Dolphin WILL run fine on a shared server... but are you planning on have less than 20 members? If your site is on a shared host with 2000 other sites the whole thing is going to lock up if more than 5 members are on at the same time.

Indeed Dolphin will run just fine on a shared server. The site I use for Dolphin testing is on a shared hosting plan that costs me $1 per month. I'd never consider it for any type of live site though.

I used a $6.95 shared hosting with a vps server just for rms.I had 201 users online at the same time for the first week and my site didnt crash but only 6 users use the chatroom .It is always a best practice to start off with a shared hosting then upgrade to vps when necessary then dedicated when the site grows bigger for a vps to handle .
