How To Share Access To Your Domain On DreamHost

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Short Answer


In DreamHost navigate to Billing & Account→ Account Access, click Grant Privileges to a New Person, enter [email protected] (Name: Rebolt), choose DNS privileges for your domain, then Set Privileges. DreamHost will email the new user to complete access.


Overview


Granting Rebolt access in DreamHost lets us safely update DNS (A/CNAME) so your domain points to your new Rebolt website. Your old site isn’t deleted; after DNS updates, it simply won’t use your domain.


Steps: Grant Rebolt Privileges


  1. Log in to your DreamHost panel and navigate to Account Access.

  2. Click Grant Privileges to a New Person.

  3. Enter the invite details:

  4. Select the additional privileges to grant (see recommendation below).

  5. Click Set Privileges to save.

What happens next: DreamHost sends a confirmation email to the new user, prompting a password setup/confirmation so we can access the account.


Recommended Privileges


  • Grant access that includes DNS management for the specific domain/zone we’re launching.

  • Keep access minimal (DNS-only or equivalent).

  • Only grant broader roles (e.g., hosting, billing) if you want help beyond DNS.

We use access solely to configure DNS and verify your launch.


What We’ll Do With Access


  • Update A and/or CNAME records so your domain points to your Rebolt website.

  • Verify propagation and confirm the site is live at your brand URL.


Troubleshooting


  • Invite email not received? Re-send from Account Access and have us check spam.

  • Wrong privileges? Edit the user under Account Access to add DNS for the correct domain.

  • Can’t find Account Access? Use the DreamHost panel search for “Account Access”.
