Looking for a DreamHost review on the shared servers? The DreamHost servers that are shared are perfect as long as your website is not attracting a lot of attention. You are only able to use 25 percent of the server, since there are three other people on there with you, so if you are looking for a lot of server-side programming or lots of traffic then you will struggle.

It makes DreamHost shared servers perfect for personal websites and the smaller businesses that are just after local traffic. It is definitely not suitable for e-commerce as you cannot support a high quality shopping cart with PHP programming.

You can have your own IP address, even while on a shared server, with the introduction of Virtual Private Servers. This means that you can capture the attention of any country without risking being blocked because of someone else on your IP address but you do have to remember that you are still on a shared server and will still have limitations.
