DreamHost Users now to use Gmail

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Web hosting provider DreamHost has recently given its customers the rather unusual advice of choosing Google’s Gmail (mail.google.com) over its own email service, telling them that “it’s something Google…can do better.”

DreamHost currently hosts more than 700k websites and is suggesting that all of their customers switch to use Gmail for their email needs instead of DreamHosts’ mail servers. DreamHost will continue to support its existing email servers but for new setups and current customers, they are encourage to make the switch. More than half of their support requests and tickets dealt with email, which is part of why this change is being made.
