Dolphin and choosing the right Host
Dolphin uses the most advanced scripting languages that are around today. The more up to date Dolphin is, the more up to date your hosting provider has to be.
Dolphin was never written for use on a shared hosting environment, but because more and more people see the potential and ease of Dolphins drag n drop technology, more and more people are trying Dolphin on their shared hosting plans.
Because no hosting company is the same, and most have their own servers setup for the masses, and use words like "unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth" people see Dolphin as a site that uploads/downloads music, and video, so needs lots of unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth, for its hosting environment.
Throw in a $4.99 a month price tag for your unlimited hosting account and you have everything you need to build a great site with Dolphin. Trust me on this, you are going to spent a lot more in the following month for headache pills, (you'll get lots of headaches) hair restoration creams/pills/treatments (you'll be pulling your hair out by the months end) a new pc to replace the one you just tossed out the window.

Email the Hosting provider a list of questions (this ensures you have a record of what they said if you want to claim your money back) make sure your questions relate to the package you are interested in. Do not give them the opportunity to confuse you with mixed replies about different packages.
