dreampress by dreamhost - any good?
-
Wanted to see if anyone has their website hosted by DreamHost and paid the extra for the "DreamPress" option with built-in caching? It doesn't come cheap at $16.95/month.... Did it make a noticeable speed difference to your website?
@arminunruh Do you have any experience with the built-in caching with DreamPress? Would you recommend this?

hey so i wouldn't recommend it, because the normal hosting package works with wordpress too - as almost any hosting does nowadays.
https://www.dreamhost.com/features/wordpress-caching/
here they say: "Advanced Multi-Layer Technology
We’ve engineered several layers of caching that simply isn’t possible with a plugin-only approach. We apply caching to both your website and the hosting environment to optimize page speeds across the entire stack."Thats the only info given and its a little vague, i would like to know what technology they use here
caching can be done using a wordpress plugin,
sure if they had redis installed maybe thats what they do idk:
https://kinsta.com/docs/redis-cache/maybe its better to buy hosting from a webhoster in your country. the server will be in your country. the visitors of your website may be in your country as well, so the server will respond a little faster because its closer to you
additionally you can follow this guide:

I'm currently on DreamHost's Shared/Unlimited plan for $8.95/month: https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/shared/#comparison-plans
GreenGeek's premium plan is also $8.95/month: https://www.greengeeks.com/wordpress-hosting#section-pricing
Would I notice a speed difference changing to GreenGeeks?
Do you have a host/plan that you would recommend to provide the fastest loading wesbite?

i think i would first try this:
https://laytheme.com/documentation/speeding-up-your-website.htmland then maybe get a webhost thats in your country
Would I notice a speed difference changing to GreenGeeks?
i think if you would use a caching plugin and if that makes your website faster you could try this first
do you have a link to your website?
which country do u live in?
