Navigate Success with Website Overview

Building and maintaining a website involves many challenges, from managing DNS and SSL certificates to creating content and keeping your website secure. Every aspect plays a crucial role in building a successful online presence.

With that in mind, we’re excited to announce the new “Manage Websites” summary view on the DreamHost account control panel, now available to all of our hosting customers. This freshly redesigned DreamHost account overview provides a bird’s-eye view of your websites’ overall health, allowing you to set their purpose, monitor your domain registration and DNS status, quickly access email addresses, and more. You’ll also receive timely alerts when we detect issues, helping you quickly address them and implement solutions. It’s also now easier than ever to get started adding content or installing WordPress, as we’ve streamlined the process of building and expanding your online presence.

Complete list of features:

  • Personalized dashboard, with suggestions tailored to your sites’ unique needs
  • You can define a website’s purpose, which will enable views and suggestions to help you achieve your website goals.
  • Your hosting plan(s), renewal dates, and total storage used (if applicable) are more clearly visible.
  • A Registration tile will show your domains’ renewal status, including when they are due for renewal or if they have expired.
  • A DNS tile indicates whether a domain’s DNS records have fully or partially propagated successfully.
  • A Content tile checks if your websites have any content. If not, it provides quick links to install WordPress, upload files, or migrate data from an existing website.
  • An Email tile displays the number of email addresses associated with your domains and indicates whether Google Workspace is active.
  • A Security tile shows the SSL and Firewall status and provides DreamShield alerts if a domain has an active DreamShield plan.​
