DreamHost Pricing Breakdown
Some comments, information, and a suggestion to DreamHost.
DreamHost was a web host I used once upon a time. I’m not using them anymore, however they do still register a few of my domain names for me.
Their pricing is very difficult to find,… they don’t actually even post it publicly anymore. If you want to see DreamHosts pricing, you actually have to be registered with them for a “free trial”, which actually requires you to transfer a domain name to them, or pay them to register a domain name.
I think this is very frustrating for people who just want to price out their plans, so I’ve taken the time to get the pricing information here and share it with you. If all you want is the pricing information, and the information behind the asterisk “as low as $8.95″ that they say, here is the pricing break down.
- monthly ($10.95/mo, $49.95 set up fee)
- yearly ($9.95/mo, the $49.95 set up fee will be waived)
- every two years ($8.95/mo, no set up fee)
- every three years ($7.95/mo, no set up fee)
- every five years ($6.95/mo, no set up fee)
- every ten years ($5.95/mo, no set up fee)
Note, prices are subject to change at any time without notice, so please contact DreamHost sales department for updated pricing details or to verify this information, as I am not responsible for the accuracy of this. Also, this is the pricing that was available to me as a long time subscriber. It is possible that this hosting plan is not offered to everyone. Again, please contact DreamHost sales for pricing quotes.
@DreamHost, please post your prices more clearly, and don’t require domain name transfers for your free trial. Everyone knows that domain name registration, name server hosting, and web hosting are three separate services. I can keep my domain name registered elsewhere and just use your name servers you have provided.
