Can I have a demo account to see how your CPanel works?

Thanks,

I have never known Dreamhost to provide demo accounts, though you could certainly ask via the contact form at http://dreamhost.com/contact.cgi.

Dreamhost offers a 97 day money-back guarantee, which ought to be long enough for *anyone* to evaluate, or "check out" the way the Control Panel, or other aspects of DH hosting works.

Firstly, DreamHost do not use cPanel, they use a 'home-grown' panel of their own making. I am not even sure the DreamHost panel has a name, except for 'Web Admin Panel' smile

You can create a test panel account using the link below. However, I don't think you can actually do too much without a hosting plan or a domain or two under the account.

I find the DreamHost panel to be far superior to cPanel. Once you have some hosting and a few domains under the account you will really appreciate the functionality provided.

If you do decide to purchase a hosting plan, I think you can add it to the test account via the panel, without creating a new account.

You are welcome :)

Yes you can. I believe the default for a newly created mailbox is 50MB, but you can increase this to whatever you wish, up to the storage limits of your hosting plan.
