Day1

Messing on the internet and found dolphin swimming past me. Spend a few hours reading what I could and decided "this can work"

Next step begs dad for his credit card - not an easy task but he had no objection on this. Kiss Kiss Dad. Now all of the above was easy.

Till Arthur said that word CRON JOBS ISP and so on. wow i spoke with hosting compnay and they politely said -WE DO NOT SUPPORT CRON JOBS, WE WILL NOT INSTALL- and many other things.

Well I have moved to another server that does support cron and the poor man who has started the installation will have a nightmare when he sees my email later today!

Just for good luck, I have tried to convince them to it, really I did

I have placed some questions on teh forum as well today, hopefully I will see some answers and more importantley someone who will take it up for me (smile)

hi. If you need a decent host that is completely configured for dolphin get in contact with DosDawg on here. My hosting is with his company and is perfect for the job. Good luck.

Take your time and don't get frustrated, so many get confused and turn away at first. If this is new to you it takes time to learn like anything. You don't become a master over night. The more time and effort you put into learning it, your site, and hosting in general the more it becomes second nature.

Some get hooked right away, while others take a while, and some not at all. Just give it time and let it grow on you!!

Good Luck!!

hosting is the most important thing you need. i can not stress how important the right hosting is for dolphin.

you'll pick up some great advice from the members that know this script.

dont buy anything unless you ask someone, as it can be a costly mistake

excellent suggestion sammie. i have actually been working with cemtim on her adventure. weak hearted for those who appear sincere. she has the best hosting other than yours of course that is available on the internet.

based on personal experience i use hostforweb. I know dolphin tries to sell this too but i was wary of the ol bait and switch. But it worked for me when i was clueless about everything dolphin. If they sold it as a good fit for dolphin, then at least you know it has the necessary stuff like crons , and whatever else your confused about what is needed to get dolphin up and going. When it was time to transfer to a dedicated, they did it all hassle free. It might be more pricey than some hosts, but see more

powasam5000 most of the hacked sites where hosted with HFW, count yourself lucky you moved to a dedicated server
