50% off Your First Invoice @ DreamIT Host

DREAM

Was interested in a hosting provider.

Noticed a "trend" in their coupon codes on OzB and despite being marked as "expired" it still worked!

This is my first experience with Dream IT but previous deals have positive comments on their services.

    The servers are NVMe drives and are ~100x faster than mechanical drives (slow) or SATA SSD's (~10x faster).

    This is a discount price for fast hosting with local hosting. We've just moved websites and it's lightning fast compared to previously.

    Will the improved speed make much of a difference to the website rankings?
    It's not clear if Google makes a clear distinction between fast servers and fast response?
    A lot of software measures the speed of the servers rather than the response time… which may penalise slow servers even if the website responds quickly?
    We'll be watching our website ranking with interest.

    BTW: SSL is $50/yr extra for the basic package. However that still adds up to just under $100 for the whole package… and that's still excellent value for fast servers.
    Any webpage that isn't requesting sensitive information doesn't need SSL:
    Customers may not realise that you have SSL for purchases but not on general pages… so it's probably better to have SSL to give them peace of mind?

    The servers used are in Melbourne… which is ideal if you're in Melbourne.
    DreamIT have servers elsewhere too… and appear to try to match your location to the nearest servers.

    The sales and support are Australian… which means no more struggling with funny accents, poor phone lines, noisy call centres, time differences and staff that have no idea what they're doing.
    Everything was done with one point of contact and very quickly… which means the staff know what they are doing and they have enough staff to cover calls.

    The website migration was virtually seamless. They migrated the whole site and the Cpanel data so you don't lose your history during the move. Even my favourite app Webalizer (helps track website visits) was part of the CPanel. We detected no downtime during the move which is ideal.

    There was a small hiccup where we paid for two hosting packages when trying to move between monthly and yearly billing but they refunded the mistake within hours of notifying them of the problem. Swift response… ideal!

    N.B. To take full advantage of the 40% discount you need to sign up for a whole year… as the discount is only applied to the first invoice. If you only sign up for a month you'll only save 40% on the first month.

    :-)
