*πŸ“œ Plan description

This variant mirrors two 960 GB SSDs for almost a terabyte of fault-tolerant storage while retaining the same six-core processor, 16 GB RAM, unlimited bandwidth and 100 % SLA. Aimed at photographers, podcast networks and SaaS databases that hammer disk I/O, it inherits root access, daily snapshots, DDoS shielding and instant RAM or disk upgrades via hot-swap bays. Annual billing trims roughly 15 % and free migrations move cPanel or Plesk accounts with zero downtime.

All DreamHost machines ship with IPv4 + IPv6, Ubuntu LTS, OPcache, automatic kernel patching and 24Γ—7 hardware monitoring inside SSAE-16 audited US facilities, underscoring the provider’s commitment to open-source freedom and 100 % uptime.
