customer service. They consistently handle any issue I need help with in a single email. This level of expertise and customer service is so rare these days. I'm a huge fan of both the Dreamhost platform and customer service team.

A relatively tricky set of problems…

A relatively tricky set of problems with two programs, the old, by now, unsupported Adobe Dreamweaver, my Website builder, and FileZilla, which had become my workaround utility to step in, where Dreamweaver no longer provided up- or download capability. These sort of problems require additional eyeballs and minds to analyze. I much appreciated the enthusiastic help provided by the DreamHost Tech Support Team. They stayed in touch, checked and used my screen grabs to help solve the issue in short order. We managed to get me back into the file up and download business with FileZilla in a few days. That's sufficient for my needs. They were understanding and friendly and put their valuable time and experience to work, leaving me a happy customer. I can't ask for more than that.
