What changed, in plain language

DreamHost updated its Terms of Service date and replaced the linked "Unlimited Policy" with a new "Resource Allocation Policy." No wording inside the Terms of Service itself changed, but the swapped policy link points to a different rulebook that governs how much server capacity you get — and that document isn't included here, so its actual terms can't be checked from this change alone.

Changes that may affect you

The policy governing your service limits was swapped for a new oneMINOR
OTHER

The rulebook covering how much storage, bandwidth, and server power your plan gets has been replaced. The old one was called the "Unlimited Policy"; the new one is the "Resource Allocation Policy." That name change hints that limits may be described differently than before, but the new policy's actual text isn't part of this change, so there's no way to tell from here whether your limits got tighter, looser, or stayed the same. Because it's incorporated into the Terms, you're bound by it either way.

What you can do — Read the new policy at https://www.dreamhost.com/legal/resource-allocation-policy/ and compare it to your plan's advertised limits. If your usage is near any stated cap, contact DreamHost support to confirm what applies to your account.

  2. ± CHANGED"Unlimited Policy" replaced with "Resource Allocation Policy"

    The list of other policies you agree to no longer includes the "Unlimited Policy." In its place is a new "Resource Allocation Policy" at a different web address. This policy is part of your contract, so whatever it says about how much storage, bandwidth, or server power you get now applies to you.
