What is good and what to watch
Good
- 25 sites on the cheapest plan
- Daily automated backups and free SSL on every plan
- Free domain for the first year on yearly and longer terms
- Monthly billing available
- 4.6 on Trustpilot from 8,280 reviews; independent since 1997
Watch out for
- No India data centre; Singapore is the nearest
- Email is a 3-month trial on Web Hosting, then billed
- CDN is a paid add-on (from $9.95 a month) except on DreamPress
- Renewal is about 4x on the 1-year term
- Taking the free starter website waives the money-back refund
Speed for Indian visitors
DreamHost lists four data centres: Ashburn, Hillsboro, Amsterdam and Singapore. Its knowledge base says support can move your services to another data centre on request. Ask for Singapore for an Indian audience. DreamPress includes Bunny CDN; on Web Hosting the CDN is a paid add-on.

After a 1-year term: Launch $10.99, Growth $12.99 and Scale $25.99 a month. After a 4-year term: $7.99, $8.99 and $19.99.
