Monitor uptime and speed of webhosting companies for your peace of mind !
How did Dreamhost became the webhosting revelation company of 2007?
As they proudly state on their website, Dreamhost was founded by four Computer Science undergraduates at hmc.edu in Claremont, CA in April 1997. Their first web server was a Pentium 100 connected to a shared bandwidth on a T1 line that a friend gave them at no cost.
With that infrastructure, they needed to be much better than their competitors from the very beginning. Therefore customer support and quality service has been their number one priority from the first day.
Since then, the small company has grown to over 700 servers and its own datacenter, and according to Webhosting.info, Dreamhost currently hosts more than 110,000 domains, and grows at a rate of more than 3,000 new domains per week !
Despite their success, Dreamhost has not lost their fast response time and nor have they sacrificed the high quality responses to whatever questions clients have. You can see for yourself by sending a question through the contact form at the Dreamhost website. Personally, whenever I am interested in buying a hosting plan from a company that I am not familiar with, I always send them a few questions regarding downtime, features, etc. If they take a long time to respond I forget about them.
Features:
But Dreamhost´s greatest attraction are the features they offer.. and their REALLY low prices.
Their smallest hosting plan ("Crazy Domain Insane - L1") is only $7.95 / month if you sign up for a 2 year period, and $9.95 / month if you sign up for 1 year or 3 month period.
That plan includes the following features:
- 200 Gb of disk storage, plus 1Gb every week !
- 2Tb (2000 Gb) of data transfer
- Unlimited domains hosted
- 1 Free domain (COM/NET/ORG)
- SSH access
- 3000 email accounts
- Unlimited MySQL databases
- Programming (PHP4, PHP5, Ruby On Rails, Perl, SSI, CVS, Subversion)
- WebDAV, Frontpage, Streaming, and more...
How can they do that ?
When I first found out about Dreamhost, I thought that it was impossible to offer such features at only $7.95 / month and still be a reliable service, so I asked their support staff how they did it.
The answer was brilliant. In order to guarantee the quality of their services and stability of their servers, they "limit" processor resources for every user, just to be sure that none of their customers "eat" all the server´s processor time where their (and maybe your) websites are stored.
This limit is big enough to let users run most web applications without any trouble: weblogs (Drupal, Wordpress...), ECommerce suites (like osCommerce), portal systems like PHPNuke or Mambo, etc.
There are blogs out there hosted by Dreamhost with thousands of visits per day, and they are far away from reaching the processor limit. :)
But, just in case your home made application eats too much of the resources, they offer a 97 Day money back guarantee. No questions asked if you wish to cancel your account in the first 97 days.
Our advice: Give them a try.. it's worth the time !
