WHAT IT COSTS IN YEAR TWO

DreamHost advertises $2.89 and renews at $10.99 — 3.8× — on its Launch plan.

Read from www.dreamhost.com/pricing. “First two years” assumes the advertised term, then the renewal rate. Where a price is not printed we leave it blank rather than estimating one.

PRICING VS VALUE

Read from DreamHost's own pages, never estimated. When a business bills by usage or only by quote, there is no single price to state, so the meter and what makes a bill grow are shown instead.
