Dreamhost offers one shared hosting plan. This plan includes many features that you will probably not need another hosting plan. With this hosting plan you can create almost any kind of website, and create unlimited sites. Whether it would be Joomla site, wordpress blog or phpbb forum or else, you will not need any upgrades whatsoever. It also includes fast installation tool that will help you install most popular script (like the ones above) with single click of a mouse button. E-commerce features are included like SSL (for $15 a year from dreamhost), dedicated IP ( but you will need to pay extra fee. You also get a free domain name ($15 value!). The plan includes a online web management panel that allows you to easily manage all aspects of your web hosting needs including mysql management, domains, FTP, billing, etc. The panel is simple and easy to use. You can login in the panel at the following url: https://panel.dreamhost.com
Dreamhost does not use other control panel as most of the hosts, but they have developed their own. It offers the most of the features other control panels have (like cPanel for example) including but not limited to managing MySQL databases (and mysql users), managing users, FTP accounts, domains including adding new domains or editing existing ones, and many other features and options are available. It is complete hosting panel which includes every thing you need to manage your website online via your favorite web browser (firefox, opera etc.). The interface is simple and easy to navigate. It is built with latest modern web programming technology (AJAX etc.) and it is fast. This control panel does not look like cPanel panel but is powerful. There is no additional fee for using this panel. The panel includes many tools like the one-click installer which is simular to Fantastico. Popular web apps include are wordpress, joomla, drupal, phpbb and many others. Updates are also automatic. This tool is great for inexperienced users or lazy users like me to install web software. Everything is setup by this tool including creating databases, tables, users, script files.
Dreamhost is one of the best hosting provider and one of the oldest ones. The services they offer are shared hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated hosting and colocation hosting. Shared hosting is the most affordable one and the most popular choice for creating websites. Their shared hosting plans includes free domain name and tons of features including control panel (their own) which is pretty good. With the control panel you will have overall good management of hosting settings. You can setup sites, users, databases, access billing, manage FTP, manage pretty much anything related to your website. All of that under $9 monthly! I really like their one-click installer which is quite powerful and supports many scripts (wordpress blog software, joomla content management system, drupal cms, phpbb forums, shopping carts and lots of others). What is also good is their update system that automatically updates your software as soon as is available for download. On single account unlimited domains may be hosted, with unlimited bandwidth and data transfer. When you outgrow shared hosting you may upgrade your plan to VPS hosting which gives you guaranteed CPU and RAM. For popular sites VPS or dedicated hosting is a must because shared hosting environment is limited in terms of CPU and Memory. From scripts they support PHP, Perly, Python, CGI, Ruby on Rails (ROR). From databases MySQL is supported
