Last verified 2026-09-03. https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/shared/ (official page; live page lists only the Launch shared tier, whose $2.89 intro / $10.99 renewal matched on-page on 2026-06-13). Intro price applies to the first year. Growth and Scale tiers were dropped during re-verification because they did not appear on the live page. Re-verified 2026-09-03 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged. The page this record cites as its source (https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/shared/) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. Its second recorded capture of the same figures — websitebuilderexpert.com — still answers, and the figure stands as last read. Cross-checked against websitebuilderexpert.com.

DreamHost currently holds a gold deskmark here — Rank 1 of 7 · Web Hosting. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if DreamHost moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
