Claim DreamHostOVERVIEW
DreamHost is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, IANA registrar ID 431, based in United States, operating since 1997 (Los Angeles). Accreditation means it is authorised to register domains directly in gTLD registries rather than reselling through another registrar.
The accreditation is held through the legal entity DreamHost, LLC, which is how the company appears in ICANN and RDAP records.
This profile is unclaimed, so everything shown is drawn from the IANA registry and public records rather than from the company itself. The Disclosure section below tracks 17 owner facts, from .com renewal price to transfer-out fees, each marked Not disclosed until the registrar verifies and answers.
WHAT IT DOES
- Domain registration with free WHOIS privacy
- Managed and shared WordPress hosting
- Cloud and VPS hosting

BEST FOR

Official records come from IANA and ICANN source data. Owner-declared facts are published by the verified profile owner and are not independently audited. Disclosure is free and does not affect directory placement.
0 of 17 owner facts disclosed
DreamHost does not have a published DRI yet. Scores only publish once a profile clears the evidence floor, so no registrar gets a number HostList cannot stand behind. Still needed:
- Verify ownership of this profile
- Disclose at least 4 facts (0/4 so far)
- Link a review presence (25+ Trustpilot or 10+ G2 reviews)
Four equal-weight components, 25 points each. Built from verified ownership, third-party reviews, disclosure coverage, and data recency. No paid influence.

DREAMHOST FAQ
Is DreamHost ICANN-accredited?
Yes. DreamHost, LLC is ICANN-accredited and operates as both registrar and hosting provider from the United States.
HostList ranks registrars and hosts by HRI and profile completeness, not by advertising spend. HostList does not run affiliate links; outbound links go to the provider’s own site. Labeled sponsor banners, when offered, never change HRI, directory order, or spotlight selection. ICANN accreditation data is sourced from official IANA and ICANN directories.
