The DreamHost Site of the Month (DHSOTM) contest started in 1998 to honor the best sites among the ones they host.

Each month, one DreamHost customer gets their site anointed the Site of the Month; the winner being the site with the highest average vote with at least 10 votes when the newsletter is written. The winner gets mentioned in the newsletter, has their DHSOTM listing in bold, and can display this icon on their site for bragging rights:

Submitting your site in the contest is easy. First log into the DH web panel, and then under the “Home” menu click on DHSOTM. You will see a list of sites currently entered into the contest. To submit your own site, first vote & comment on at least 10 other entries, then click on “Enter Your Site/Check Your Votes” button. Just fill out a short form describing your site and you are done.
