DreamHost Named to Orange County Register's List of Top 10 Workplaces

Employee Votes Put Tech Firm Over the Edge for Third Year Running

BREA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/07/12 -- DreamHost, a global cloud and web hosting company, today announced its naming to the Orange County Register's list of Top 10 Workplaces within Orange County, California, for the third consecutive year.

The Orange County Register, in coordination with Workplace Dynamics, conducted anonymous surveys of thousands of employees across hundreds of companies of all sizes throughout Orange County. DreamHost's high ranking on the list was a direct result of independently-obtained employee feedback and a validation of the company's commitment to providing a democratic and inclusive workplace.

"We've experienced exciting growth at DreamHost this year and made some big changes to how we do business and what we're able to offer our customers," said Brett Dunst, VP of Marketing and Corporate Communications. "Central to it all was a strong desire to retain our unique company culture and stick to our startup roots. Being 'irreverent and fun' isn't just a good idea -- it's one of DreamHost's core values. The fact that we're having this conversation in matching gorilla suits is proof that we've succeeded." Added Dunst, "Oh, also: the list. We made it onto the Top Workplaces list. That's proof, too."

Complete results of the workplace surveys were published in the Top Workplaces 2012 supplement of the December 7, 2012 edition of the Orange County Register.
