DreamHost pricing and plans

NVMe VPS with unmetered bandwidth, all hosted in Ashburn, Virginia

DreamHost VPS plans run on AMD EPYC with NVMe storage and unmetered bandwidth, all from its Ashburn, Virginia datacentre. The site advertises a lower price for the first three months; this index lists the regular monthly price that applies after that, and notes the introductory rate on each plan.

We earn nothing from DreamHost today. It has an affiliate programme we have not joined; if that changes this note and the link labels will change.

Plans and derived unit cost

The final two columns are computed from the monthly price, which is how you spot the tier where a provider stops being good value.

All figures are the providers' own published list prices in USD, on-demand monthly. The index was last refreshed 2026-10-14, and every row shows the date its own price was read. Nothing here is live or negotiated pricing. Where a provider bills a public IPv4 address on top, it is added to the monthly price, the ranking and every cost per vCPU or per GB, and the row shows the parts: the server, any disk priced apart, and the IPv4 charge. Some prices exclude VAT or need a commitment; the plan notes say which. Check the provider's pricing page before you commit.
