Features

WordPress has always been a big part of DreamHost’s hosting lineup, and we’re happy to see that they now include pre-installation of WordPress. Jaguar PC provides one-click installation of WordPress via Softaculous in cPanel. While DreamHost’s pre-installation of the software makes things easier, keep in mind that with Jaguar PC you also get the BoldGrid website builder—which makes the process of creating WordPress sites quicker and easier. Also, with Jaguar PC you get a ton of other available web applications in cPanel.

Response time is better at Jaguar PC, while DreamHost is a bit better at issue resolution with their first line support on live chat. With Jaguar PC, we’ve had times where we had to open a support ticket to get an issue resolved. Overall, we would give a slight edge to DreamHost here.

For most websites, we would recommend Jaguar PC over DreamHost. The exception would be for those of you that prefer to use a user-friendly site builder. In those cases, we would opt for DreamHost with their Remixer website builder. For more experienced website owners, Jaguar PC is the winner in this comparison. See our Jaguar PC review ratings below:
