DREAMHOST CELEBRATES FIFTH BIRTHDAY WITH ICANN ACCREDITATION AND LAUNCH OF NEW WEBSITE

September 23, 2002

Los Angeles - DreamHost today marked the commencement of its sixth and strongest year in business, setting a rare precedent in the industry for delivering full-featured reliable hosting services, competitive pricing, and consistently high customer satisfaction ratings throughout the history of its business.

The day was marked by a debut of the company's new website at |092302 http://www.dreamhost.com/ as well as an announcement that DreamHost had become an ICANN-accredited domain registrar.

"The past five years have taught us what it takes to last in this industry, and we've got no plans of slowing down," said Josh Jones, CEO, DreamHost. "We're extremely happy to provide ICANN-level domain registration services to our customers. Few web hosts can say that they 'do it all,' but this certification ensures that DreamHost will become a one-stop-shop for consumers and businesses looking to do business with a single service."

The company's new website now advertises shared web hosting, dedicated hosting, web site management tools, and domain registration services all tied together neatly under the 'DreamHost.com' moniker. A new design improves readability and presents information in a format more easily understood and navigated. DreamHost has also increased the disk space and bandwidth allotments of all existing and new customers, adding even more value to the service.

"Bringing unique new features to our customers on a regular basis is what has gotten us this far," said Dallas Bethune, DreamHost's Technology Director. "Introducing support for individual Jabber servers as a standard feature on all of our hosting accounts was something that - even to this day - nobody else in the industry has done. Uniqueness like this is what sets us apart from the Verios of the world."

DreamHost enters its sixth year of business on the tails of its highest sales year since its inception in 1997.
