DreamHost has made a name for itself over the years as being a friendly, yet low-cost hosting provider, offering both shared hosting as well as virtual private servers (VPS). DreamHost is also a major backer of the open source OpenStack cloud platform and now offers the DreamCompute cloud server as well.
In a video interview, DreamHost CEO Simon Anderson explains where cloud makes sense in his business, while there is still likely going to be a need and demand of shared hosting for years yet to come.
