Hmmm, not sure how truthful you are being there, seems this post is self-serving. I understand you offer 3rd party services for dolphin and you are a host but to paint the new software with such a wide brush is not being very kind to other resellers or the dolphin software / developers for that matter.

The truth is, nobody knows how the new version will perform since it isn't even in alpha let alone see more beta mode yet. I know plenty of folks that run WordPress, Drupal, PivotX as well as Etomite on cheap servers with no issues that could not be addressed by going to a faster/larger sever when and if the membership / visitors was to actually climb in large numbers.

For those reading this you just need to know that not all hosts are built the same and you have no idea what kind of gear is behind a $5 account. If you want to know, wait for the download and try it yourself. Reading about someone saying that this don't work and that's too slow is just not reality. You have no idea how much this person knows about servers and installing scripts.

Side note: I am previewing the new build on IE7 because that's what the majority of my visitors will be using. I saw a previous comment where someone said switch to Firefox and problem solved. Not gonna happen, it has to work for all major platforms and right now when I try to load the site my browser actually stops responding for about 2 sometimes 3 minutes - not good.
