The Official DreamHost Blog!

Check out our new toy.

What the… Introducing the DREAMHOST TRADE SHOW BOOTH. Note the ample room for strolling, stretching, high-fiving, and macramé. We’re not actually going to a trade show. And hosting conferences still aren’t for us. But we do need to hire people. Badly. Quickly. We have a soft spot in our hearts for students of [...]

Donations for January

November through January we solicited donations from our customers for a worthy organization: Therapeutic Living Centers for the Blind. TLC is a community of learners and teachers who have come together to create a supportive and encouraging environment for those with developmental disabilities and blindness. More than a facility, TLC represents a family working [...]

The Happy DreamHost Apple-A-Day Tablet Contest!

This day has been a long time in the coming. A long time. A long long time. A loooooooooooooooooooong long time. A looooooooooooooooooong looooooooooooooooooong loooooooooooooooong time! A really long time. In fact, at this point I’m starting to get a little tired of hearing about it. Actually, I’ve been tired of hearing about it ever since day [...]

Happy New Year-Zealand!

Just like Dallas did, I’d like to welcome everybody to the new year too… Zealand-style! Yup, all FOUR DreamHost honchos – and Prince William – are yukking it up this week in Wellington for a freaking linux conference. What are we, a bunch of neckbeards?!

We love to play with all the newest Internet toys and provide them [...]

A Brief Look Back

Introducing… Chartbeat!

I’m a big fan of holiday advent calendars where you open up one of the doors each day in December and get some sort of little prize as you count down the days to your favorite winter-time holiday. In fact, last year I asked my wife to get me one… and she did! She filled [...]

Holiday Shopping

For some of you, it’s that time of the year again.. holiday shopping! I say some of you not because some of you are not Christian, Jewish, African, or employed, but because some of you are not early holiday shoppers. For those of us already finished with our seasonal purchases, it’s that time of the year again.. [...]

And the winners are…

We held a t-shirt design contest not too long ago and the response was overwhelming. After wading through hundreds of entries we’ve finally narrowed down the winners. We assigned each entry a year representative of its style – one for each year we’ve been in business. Every DreamHost employee was then given a chance [...]
