Pre-payments

 

Overview

This article describes the process to make a pre-payment to your DreamHost account.

The pre-payment you submit remains on your account as a positive credit balance until a charge/service becomes due. The pre-payment credit is applied automatically to your account's next charge, and it cannot be reserved for a specific charge/service.

How to make a pre-payment

Payments must be made through your DreamHost panel, which offers a secure way to transmit payment data.

To make a pre-payment, navigate to the Manage Payments page.

Available payment options

You can use various payment options to make a pre-payment, including:

  • Credit/Debit Card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club)
  • PayPal
  • Electronic Check / ACH
  • Rewards Credit

    There is a one-week hold on an Electronic Check / ACH before it can be used to make a payment.

See this article to learn more about how to how to make a payment using one of these options.

What happens after I make a pre-payment?

Once you make a pre-payment using any of the above payment options, your account shows a positive balance on the Manage Payments page with the amount you paid.

The DreamHost charge appears as DreamHost dh-fee.com on your bank statement.
