WordPress hosting.
People behind it.

WordPress is free, open-source software for building websites. You can use it for a business site, portfolio, blog, or online store. Themes control the design; plugins add features such as contact forms, booking, or a shop.

You own your content and can move your site to another host. You also have access to a large community of developers and learning resources. You will still need hosting and a domain, and some themes or plugins cost extra.

DreamHost has hosted websites since 1997, and our team includes WordPress contributors. Our plans combine servers configured for WordPress with daily backups, free SSL certificates, a control panel, and access to in-house support.

You can start with affordable hosting and move to managed options as your needs change. Compare each plan’s site, storage, and traffic limits to your project before buying.

Managed hosting means your provider takes on more of the technical work behind your WordPress site. That includes maintaining a hosting environment built for the platform, with tools for performance, updates, and backups.

You still control your content, design, and plugins. Managed hosting does not replace all site maintenance or include every custom development task. It gives you more hosting tools and expert help so you can spend more time on your business.

Choose based on how your site supports your business and how much of the technical work you want to handle. Web Hosting suits a budget-conscious start and includes the essentials to run WordPress.

Managed hosting is worth considering when you regularly publish, test new features, or depend on your site for business. DreamPress bundles staging, a CDN, and on-demand backups rather than leaving you to assemble those tools separately. Both options include support.

Yes. Use our free automated migration plugin, or use the professional migration included with DreamPress. Check your migrated site before pointing your domain to the new host. Timing depends on your site and the method you choose.

Yes. Our in-house support team can help with hosting questions. Chat may start with AI, and you can ask for a person. Existing customers can open chat or send a support request through the DreamHost panel. Custom design, development, and ongoing site management may need a separate service.

Choose a hosting plan and a domain name. DreamPress comes with WordPress pre-installed. With WordPress Hosting, select installation during signup or install it later from your panel.

Next, choose a theme, add your pages and content, and check your site on mobile before you launch. Start with the pages your visitors need most: what you do, who you are, and how to contact you.

For a new blog or small business site, WordPress Hosting is an affordable starting point.Launch, Growth, and Scale offer different site, storage, and traffic allowances. Choose for what you need today, with enough room for your next step.

Choose DreamPress if you want managed performance, a separate staging site for testing, on-demand backups, and an included content delivery network. If you manage several projects and need isolated server resources, also compare Managed VPS Hosting.

For a large or unusual project, our team can help you consider dedicated, cloud, or custom hosting.
