keep the good words coming, and we will eventually prevail with a knowledgeable honest reliable hosting see more
I wonder who's company will prevail.
your input is appreciated, but read the post, boonex is asking that those who are interested submit a letter of interest, does not say that boonex is looking to contact anybody.

this is an admission that HFW has failed members and this is a move in the right direction, and shows boonex does listen.
there are members in talks to see what can be done, as some of us have dedicated servers and pay see more
You have put it out there, exactly how it is.
Good on you..
and yes I am a huge supporter of DosDawg and Yourself and I can honestly say that had it not been for you two then I would have given up on Dolphin a long time ago, (not dolphins fault or boonex).
I used to be hosted by HFW and had nothing but problems, I moved with DosDawg's Terabyte Hosting and RMS and have not had any hosting issues at all since.
Also, any issues that I have had while developing my site DosDawg see more
2.Selection criteria:
*Auto-installer included in the package
* Small banner and text outlining why your company is good for BoonEx customers
Specialized packages for BoonEx will be the crucial selection criteria.
Auto-installer? The host should provide a means of a one or two click auto-install for dolphin from within there hosting account or am I mis-understanding this.
I have only seen 1 that ever had a dolphin auto-installer in the hosting see more
1) a packaged addon for cpanel, plesk, etc that a user can self install and remove at a click of a button.
2) a custom script that runs with the skel. dir when an account is created and does a install based on pre-defined information.
3) custom page function that will do all install functions with form input.
The later is the method most have tried and ran into problems with scripts setting permissions, etc.
Boonex has a cpanel add on , although it see more
cyberxing is also working on an auto installer, and at some point there will be one released that will work. the larger problem as mentioned by cyberxing is that some server configurations are not setup to run dolphin, and you get into a load of issues with permssions and file setttings. this is one of the reasons boonex is running see more
Sammie and Dawg are both GREAT people as well.
Cant go wrong with any of it.
CyberXing
just to touch on your post here. you are correct, about hosting with a "fly by night", you could certainly end up in trouble. if you choose a hosting provider who is offering $1.99 hosting accounts, or who is offering you "UNLIMITED Bandwidth" or "UNLIMITED Space", then you should consider this persons background. there are multiple ways of doing that on the vast internet, I personally check a lot of domains for age, this tells me a ton about the domain environment, see more
its broken and shouldn't be used until its fixed. but like the other big hosts, that offer it untested unproven, you have made an error in judgment, by giving something thats not working right, and that will only lead to your customers complaining and if they use it to update their sites, look out, you are going to have a lot of pissed off people blaming you for the lost of their sites.
see poor hosts that offer their customers something untested is a sign of see more
well just for your information, DosDawg and I have more than one dedicated server, we have a few online and 6 on order
2 RMS servers, 1 Backup server, 3 hosting servers, and 6 on order, i dont think that sounds like a fly by night person, do you?
We know dolphin, we also know servers. and we also thought about what people want so we are going to offer a shared server service. this is limited see more
I just want to throw out this question to all you guys and hopefully get a few responses from Sammie, CyberXing, and Dawg. This applies to other individuals as well who runs dedicated servesr that caters to Dolphin clients.
Like some of you, we are a small but aggressive growing hosting business with multiple servers and techs working for us 24/7. Given the competitiveness of the hosting business, paying $100.00 per referral and on-going commissions to Boonex seems unviable.
When see more
just want to touch on one thing here, regardless of what boonex is asking as a referral fee, and a continual % commission, there is something i think you are mistaken about. there are absolutely no dolphin hosting packages being offered for $7.95, yes there is some advertisement that would lead you to believe they are offering hosting for $7.95, but if you dig into that, which i have and have transcripts from both of those hosting providers flying their banners with a price advert on it, see more
Given the fact that Boonex are referring people to these hosting outfit, my question is how are smaller hosting business able to compete.
I am running 2 dolphin sites on HostMDS.
They don't have an auto-install yet, but I'm sure you could talk them into that in return for a bit of traffic.
Otherwise, they seem to be very compatible.
Their main advantage is that they don't put limits on anything (except perhaps processing power - you have to pay for more grunt)
They are just changing name from vistapages,
so please forgive any confusion

If it's not too late I would recommend hostmonster.com a US based see more
no matter, thanks for the great product.. we have been disecting dolphin and recoded parts over the past week or so since we heard of then installed.
