Unique IPv4 and IPv6	Get an IPv4 address and future-proof your account with an unlimited number of free IPv6 addresses.
Unlimited SFTP Users	Grant access to the people you trust with secure logins to your data.
PHP8/Perl/Python	Ah yes, the three Ps. Build something great.

Crontab Access	Automate even the most obnoxious command-line tasks with access to Cron, a time-based job scheduler.
Subversion Repository (SVN)	Working in teams on the same web app or web site means you’ll step on each other’s toes from time to time. SVN keeps it all straight and minimizes conflicts.
Access to Raw Log Files	If the devil told you he wasn’t evil, would you trust him? You’ll be able to run your site’s raw log files through your log analyzer of choice and - bonus - you won’t sacrifice website load times due to embedded external trackers.

Frequently Asked Questions

: VPS is short for virtual private server and is also known as a virtual server. VPS Hosting is a hosting solution for websites and applications, where server resources are isolated for individual users. VPS users experience more consistent performance, which translates to more responsive and faster websites.
: A virtual server and a dedicated server differ by the number of users that possess resources on a physical server. With a virtual private server, some of the resources are isolated for individual users, but there are multiple users on the same physical server. With a dedicated server, a single user has access to all of the resources of a physical server.
Learn More
: Our Managed Virtual Servers do not offer root access. However, many of our customers who require full control use our cloud servers, which have root level access.
Learn More
: The difference between shared and VPS hosting comes down to three things: resources, price, and performance.
Resources — Plain and simple, shared hosting is sharing a server with other websites, where VPS hosting provides server resources dedicated to you.
Pricing — Shared hosting is generally cheaper because resources are shared with more users. Virtual Servers on the other hand, generally have fewer websites, but are more expensive.
Performance — The reason most people choose VPS over shared is because of performance. Their website or application has heavy resource demands, or they have a higher expectation of performance. VPS powered websites, when managed correctly (like we do here at DreamHost), are much faster and more responsive.

: No, we do not have Windows VPS hosting options. Our VPS solution uses Linux.
