Dreamhost & Open Source Applications

Dreamhost for the past several years has been one of the best destinations for hosting PHP open source applications. Content management systems like Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla are super easy to manage and host with Dreamhost and you could argue that this is why Dreamhost has grown so much over the past 3 years.

Dreamhost One-Click Open Source Installs

Dreamhost has made it easy for their customers by providing “one-click” installs of various popular open source web applications. As of this date these include the following:

These simple one-click installs make it super easy and super fast for getting your new site up and running. Literally you will be spending no more than 10 minutes to get one of these applications up and running and on your way.

Unlimited MySQL Databases = Unlimited Open Source Apps!

Because Dreamhost gives you unlimited MySQL databases with your account, and because all of these mentioned applications require MySQL databases to run, you are able to run and manage an unlimited amount of sites powered by these applications on your Dreamhost account.

Use your Dreamhost account to run a few Wordpress blogs. How about a few shopping cart's powered by ZenCart? How about a few Joomla powered websites? There's no limit to how many of these open source powered websites you want to manage on your Dreamhost server. An unlimited amount for only $8.95/month.
