Overview
Live Chat is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's also available in Spanish. View the following article for more information:
When contacting support, DreamHost's goal is for you to have as close to 0 wait time as possible - within a few minutes via Live Chat. However, a technician may not be immediately available to respond – please be patient as DreamHost support works to address your issue.
Not all issues can be resolved promptly via chat. If, during your chat, your issue requires further investigation, the technician will instruct you to open a ticket (email) so that support may investigate your issue further.
Requesting sensitive information
DreamHost support cannot provide any sensitive account information via the Live Chat system for security reasons. It can only email requested sensitive information to the address listed as the primary email on your account.
