One part I am wondering about:
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 account, and that was back in dolphin 5.6.

If so then auto-un-installer, auto-updater, auto-patcher too. Last time I checked hfw didn't even have a auto-installer. Maybe they do now, maybe they don't.

Anyway just curious.
There are a few ways of doing it:

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 doesnt work very well (we are modifing one of our own to solve some issues) .

boonex has provided us with an auto-installer to test. we are still reporting to boonex the issues we find, and they are diligently working on the auto-installer.

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 the hosting tender advert, to establish who has optimized their machines to run dolphin.

i must say, i am quite amazed at the amount of work it takes to get a machine configured for a dolphin install. all modules required for dolphin are not run-of-the-mill modules, and the majority of hosting providers just dont go through the trouble of going the extra step to do the installations. then even after you have purchased a vps or dedicated machine, you send a support ticket, and BAM, you get a response that there is a $50.00 charge for that installation. TYPICAL of HFW, those of you hosted there know exactly what i am talking about.

the servers we provide as dedicated and the shared dolphin hosting are configured to run dolphin optimally, and there are no hidden charges for installations of modules or RMS. this is all standard with our packages, and those who have hosted with us, or even those who have signed on for RMS have been very happy with not only the service, but the amazing support that is provided afterwards.

The Terabyte Hosting Solutions Team, does periodic follow ups to ensure that each and every site we have hosted, installed or modified, is still up and running as expected.

I must say, Terabyte Hosting Solutions goes the extra step to bring unity to the Dolphin Hosting environment.
