Speed Increase - Part 2. Web-Server Configuration.
AlexT has just updated Hosting Server Setup Recommendations with a set of tips on how to optimise your Apache web-server to boost Dolphin performance.
Our tests show that proper web-server setup gives huge bandwidth economy, page-size savings and loading time improvements. In some cases clients load up to 700Kb less data per page! Difference in browsing experience and search engine positions may surprise you in a very positive way.
So, if you haven't already - optimise your Apache for Dolphin or make your hosting do so ASAP!
Next up...
... we plan to add more details about Dolphin cacheing and NGINX configuration very soon. Ultimately (and I hope we're talking about the nearest future) Dolphin will become known as a snappy community platform. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Hot on the heels... AlexT just added the How To Setup Dolphin on NGINX Web-server tutorial.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
This from my Host:
Our monitoring system reported that apache service is down in your vps xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx. After further investigation we are able to locate many SSL related error in your configuration files:

Please post problems in the forum next time
Litespeed is great and costs cheaper than to change server for a bigger one and has better results,
so maybe you pay for it from 30-90$ per month but the difference of trafic you are using, the server capacity and speed that is increasing,
and and and cost much more at the end.
So litespeed is cheaper than apache even if apache is free.
Ps:there is the free version too.
Nginx is good for other kind of content but with big security holes
