DreamHost is a Los Angeles-based web hosting provider and domain name registrar. It is the web hosting branch of New Dream Network, LLC, founded in April 1996 by four undergraduate students at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California, and now hosts over 450,000 domain names (19th-ranked web host in the world) on a network of Linux-based servers.

Registrar

DreamHost is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar. It used to operate the .la country code top-level domain, the country code for Laos which is being marketed as a domain for Los Angeles. It stopped operating it in February 2006 because it reportedly received very few customers.

Control Panel

DreamHost has deployed a proprietary control panel, devised by their own programmers. It gives access to most services provided by DreamHost, including 1-click setup of blogs and wikis using software installed on their servers, and an integrated billing system. A new, modern version of the panel was deployed on March 1, 2007.

Non-censorship policy

DreamHost does not censor the content of sites hosted there, unless it is actually illegal (under the laws of the United States, where they are located) or involved in activity such as spamming that violates DreamHost's Acceptable Use Policy.
