Keeping an eye on the number of registered domains that a web host has gives us some great insight on how their business is doing. Watching how these statistics change, is a great way to review how well the web host is meeting the needs of their customers, without asking a large number of people how they like the service of the specific host. In general, if customers are happy they won't be transferring their domain services away from the host and will probably be telling other people, that are looking for a new web host provider, to try out the host they use. While there are many types of effective online advertising and other marketing campaigns, most people would rather hear it straight from someone they know and trust, which product or service is best. In this DreamHost review of active name servers, we found that in the last week DreamHost has added nearly 3,000 new domains to their previous total, jumping from 1,008,723 to 1,011,704.
