When traditional web hosting won't cut it and dedicated servers won't scale fast enough, Virtual Private Servers from DreamHost are an ideal solution. Available in both specialized MySQL and general-use configurations.
Virtual Private Servers are a premium hosting solution designed from the ground-up to give you ultimate control over just how many server resources you use - and just how much you pay for them. We've harnessed the power of Linux-VServer to give you your own "private server", thereby protecting your CPU and RAM from all other users for the ultimate in stability.
Absolutely! You are not limited to running just one virtual private server and are welcome to run as many instances as your requirements demand. You can add or delete VPS services from your account as the need arises. Need another web server? Done. Want to set up a low-resource VPS just to run a chat server? No problem. New services are provisioned within seconds so you're never kept waiting.
We also offer a highly-tuned VPS service for the unique demands of MySQL databases. Add a MySQL VPS service to your DreamHost account for supremely efficient, reliable database service. (We'll even take 20% off if you get one of each!)
Everything else you'll love about DreamHost stays the same: you get all the same features available from the same web panel, the same unlimited amounts of bandwidth and disk, the same load-balanced email, and the same world-class home-grown support team!
