You say it’s your birthday?

Happy 8th Birthday to DreamHost!

It’s our birthday too!

Google turns 7 today, we turn 8!

Too bad we didn’t think of making yet another search engine back in 1997. Oh well, we’re not complaining toooo loudly.

To celebrate we’ve made a bunch of changes:

* Unlimited domains and sub-domains on all hosting plans!
* Domain registrations are now $9.95/year (33% off!)
* If you have multiple plans with us the disk/bandwidth is now shared among all domains (no more breaking it down by plan)!
* The panel’s been re-organized a fair bit, integrating a lot of disjointed tabs into what we hope is a much easier to use format!
* For the first 888 new signups, you can get 80% off the first year of any 1-2 year plan by using the promo code “888″ when signing up!

Back to pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey!

    Happy Birthday Dreamhost! I have been with you guys for a little over a year and I couldn’t be happier. When I was shopping, I was looking for a good deal. Never did I ever think I’d end up with over 5 gigs of storage for under $10/month. Never did I think I’d be able to host unlimited domains. I just wanted to thank you guys for keeping the bar so high. I rely on my site, and I think it’s in the best of hands. Thanks and Congradulations!

    Josh, really like the new panel especially the domains area. What’s really cool is when you add a domain.

    CPANEL = OWNED!

    Quick question about the domains, is the price just for the birthday or is it here to stay?

    [...] Ho appena scoperto che DreamHost ha compiuto ieri 8 anni e mette a disposizione un codice promozionale per ottenere uno sconto sui loro pacchetti di hosting. Quasi 5.000 MB di spazio su disco, 120 GB di traffico al mese più la registrazione di un dominio costano, pagando in anticipo due anni, 114 USD, che sono circa 5 euro al mese. Ovviamente gli sconti sono maggiori sui pacchetti più “avanzati”. Basta collegarsi al sito, scegliere l’offerta più adatta alle proprie esigenze, sottoscriverla e nel riepilogo del prezzo, inserire 888 come “Optional Promo Code” e cliccare su Update. Vedrete subito il prezzo scontato. [...]

    “If you have multiple plans with us the disk/bandwidth is now shared among all domains (no more breaking it down by plan)!”

    Does that mean I can sign up for two Crazy Domain Insane plans, get 240 GB/mo for the price of a Sweet Dreams plan, and not have to worry about anything?

    Set up a great site for almost nothing

    Right now (as of end of September 2005), Yahoo Domains sell domain names for $2.99 a year if you buy five years. That’s $14.95 for a domain for 5 years. Wow. Next, head over to Dreamhost, and subscribe to one…

    I really appreciate the change in the “Manage domains” page, it makes it infinitely easier to use! Also, “Unlimited domains and sub-domains on all hosting plans” and “Domain registrations are now $9.95″? And I thought the Dreamhost plans couldn’t get any better…

    Dreamhost cumple 8 años

    Una de las primeras cosas que un webmaster ha de plantearse es la de seleccionar entre los miles de planes de hosting y miles de diferentes empresas que existen.

    Thanks for the deal, I look forward to staying with you for a long time. I had this deal pointed out to me from a good source. Nick Starr at nickstarr.com

    I had been just venting my frustration for my current host.

    Thanks DreamHost.

    Happy birthday!
    Thanks so much for the upgrade, I felt a bit devious making subdomains and then mirroring them on real domains I owned with my CDI plan — it seemed like someone had overlooked something.

    Now I feel better!

    [...] So, my little site has found a new home. Everything went very smooth; I placed an order, payed and 30 minutes later I was pretty much up and running! Dreamhost had installed my account, sent me my username and passwords, and I was now busy installing WordPress – this after merely 45 minutes! And guess what? Dreamhost has just turned 8 and this they celebrate with 80% off on new signups! It didn’t just went very smooth, I payed almost nothing for it as well. Happy birthday, by the way Dreamhost! You have hosted my site for solely a couple of hours, but you rock already! [...]

    Unlimited Domain and Subdomain for Dream Host’s Customer

    Today’s morning I saw Dream Host’s announcement dated 27 September that they let their customer use as many as possible domain and subdomain hosted with their account there. Great Dream Host, now I do not need to count …

    [...] La gente de Dreamhost acaba de dejarme helado: ahora brindan dominios y subdominios ilimitados con todos sus planes!!! Pensar que yo pedía que agregaron dos o tres dominios más…. Y están también haciendo una promoción de descuento para los primeros 888 clientes nuevos, a los que le descuentan el 80% del valor del primer año de hosting. Si andaban en búsqueda de hosting, yo que ustedes lo chequearía. Estaba un poco molesto con ellos por los problemas que tuvieron tras los apagones en Los Angeles, pero esto me reconcilia definitivamente . [...]

    Been with Dreamhost for over 7 years.

    Their service was a little dodgy in about years 3 and 4, but ever since its been great.

    Happy birthday guys! I signed up and I was lucky enough to be among the first 888 to use the special birthday code. I’ll migrate my site this weekend. If your service turns out to rock as hard as they say I might do more business with Dreamhost.

    [...] Dreamhost is running an 8th anniversary special now. The first 888 new sign-ups for prepaid one or two-year plans can get 80% off their first year of hosting — and the plan is already incredibly cheap. My plan works out to $4.77 per month for the next two years. That’s $7.23 per month cheaper than my previous TextDrive plan, and I get much more bang for the buck. Dreamhost plans come with some amazing goodies, including one-click WordPress install, unlimited domains, one free domain registration, ample server space and bandwidth and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff. Just don’t forget to enter code 888 when you sign up or you’re screwed! [...]

    Happy Birthday Dreamhost. I have been dreamhost for less than a year, but am so much in love with the service and the dynamics. It was sheer serendipity that made me land at dreamhost, and I am happy to have found it. For someone who is such a great host, I am sure to stick around for years to come :-). Keep Rocking!!
