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 400,000 domain names (18th-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.

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.
