If you’re trying to decide between Greengeeks and Dreamhost as your web hosting company, here are some considerations to keep in mind. GreenGeeks and DreamHost are two well-established web hosting companies that offer a variety of services including an all-inclusive shared hosting plan.

GreenGeeks provides cPanel hosting, whereas DreamHost uses their own text based interface—which I’ve never been a big fan of. So GreenGeeks already has an advantage in our opinion. While you can host multiple websites with DreamHost, I’ve found it easier to work within GreenGeeks account interfaces. Cost-wise, GreenGeeks is also less expensive than DreamHost.

When it comes to the features included with their web hosting plans, there are some similarities such as SSDs, unlimited storage and email, and WordPress hosting. GreenGeeks provides automatic data backup which we prefer to the backup feature at DreamHost. On the other hand, DreamHost does offer free Let’s Encrypt SSL. With GreenGeeks, you’ll need to pay for SSL certificates.

I’ve always found the customer support at both GreenGeeks and DreamHost to be helpful and able to answer questions and resolve any issues necessary. Where GreenGeeks gets the edge is in response time. While DreamHost has improved their live chat support response times, the wait periods are definitely longer. GreenGeeks has always been one of the fastest to respond to support requests in our testing. And, they have always been able to quickly assist me.
