Does Dreamhost have a guarantee?
As of this writing, Dreamhost is offering a 97 day money back guarantee (one of the longest I’ve heard of). From Dreamhost’s web site: “If you decide – within the first 97 days of your time with us – that DreamHost isn’t for you, we will gladly close your account and refund any payments you’ve made to us within those first 97 days.” There is, however, an asterisk on this line leading to a footnote which reads “Credit card and Google Checkout payments only. Excludes domain registration fees, bandwidth overage charges, and dedicated server payments.
