DreamHost's network consists of Debian GNU/Linux-based servers for customers running on F5 Networks Big IP-based servers. Customers have access to a control panel that includes integrated billing and support ticket systems. The majority of hosted domains exist within a shared hosting environment, with a small percentage of customers on dedicated servers. Telephone-based support is not provided, instead DreamHost has support via IRC and email. DreamHost's staff also contribute to an official blog and a wiki.

On January 15, 2008, DreamHost accidentally billed some users for an extra year's worth of services, reported to be US$7.6M.
