DreamPress is fully managed so you can focus on your content and we’ll worry about the rest.

From the folks at DreamHost comes DreamPress – a managed WordPress hosting solution focused on security, speed, and quality support. It’s positioned as a fully managed upgrade from DreamPress’ basic shared hosting plan. With managed plans starting at $16.95 per month, it’s certainly not a budget provider, though it could be ideal for individual site owners and small companies. You get a lot of functionality for the price, although DreamPress does lack support for multiple sites and automatic backups.

Key Features:

• No bandwidth or visitor limits.
• Automatic WordPress core updates.
• 24/7 expert support.
• Multiple layers of caching to ensure site speed.
• Pre-installed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate.

For someone who already uses DreamHost’s shared plan, upgrading to DreamPress’ managed hosting package is logical and easy. The pre-installed SSL certificate will also appeal to current or would-be e-commerce site owners, as it provides a hassle-free solution to implementing a crucial customer security step. However, anyone seeking an easy solution for managing multiple sites may want to look elsewhere.
