Support
Support with DreamHost is provided via their user control panel. You log into your account and submit a message to them. They try to respond within 24 hours. So far they have met that time when we have sent them support questions from within our account. However they are lacking a quality phone support system, as well as an online chat option.
Down Time
DreamHost is one of the only companies that offer a 100% uptime guarantee. Here is an exact explanation from them on the guarantee:
“If your web site, databases, email, FTP, SSH or webmail is unusable as a result of a failure in our systems and for reasons other than previously announced scheduled maintenance, coding or configuration errors on your part, we’ll credit your next invoice with 1 day hosting free for each 1 hour (or fraction thereof) of service interruption; up to 10% of your next pre-paid hosting renewal fee.”
Money Back Guarantee
DreamHost also has another unique guarantee on their hands. They offer a 97 day money back guarantee. That is substantially longer than other hosts that we have found. It is over double the guarantee of HostGator, although not as long as the anytime guarantee by Bluehost and Ipage
