If you can't run crons on your host there are some free alternatives for those that can't. I've never tried them but there are some out there you can set up an account with. Try google.

Templates? One persons opinion what they like and dis-like might be the total opposite of my own. You can freely edit the standard tmpl_uni folder for .css, images, and what not and alter it to your liking. Will it take time sure. But for free what's a little time.

404 error, possibly mod rewrite is not enabled see more on your hosting. And in combo with your main .htaccess file included in the download .zip has the rewrite rules and conditions. Otherwise you can try un-checking the permalink boxes in your dolphin admin panel settings permalinks.

This does sound like a free host or at least a host with very limited features. If you are already running into problems as mentioned, most likely this is only going to be the beginning of your problems.

I would say spend a few $'s for a decent paid host. Try the free dolphin, ray, orca .zip first. Test it out. Try it for a while before purchasing licenses. If it don't work out you are only out a few $'s maybe $7-$15 for actual decent dolphin supported hosting per month. Many hosts also have a 30 day money back guarantee.

Everyone wants cheap or free hosting, but usually you get what you pay for. $7 per month is less than $.25 per day. $14 per month less than $.50 per day.

Find a good dolphin host. You will save yourself a lot of time, and eliminate most technical issues and problems.

those looking to host a site for $1.99 are not serious about their site. so i just quit posting about it. let them soak in their frugalness for a bit, and they will eventually realize that if they would read the Technical Requirements, they would save a ton of time on that as well.

good post GameUtopia and Sammie
