Overview
The following explains how to contact DreamHost support via email. This is the preferred method as it allows support to respond to requests not available with other methods (Live Chat and Callbacks) while also being able to provide links, examples, and other assistance in diagnosing an issue you're experiencing.
DreamHost aims to answer support requests via email within two hours. If a technician is not immediately available, please be patient, as support will respond as soon as possible.
