How to add DreamHost to your UpdraftPlus account settings

When backing up your WordPress website with UpdraftPlus, we have given users multiple options to backup your site using many of the top remote storage options, including Google Drive, Amazon S3 and DropBox.

One of the additional storage options UpdraftPlus offers is DreamHost – the popular cloud service platform from DreamObjects. DreamHost offers a 30 day free trial account for users who want to experiment with the platform before purchasing. After this trial period, DreamHost offers the following competitive pre-paid pricing plan.

Some users have chosen to use DreamHost as their cloud storage option over other services, such as Google or Amazon, due to DreamHost’s following features.

• Infinitely scalable
• Allows you to start small and grow
• Customizable metadata
• Inexpensive option
