“Dream-hosting.co.uk is excellent”
Written on: 14/05/2013 by itbristol
I've used many hosing companies before, and after using dream-hosting.co.uk for the last 2 years, it is the most reliable by far. They've recently upgraded their servers to virtual servers, and they are flat out & very reliable. Would defo recommend! I think most technical people use these guys. (read more)

For reasonably priced web hosting which doesn't sting you with massive charges for basics which are sold as extras you need look no further than Dream Hosting. Their support is world class and their servers are rarely down, on those rare occasions of downtime it's always short lived. Their staff are knowledgeable and very helpful and have never failed to satisfactorily resolve a query in over 3 years. We at MJCO Limited are proud to use Dream Hosting for our own website and those of our... (read more)

I have found DreamHosting to be a great provider. They are friendly and helpful. They always respond in a way that helps me solve my problems very quickly and they do not expect you to be an expert admin either, which is very helpful. I would be happy to recommend them to a friend. (read more)

Your account was suspended as it had a functionality flaw, which was causing performance issues on the server. As is our standard practise the account is suspended immediately to avoid disruption of service to other users.
We worked with you and provided help, and gave you 4 chances to fix the issues over the course of a month, and this wasn't done. We were still happy to help you resolve the issues but it was your choice to cancel your account.

not so sir. the flaw was a DOS attack on our site, but we only found out about it when we took the site from your service and found a service where they could actually work WITH us and tell us what the problem was. DOS attacks, I am told, are very common nowadays and unless you can work with your customers to let them know what the problem is, as opposed to closing their websites down and doing nothing more, then you really dont deserve the business of customers who need to be able to rely on their ISP in any way what so ever. Is till have the emails back and forward and the information you actually gave us was Not a Damn Thing.

My account with Dream-Hosting has been compromised twice and taken offline but twice has been put back within a day (although the second time, no replies were made to my ticket but they still re-activated my site). I'm hoping now they can tell me where the issues originate so I can eliminate them.

“Amazing service”
Written on: 14/12/2012 by HappinessBackpack.com (1 review written)
Let me just say at the outset of this review, that I am a total newcomer to technology. So setting up a website and buying hosting & domains was a huge learning curve and fear mountain for me. Dream-hosting.co.uk were so incredibly helpful and swift at getting back to me. I had no problems cancelling my first order when I did the wrong thing. Then when I had sorted myself out, they totally held my hand through the process of directing a domain I had bought from GoDaddy (not so helpful)... (read more)

“Cheap and Excellent Functionality”
Written on: 08/12/2012 by rich_tech (1 review written)
Not a lot to say other than singing Dream Hosting's praise, because the service speaks for itself, excellent all round, cheap (I am on the bronze package) and it has been pretty much flawless and hassle free since setup, with a back end that enables you to do many things quickly and without any fuss, the entire system from the moment I ordered has worked flawlessly and in 3 years, only one single problem has happened and that was solved within 5 minutes of the ticket being raised.

I've been using Dream Hosting for over 5 years now on various sites & will continue to do so. Hosting packages & domains are set up almost instantly after registration & support, if needed, has always been prompt, helpful & polite. Downtime has been minimal & I've yet to receive a complaint from a client. Highly recommended. (read more)

“Great value for money.”
Written on: 03/11/2012
I use Dream-Hosting for hosting a website for a brass band and is a vast improvement on our previous site/webspace provider. As I developed the website myself I have never used any of the site building tools provided, and I have rarely had any problems. When I first created the website I created a login system using PHP/MySQLi, but discovered that the server initially didn't have this module installed (at the time). I raised a support ticket and they resolved it for me in the space of a few... (read more)

I've been publishing websites since 1995 so have used numerous hosting companies over the years, e.g. Just Host, Demon, Freeola, Tagadab etc. and I have to say none of them can touch Dream Hosting for quality of service, value for money and an impressive support team who are only too willing to bend over backwards to get any issue sorted. I've now been happily with them since 2006, starting off with a Silver Hosting Package and now on a Business Virtual Private Server. Opting for... (read more)

I've been hosting my site with these guys for 4 years. I've never had any downtime, and any time I've had to get in touch with them for a issue or question, they've always been very quick to respond and with the correct information. I used to host my email with them too, which I never had a problem with. For my own reasons I now use Google Apps, but that was a personal choice and it shouldn't reflect on the quality of the service I've received. It may sound like this review is too good to...

Dream Hosting has a simple intuitive interface that allows me to keep track of my website and any renewals I need to make. I have had two technical experts utilize the site twice to make certain changes to my website and they recommended it to me as the go to provider for web hosting.

I've been with Dream Hosting several years and their tech support has always been prompt, polite and helpful. I find this the most important aspect of a hosting company. The company also compensated users for a recent server outage due to a technical problem with a free period of hosting, which was appreciated. The interface is straightforward and easy to use too. I've now moved all my hosting to this company from others I was using. (read more)

I use the service for email hosting, generally this works fine. I do however have a recurring problem with mail being returned from AOL addresses. I have raised support tickets about this but the problem has not and cannot be solved. This creates particular difficulties when sending to groups which include AOL and non-AOL addresses as the AOL addresses are usually returned, I then need to use my gmail address.

Overall great value for money with support and communications you would expect from a much more expensive package. (read more)

Their software is intuitive,and there hasn't really hasn't been any problems whatsoever. Every time I have contacted them they have been friendly and helpful, without making me feel like a plonker (as some companies can) and at the same time making me feel like my query was as important to them as if it was their own. The prices seem very fair - and they deliver on their promises. In short, I would have no problem recommending them to a friend. (read more)

I agree. Have two sites with dream-hosting, customer service never reply to anything. Cheap, yes. But this is a false economy in the long run.
